How do you Rack your gear? Gates in or out facing?

[F4?]

I prefer gates facing out as I swear I’ve lost gear due to a snagged gate.

Did anyone ever have the gear cord on harness come undone, unloading your rack to the squirrels?

[F4?]

Shall we go back to where to poop?

How bout some other flogged to death climbing forum topics like dogs at the crag, pull testing something, factor two fall scenarios blah blah blah

[F4?]

Right more mainstream topics....Where is that Mungie guy, he had good ideas now and then.

Oh, Oh, I know....the American Death TriAngle!

YES, what if the chains are not equalized, the stresses.

[NOAL]

You forgot the ever fascinating shock loading.  I could read pages about that topic. Totally engrossing.

Do these cams make my butt look big?

[mynameismud]

No, your ass looks massive.

[F4?]

So back to racking of gear....do you sling cams and rack draws gates facing out??

[Brad Young]

No, facing in. Anyone who climbs using a gear sling puts gates in.

Not worth its own thread, but I had a three star experience putting up an 80 foot one star 5.9 today. It included 30 feet of continuous movement up a narrow ramp with a very thin crack at the back. Very, very committing and looking at a weird fall into space. I think I embarrassed my partners as I got in tiny stoppers and shouted with glee about my "great nuts."

Joel P and BAP both followed and called it 5.10a. I channelled my inner Dennis and told them that if it couldn't be 5.9 it was 5.8 and not 5.10a.

And I led it with gates in....

On a gear sling some in and some out then hand off to Brad and see the look on his face.

Make sure you don't put any sizes in any kind of order too.

Yeah.
Right.

I like that technique Noal.

[mynameismud]

I prefer my gear slings short  ; )

[F4?]

Gates out!

That way you know you have not clipped the draw onto you shirt.
