Let's have a thread of total self-indulgence, because I for one need it right now (general election oh god).

What are your all-time favourite pieces of climbing gear? What's that thing that you're ogling in the shops but haven't bought (yet)? Or, what's the thing that you've been mourning since they discontinued it?

Let's use "gear" in the most inclusive sense -- not just trad gear, but shoes, bouldering mats, quickdraws, the rucksack you can fit everything into or the lucky chalkbag.

Warnng: I may talk about pink tricams.

I'm fond of DMM's rainbow coloured gear, my current 'but I waaaaant it' is the biggest cam, but actually the red and green ones are the most useful.

I love my Camp harness, and the exact one I have is no longer made. As it wears, I mourn, because I'll have to try a new one that is made the same way and hope it fits as comfortably.

Also I love my 5.10 shoes. Though I can't remember which ones I have. But 5.10 makes the best shoes in my opnion.

I <3 my Purple DMM Dragon Cam ("The lucky cam") - it's the first gear I fell on, so it must be bullet-proof in all possible placements in future, right? :)

I am most sad about the discontinuation of the 5.10 Spires - I've not yet managed to find any other shoes that fit properly :-/
