Gosh! Very thorough. 

 

"The collection now has 4568 cataloged items (not counting duplicates) including 3205 unique ascenders, descenders and related devices; 676 different carabiners; 223 distinct pitons, bashies, and heads; 389 varied nuts, cams, and hooks; and 75 disparate hammers, ice axes, crampons, and related tools. Thanks to many contributors, it continues to grow at an accelerating pace. Go to the Recent Updates page to see what's new, and the Construction Plans page to see what's coming.

The Collection at a Glance Area shows my equipment display at the 2023 NSS Convention, where I displayed 3702 items. This was a huge effort, dwarfing the previous display at the 2009 International Congress of Speleology/NSS Convention held in Kerrville, Texas, USA, where I displayed 1299 unique items. It took me 22 months to prepare displays for 2023. I promised myself never to do this again, as the equivalent task now would be much larger."
