Get heaps of slings. They have so many good uses; reducing rope drag on wondering routes (rope drag sucks balls), threading threads & trees, making anchors, just to name a few. Plus they weigh next to nothing, and are cheap.
When I rack up for trad, I grab 6 extender draws (60cm slings), and 2 long 120cm slings, and then I supplement with standard quickdraws.
Wear a couple of slings around your shoulder, and add a hex or two I you wanna look old school. |
