Even more basic you could drop the lanyard and just use the other end of your rope in the same manner as you describe for the first end couldn't you? Then all you'd need would be harness, rope and 2 krabs. Granted it would be a pain to use with all the tying and untying for changeovers.

This is what I got recently as a basic climbing kit David

 

Petzl Sequoia Harness New version

Yale XTC Fire 37m climbing rope

Yale XTC+ 1.5m Split Tail rope

Stein Cambium Saver Steel Rings

Harkie Orange Karabiner

Gustharts Adjustable Lanyard Kit

 

Hope that helps and any comments,questions appreciated I'd say that is pretty basic.

 

PPE is a Petzl Vertex Vent Helmet and Oregon Waipoua type c trousers and boots. And a personal First aid kit, whistle and knife.

When I first started it was a harness, rope, side strop, 2 Prussik loops, 1 fro rope, 1 for strop and a short bit of rope for my saw.

Only thing different now is a rope grab on my strop and a rope guide.

Sorry. I didn't mean to step out of line. When the OP asked what was the most basic climbing kit, I was genuinely trying to come up with a the most basic system I could think of, as I thought that was what they meant. I wasn't trying to take the pee.
