One on my Eight, one non-locking on an extension for hauling rope or a polesaw. If I carry a second split-tail that's two more. If I plan to catch a limb or two on a sling add a steel one.
For knotless rigging and speedlining I get a batch sent up once I'm ready for'em.

One biner for double tie ins when I need it, and a small non-locking for saws, water bottle, etc.
Nothing worse than a cluttered saddle.

I usually try to arrange the stuff on my saddle to more or less match the tasks planned for the climb. I do such a wide range of different things aloft that there would be little point in having a fixed list.
That said, I usually have a couple of extra biners to ease my mind, "just in case".

Of like mind. A few ounces for just in case can save you a whole bunch of hassle and some aggravation.

Today I loaded up with them fancy colorful connectors. I did an ascent with the wraptor and while aloft I rigged a scheme for single line bail-out in case the device quits on you in the middle of a long ascent, and too for sending it down on the same rope used to ascend on, and then fixing the opposite end of the rope to the limb for the next climber to come up.
So I had a lot more biners than I normally would. Maybe six. With the Anthron and supplemental grabs I was a real clinky clanky climber.

Probably like any other person who has one, with a SMILE of course!

One biner with a fig-8, one on my ascender or footlock prussik, and I have two of those plastic caritools, one small and one large.
That's what I always carry. Pretty often I have steel biner and small steel pulley with a loopie I made out of Black widow amsteel. It's my compact rigging block set-up.

The ascent with the Wraptor went flawlessly, and with a great sense of freedom and ease. I ascended about 80 feet and never broke a sweat. Go figure.
In the latter years of my career I could easily adapt to the method. The Wraptor is a fine and proven device for ascent applications in and about many trades. Rescue, arborculture, high angle, Bridge work and recreational.

I generally climb with 3 biners. Alfonzo, Felipe, and Jesus. They wear that title as a badge of honor. All great guys who know how to get it done. On my saddle I carry 3. 2 on the hitch climber and 1 on a sling.
