Arcteryx Theta rain parka in black. Doubles as a nice darkcloth in addition to being one of the best rain parkas made.

One item no one has mentioned I carry is a knee pad; the type that gardeners use to cusion there knees when kneeling down. For lower shots it helps when kneeling before the ground glass, and keeps my knees from getting scraped up-very handy and light weight.
carbon fiber ice tools, by black diamond ...
medieval weaponry so sweet you want to take them to bed.
(and a bottle of whisky, no e. but i've had some pretty good ones with an e, too. try not to think less of me, Struan).
The booze I can forgive. But that ice axe is just a toy. What's wrong with an iron-shod staff? If it worked for Whymper it's good enough for me :-)
And I still vote for my wellies. When I'm dug out of the blanket peat in 2000 years' time, they'll still be usable for the lucky finder.

I still use my 70's vintage Chouinard/Frost piolet and Chouinard crampons every once in a while: Classic beauty and rugged functionality!

Slurp. delicious!
I just changed my mind, as of this past weekend. I spent $200 on new parts and a Saturday afternoon rebuilding my bicycle - new tires, handlebars, etc, etc.
I figured while $200 was a lot of coin, it is still only - what, 2 or 3 fill ups at the gas pump? With my 4x5 in my backpack, and my tripod on my rear carrier, it will not take many trips on my bike to recover that $200 in gas I would of spent.
So my bike is now my favourite, new accessory.
