Trad lead varies on fitness & headspace, I lead (not necessarily onsight) .10+

Number of pieces: 26ish
14 cams 12 nuts

pitch length: generally 100-140ish. (EDIT: often try to link pitches into 180-200')

general disclaimer about leaving stuff on the ground, yadda yadda. I typically will bring all that on a multipitch though, maybe even a couple extra cams for belays and a mental security blankie. I have felt myself hosed by faulty guidebook rack listings more than one time.

I'm also one of those dudes who doesn't mind showing up at a belay with 10 or even 15 pieces still on my rack. But I know some guys who hate that!
