That description is actually the opposite of how i am when im actually climbing. But in my living room, when all i think about throughout the week is shit like this. I find it pretty fun looking for perfect solutions, or solutions to really obtuse problems. Then hopefully when im on the rock, im somewhat prepared for any situation. But really im the furthest from anal / perfectionist when on the rock.

Thanks for all the great ideas guys. Keep them coming.

Note; Cams are heavy and expensive, and often wont fit where wires will! (but i still carry a set)
