For me less is best, while all the new gear n gizzmos r great. I reckon way too much is dragged aloft these days. A good harness main crab flip line n ya life line with a few tool straps n small crabs will make you money.
Micro pullys split tails n 2 flip lines on a climb are well er impressive but every bit of gear canna be a missing link in your chain of safety too much and you'll find a fast way down.
You left out a good pair of leg spike these'll make you easy fast take down cash.
