General level of leading trad:
Pretty solid to 5.9+ of any kind, unless it's rotten unprotectable rock.

Hardest trad lead:
Hardest onsight: 5.11b/c

Typical length of pitches in your area:
I mean, the typical pitch at the Gunks is 80-120 feet, while some routes on Cannon have pitches that typically check in at more like 140-180 feet per pitch.

Gear: types of pro and how many total pieces you carry on your standard rack:
Geez, it really varies, mostly on the length of the pitches. Then there's the size of the crack. If it's a small crack, I'll take mostly stoppers, and a few small to mid-size cams. Where if it's a big crack, I might have no choice but to load up on double size 3, 3 1/2, 4 Camalots! Plus the smaller gear for when i can find side cracks.

With all that said. My medium rack for the Gunks: 3 tricams, lots of stoppers, one set of cams from black Alien through #3 Camalot (9-10 cams), and sometimes a set of hexes to double for the big cams. Then I can add or subtract from that.
