Not really that great but the idea is good - maybe somebody should do a bouldering specific packwhiz?

No need here - I have tick lists for climbing trips already made up - it is the only way in my world.

I would quite probably be a control freak were it not for the fact that I forget stuff all the time hence the requirement for endless lists though I suppose I could put together a list of all the things that I wish to control...  :-\

Does your nearest and dearest have a special list pertaining especially for you?

It's Spain you need vis vests for everyone..
 the new one this year was carrying spare bulbs for the car...
and don't forget head light adaptors - remember once the French Fuzz waiting at the toll gates pulling over every English car that didn't have them...
