I will be moving up to Syracuse next year. Just wondering what people recommend to use for toprope anchor setups, as I have never seen the layout of the area. I expect ~4 biners, 2x120 cm slings, 2x60 cm slings, and 2x30 ft lengths of 1 in tubular webbing. Anything else I should have in my rack?

Majid, mostly I find you amusing, but in this case...just STFU!
The principle behind your post is valid (rock isn't permanent, yadayadayada), but it is completely irrelevant to the OP's question.
@OP, you should be fine with the gear you listed. Some anchors may (still) involve slinging trees far back from the edge (40'+), but if that turns out to be true, you can always buy some more webbing/static line.

look, dude is traveling a year from now to a unknown (he does not know whats out there) location and he wants to get gear ready today.
in one year from now, god knows what happens out there. may be the local rangers close the place down due to low budget who knows.

Thanks for the response. Since the webbing is cheap, I may get a couple longer bits and some additional static line.
