Big Gee in Action
What follows is an almost comprehensive list of my climbing, rappelling, caving, rescue gear. It isn't exhaustive but not much is left off. Besides simply making this corner of my website more complete there is another more serious benefit. If I ever disappear this page may make it possible to positively id my gear at least.
I mark hardware with 2 different tapes which I found at Identi-Tape, Inc.
