General level of leading trad: 5.9-5.11
Hardest trad lead: 11c
Typical length of pitches in your area: 120ft
Gear: types of pro and how many total pieces you carry on your standard rack: As light as I can, normally never more the 24 pieces. In the flatirons Ill go with 1/2 set of nuts a few tri-cams and maybe 4-6 cams, theres just not that much gear anyway. "Light is Right" you can't climb hard grades with too much extra stuff. Nothing wrong with running it out plus "leader must not fal,l" anyway right?

general level 5.6 to 5.10 totally depends. hard climbs that I have wired I carry just what I need and get to the anchors with just enough stuff to build the belay. Places like cannon where I will be climbing 60 meter pitches I carry a pretty big rack with up to 17 slings/draws and a screamer. The quantity and type of gear that i carry up a climb totally depends on the area, style and dificulty of the climbing as well as my advance knowelge or lack thereof of what I will need.
