Gear

Pair of Garmont rando boots.
3-layer goretex bib pant hanging from the closet door.
Guidebook; Classic Climbs of the Cordillera Blanca Peru, by Brad Johnson sitting on my coffee table.
Guidebook; The Andes, A Guide For Climbers, by John Biggar.
Foot/binding plate that popped off of my Volant Spatulas when I broke them, hanging on the wall.

By this afternoon, there might be another pair of skins and a new ski bag sitting on my floor.

Jesus!

But what's remarkable isn't the amount of gear. Its that it is all located in my kitchen and living room.

2 pair of unmounted Broheamoths on the living room floor. I come in for a break from the 100 degree heat and stare lovingly at them knowing soon it will be their time.

Sitting in my office, the following:

Pair of 179 Bros, waiting to be mounted
Pack with climbing harness, some quick-draws, my rock shoes, chalk bag, etc
Three 10mm ropes, all around 60m, need to look over and retire one or so, the boat needs some new rope
A few map books
two fly rods waiting to see a stream this weekend, finally it's not 100 degrees!

No, they should start feeling a little better, but smelling a lot worse, after a few uses. Hit a local gym a few times before wearing them where you need them.

A computer

A big ass cup of coffee.

And a circa 1960's Tom Frost/Chouinard ice axe.

He forgot my auras hanging next to his skis, his mountain bike on the balcony, and a pile of circa 1970 trad gear given to us by my Dad when we were home in June. The piton hammer came in handy when we were driving tent-stakes on our trip over the summer, but I don't expect we'll use it climbing any time soon.

The mountains are my gym. ;)

I've got blisters now and the shoes are a little scuffed, but otherwise the same - stiff and small. Sheesh. The climbing was fun though.

Sitting on my desk next to this laptop is a set of FKS 155s. On the other side is Powder mag; side table has Bruce Tremper; on the floor next to me is my avy shovel and a broken Leki ski pole that needs to be warrantied. More stuff in the room but out of arms reach.
