I selected 2 dozen, but I think I'm actually just over, though it varies somewhat. The rack I pack most days is 28 pieces. That's 18 cams and ten nuts. I only carry around six runners, because most of my cams are pre-slung at 18". I don't carry all of it everytime unless I'm feeling a little stressed about the lead. And if I'm redpointing, I whittle 'er down to the bare minimum, which, obviously, varies according to the route.

But isn't this kinda geographically dependent, too?

(Oops, forgot a few things. The New is almost entirely single pitch, with most being in the 20-30m range. I start to sweat bullets somewhere around mid 5.10 and have sent up to 11c.)
