The owner of this gear cupboard wished to remain anonymous..., 4 kbIn this new series of short articles, we ask climbers that all-important question that gets a gear freak's eyes bulging: "What's in your gear store?" Generally, "store" could be representative of something ranging from a messy pile on the floor to an obsessively organised, purpose-built storage cupboard adorned with hanging compartments, electrical tape, labels and shiny kit categorised by brand, function and size...

So what do the non-sponsored, but keen climbers have in their gear store? We will be asking a variety of climbers partaking in different aspects of the sport at various levels and shaming exposing their gear habits.

Ueli and Conrad's gear rooms put my cupboard to shame, but they have been climbing a lot longer than me and in a lot more disciplines. I'm very pleased with my cupboard though. Perhaps a bit too organised for some but that's how I like it. The room it's in is also my partner's study for working from home. She might need to find a new space once I start ice climbing.

That's excellent, and they said that David Beckham and Mark Cavendish had OCD.

Anytime that you fancy tidying up my kit in return I'll meet you for breakfast in a cafe of your choice and take you up something horrible and scary.

Sorry to be a real pedant but I think you'll find it's best not to hang helmets by their straps ;-0

It gets them into bad habits and before you know it they'll be hanging you.
