My first 6-7 years of climbing my rack entailed:

2 sets of wires (WC and DMM)
4 cams WC 0, 1, 2, 3,
1 Set of RPs
Slings
QD's

The above Rack will see you fine for **most** climbs up to 21/22 there were a few climbs where i could have used a second WC 1 / 2 but for the most part that kit will do ya.

There are always exceptions to the rule etc, I did borrow gear for certain routes that i knew took a multiple of the same size and some routes I did have to run it out where perhaps more CAMS would have made life a little safer but overall that rack was shaweet... (Still is) ; )

I think it was called Highway 81 @ Cosmic County ( Blueys ) was an example of me running out of gear and wishing i owned 5 CAMS of the same size ..... THe drag it up method seemed to work though..

Later in Life I bought more gear etc All that means is these day it takes me more time to bloody decide what to wack on my harness.... Back in the old days it was just a case of take everything quick easy etc... ; -)
