Done!
Well not really. The problem is that you can never be complete. There will always be some oddball route you run into that call for 4 pink tricams, or want to aid some monster that requires a pile of knifeblades, etc whatever.
Once you have a good base of nuts, small to largish cams, go out and climb. As you find yourself scared away from routes due to lack of gear, buy what you need. A few years back I wanted to jump on Double Cross. The night before I hit the store and grabbed an extra #3 and #3.5 friend so I would have a total of 6 pieces in the #2-#3 camalot range. I plugged everyone of them into that 80' pumpfest.
I since bootied another #2 camalot, and now have 5 pieces of that size. Sure enough, an aid route I want to do calls for about 5 as a minimum. Sheesh.
