Advice for rack additions 17-Mar-2012 At 3:28:17 AM Nova

Message

So i live in Ballarat and mainly climb at Mt Beckworth but also get out to You Yangs, Camels Hump and when i really CBF'd driving... Devils kitchen (well aware how shit it is) but the traverse around the water hole when its empty can be an easy few hours "bouldering". Planing to also get out to Falcons Lookout, Ben Nevis and of course Grampians and Araps!

Currently not climbing at all

but was leading trad and sport up to low 20's while also doing a bit of top roping and some multi pitch.

I would like a bit of advise from anyone who has the time (and patience) on what would be some useful additions to my rack for these adventures and any others that would be worthwhile around the Ballarat area.

I currently have:

BD Camelots .3-2
BD Stopper Set Pro 1-13
Metolious Curve Hex 1-10
Figure 8
BD ATC
GRIGRI 2
Wildcountry Ropeman (for some top-rope soloing used as a backup for the GRIGRI)
2x Petzl pulleys
Petzl Ascender
15 assorted Biners
10 quick draws
10 bolt plates
10 assorted slings
34m 9mm static
60m 10mm static
50m 11mm dynamic

As i sometimes climb with 3 others (who have no gear) i also have 4 harnesses, 4 sets of shoes, 2 helmets and 2 chalk bags... ohh and a first aid kit :P

I was thinking another longer rope and some larger cams, worthwhile? any other ideas?
