SRT - Gear advice

[evo]

There are times when MRS is the best tool for the job, there are times when SRT is the best tool for the job, and there are times when a combination of the two is the best tool for the job. A truly well rounded modern climber must be well versed in both MRS and SRT. Don't short change yourself..Learn both.

Both fo sure. New climbers I like to put them on SRT a few times, then ground them to moving rope until they can intuitively tie a Blake’s or taught line blindfolded. Then throw the fun stuff at em

Ditch the HAAS and go for a SAKA. You need a chest harness of sorts. I’d personally ditch the snake tail. Tachyon is a bouncy shit SRT rope, go with extatic or what use to be a Yale 11.7. Not sure what the hip star is but if it’s a lanyard I’d just go with a few hitch cords, oval carabiners, and a couple of hitch climber pulleys.
I’ve never used a zigzag, so no input there, but if you had a few hitch cords and a hitch climber laying around it would give you some versatility

The hipstar is the new version of the green Teufelberger CE lanyard. I think it has an additional certification and an updated iota of fabrication, but is essentially the same thing.

Don't forget a few carabiners.

Is it ever possible to have too many carabiners?

Yes, it might be possible

You are missing a few...

The first row and a half are the earliest and just guesswork when they were manufactured. Mammut’s choice to limit distribution of some items has driven me to stop collecting their gear. So I guess you can have too many, anybody interested in a carabiner collection?
