In a consumer world where the middle classes have to have every potential new fangled fad item for any given activity, yes. Garages full of stuff that gets a run out once in a blue moon.
You see it on social media with peg-boards and fancy storage systems where everyone's brand new and unused climbing kit is on individual hooks like it may as well be a climbing shop.
If it isn't all battered and clipped to one sling and left in your climbing bag or chucked in a bucket, you're just a poser!
