Climbing Rack for the Obelisk

Note Hal and I are experienced trad climbers with over thirty years apiece of lewad climbing. We are skilled at placing stoppers and hexes and also at tieing off chickenheads with slings. Chri is no slouch either with twenty years of leading experience. Here is the rack I took to the Obelisk.

Climbing Shoes
Helmet
harness with ATC and two locking biners
a nut tool
16 free biners
6 single slings 9/16 inch
2 double slings, one 1" tubular webbing and one 9/16 inch
stoppers size 6 through 12 slung on two biners.
hexes size 7,8,9 and 10 on single slings.
#1 technical friend with biner, my personal favorite piece of protection!
#1 camalot with biner
#1/2 technical friend with biner
#0 TCU with biner

At the end of the climb we felt that this rack was sufficient for the route.
