Hard to follow a box of black totems, but here goes ... 

Fuck, that #8 is way overcammed! Time to build a new crack!

Also curious how you train on the cracks the black totems are in? My fingers barely fit in that size!

"The gear nut, he has enough gear to solo Mt. Thor... which he would never do because that would require using and possibly scratching some of that gear." haha

Took all my gear down to pack it up while building the basement wall, so took a second to snap a photo.
Classic franken-rack..  Everything on the cordalette is the standard rack.  The rest are seconds. ATC, nut tool, some draws and biners not pictured.

Foot chips and painful tips locks. For the smaller size, you can only really use it w another jam in a different crack or using constrictions created w the screw ons. Your pinky can hold a surprising amount like that. Who knew

Cleaned, lubed and remarked everything today. Ropes also got washed and new middle marks.

Its not much but its gotten me up routes from 5.4 to 5.12, one pitch to 15 pitches, in beautiful places like Joshua Tree, Red Rock, Zion, Yosemite, the Sierra and more. I've only had it for a few years now so I can't wait to see where else it takes me!

Lol, it's nothing like some of the crazy ones in here for sure. Slowly getting there but it gets the job done.

I think the term is, "you do more, with less".

That rack of guidebooks may be the most impressive thing, save maybe that you already have a #7 and an #8.
