Here is a list of the gear I usually bring with me when heading up to a sport crag. I usually climb in the Pacific Northwest, specifically in the Exit 38 crags near Seattle, or Frenchman Coulee near Vantage (all in Washington).
I usually carry two belay devices (GriGri2 for belaying, ATC Guide for rappelling). I like the autolocking function of the GriGri, but prefer to rappel with a more traditional tube device. For most of my cragging, the approaches are short, so the extra weight is not an issue. However, if the approaches were longer, I would ditch the GriGri2.
- Harness (Edelrid Jay)
- 12 Quickdraws (Black Diamond Freewire, 12cm)
- 2 alpine draws [I use these mostly to extend anchors when needed] (CAMP Photon Wire with 60cm Mammut Contact 8.0 sling)
- Rope (Edelrid Boa Eco, 9.8mm, non-dry)
- Belay Device (Petzl GriGri2)
- Locking D carabiner [For attaching belay device] (Petzl Spirit Screwlock)
- Edelrid Ohm [My usual partner is heavier than me, so this is a lifesaver when he leads]
- Climbing shoes (Scarpa Force V)
- Chalk bag
Most climbs that I frequent require rappelling after cleaning, rather than lowering
- Double length sling (Black Diamond, nylon)
- HollowBlock (Sterling, 13.5")
- D Carabiner [For securing third hand backup] (Black Diamond Positron)
- Small HMS locking carabiner [For anchoring with sling] (Black Diamond Mini Pearabiner)

- HMS locking carabiner (Black Diamond Rocklock)
- Helmet (Petzl Boreo)
- First Aid Kit (REI Weekend backpacking kit, with added matches, flashlight, and toilet paper)
- Cell Phone (Nokia 3310)
