What's a good starting point for a Seneca rack for 8s & 9s?
Thanks in advance

I usually carry a single set of cams from blue alien to #3 Camalot, a double set of nuts including offsets, a set of HB brass with doubles of the #4, #5, and #6, and the pink, red and brown tri-cams. For certain routes, I'll add extra cams but I can't think of a route where more than doubles of any size are really needed.

You might want a larger cam if you aren't confident on moderate wide stuff.

I bring a full set of nuts, the largest four micro nuts and a few assorted offsets; cams from micro to #3 (and sometimes #4) with a handful of doubles in thin fingers to hands. Bring plenty of slings. There are many opportunities to sling features.

Substitute regular cams for the red and brown Tricams and this is pretty much the same rack I carry for Seneca. I usually carry a #4 Camalot up to the rocks in case I get on something wider but often leave it in the pack.

I placed the #4 camalot quite a bit, but i also didn't lead really hard stuff.
