If your alpine rack had just 1 piece, what would it be?

Just a thought experiment to see what pieces are favorites for general alpine rock in the <5.10 range:)

Ignore safety for this thought-experiment...

If your alpine rack had just 1 piece, what would it be? For me: yellow TCU.

If it had 2 pieces, what would it be? For me: yellow TCU and pink tricam.

If it had 3 pieces, what would it be? For me: yellow TCU, pink tricam, red link cam.

GPS so they could find my dumb ass.

blue totem

bt, #1 camalot

bt, #1c, ice screw

Hahah you might actually live.

Anyways,

Pink Tricam, obviously.

Nut tool; to answer silly questions.

Well if just 1 to 3 pieces, I think it'd have to be link cams .75, 1, and 2.

However, if not doing hard lead, I think that .5, 1, and 1.5 tricam evos are the most flexible, far lighter, and give you a really good amount of placement options.

If doing lead, I'd take .4 BD, 1.5 WC, and Small Supercam

Hah that's what I was going to say.  Good one!

20 foot hank of ~18 mm nylon sling

6" Monkey fist.

Assuming bolted belays I would take Alex Honnald.

One 13cm ice screw.

Green totem.

Gold big bro.

Surprised on the high number of votes for the totems, interesting!

This is about the range of responses i hoped for:P

One #7 tricam

Don't be surprised about the totem response. The one thing that MP can AGREE on is that totems are good. 

pink tricam! :)

A Tauntaun, so when I'm freezing to death on a ledge SAR can cut it open and stuff me into its steaming chest cavity.

Or 15m of 7mm titan cord to tie myself a set of rope chocks.

Red Tricam

Red or pink Tricam.
