Comatose 5.8, 4K Trad Lead

My belay partner crushed it to the crux. Didn't have the right gear to complete the route so I went up to lead and collect the gear. What a classic and fun climb!
Description
Comatose is the classic climb is this area. The climb follows an arching and widening crack, using some jams and liebacks, until you step onto the face at a notch. Cruise the face climbing section to the anchors
Location
You can miss this crack...
Protection
Standard NC rack and a 4 inch piece. Long slings. Rap anchors at the top of the climb. 60 m rope will get you to the ground with stretch (barely)...a 70 m is better.

how do you know how many pieces of gear to take up the wall with you? and what sizes?

A guide book helps. Or MTN projects (where routes are shared).
Typically, I will bring a “standard rack” plus whatever extra the guide books or MTN projects says. If I don’t know anything about the route, then I’ll bring everything. 😂 When you’re new to trad like I still am, then I want to have as much as I can carry. 😝
