Besides, did you notice how he had all the gear ready to plug-and-place? How contrived and pointless is that?

He should be taking up a full rack, hastily slung over his shoulder, and locating and placing the right piece individually.

In fact, now that I think about it more, he probably shouldn't be allowed to take up his own rack. Excess familiarity with your own gear gets contrived and starts becoming too much like sportclimbing. Someone should just hand him a random rack that he has to deal with on route.
