wow, i just realised that I never replied, pretty rude of me, considering tons of your advice!

for gear- mine was the rope and quickdraws and my buddy took care of the rack. (I also brought a range of small Metolius cams which did not see any use really and tri-cams) Considering he did most of the leading, and the fact it's a few months since... I honestly don't remember. I did get to use my tri-cams for the first time though!!

One thing I DO wish I had- was a second rope. Scrolling back I realise you suggested it, too, in optional gear.
We found one rope to be fine for a lot of the single pitch classics and the short multipitch stuff, but really lamented the lack of longer rapping capabilities. Next time I'm bringing doubles, bought a Joker especially for that (well, with the good intent of trying to get there when I get the chance)

The down bag and jacket got a workout pretty much every night and some mornings. Probably could have gotten away without the jacket, but I'm soft. Well, the jacket is soft and warm, too =) so me, i was warm whilst being soft =)
