Here's a couple of classics from Boulder 72-74
This last one is classic, cold fall day on 3rd pitch (5.6/5.7) of Wind Ridge (when Ivy's wire was still there). Notice "gripped" leader with slinged nut hooked on horn, blue jeans and patched PA's stepping on rope. We weren't too elegant in the beginning.

Jaybro, yeah it's amazing how many times those things "fit the bill". That's on Comeback Crack (5.10b) on Castle Rock in Boulder Canyon.
I'll say one thing, the racks back then might have been heavier, but they sure took up a lot less space, and we didn't carry the whole kitchen sink (couldn't afford it). I see guys on 1 pitch climbs now that look like they've got enough hardware to rig the Golden Gate.
