A rack for a beginner 27-Dec-2009 At 10:10:55 AM h_rouse

hey mate. im newish to climbing also. i just started getting a bit of a rack together and like everyone
said its snowballs. i started out with 10 draws a full set of nuts and a 50m rope.

I have been climbing for about a 18 months and i now have 15 draws including some adjustable ones
made up of a 120cm sling and some wire gates and they come in handy.

i have a set of nuts, a set of hexes and a almost full set of bd c4s and i TRY to use them all
efficiently.

there are Beal top gun II 10.5mm 50m ropes of sale at the moment for $250 at rock hardware. i got a
new Beal 60m the other day for $300 and i find that 60m ropes are just that bit more useful for
servicing abseils when your using a single.

but again like everyone has said its all about what climbing you want to do and where you want to do
it. the one thing i can say for sure is a shinny rack is a unused one and at the moment mine is
glistening and it makes me sad.

good luck and fun racking
