Starting out trad climbing in the Lake District UK, here's my rack so far. What else do I need?

the atc you have isnt really usefull on multipitch, not that it is the end of the world but something like black diamond guide or dmm pivot would be good to have. Some of my friends use mammut nordwand atc
