Great to hear these are still in use!

PRICE REDUCED I only used these a couple of times. They are sharp and the mono point is in great shape with very little wear. Actual photo of crampons

These are the latest generation screws, not the old Turbo's. Used, but in great shape. They are sharp and the threads have no major dings. (3) 13cm and (8) 16cm and two Ice ScrewUp's I would prefer to sell to whole set, but will piece them out. See below for pricing. $300 for all, plus the ScrewUp wraps for free. That works out to about $27 per screw! Selling as sets of four $170 for the 16cm, set of three 13cm $105. Sold each $45, Ice ScrewUp's $20 for the pair.

Price reduced to $180 from $230.

PM sent.

These tools are well used, but still in good condition. I also added umbilical attachments several years ago. Here's the post: Nomic Umbilical Mod They could easily be removed if you decide you don't want them. I also confirmed that the latest Griprests will fit on them. Two sets of Dry picks included, one pair are like new and the other pair are used and were modified for drytooling. PM if interested. Local only, no shipping. Cash only.

These boots are now Ebay if anyone is still interested. Priced to sell, CC.com discount! They are on Craigslist for $280. Cash or PayPal. PM if interested. I used these boots once on a ice climbing trip to Hyalite Canyon. They are in like new condition with little to no signs that they were even used. They are great for colder temps and fit very similar to the Scarpa Freney of the same size. These are the same as the current model shown on Scarpa's website. It's a great boot that deserves to be used, sadly I am not ice climbing much these days.

Papers, studies and controlled conditions tests are nice to have, but there is no substitute for real world testing! I've fallen on screws twice in 23 years of ice climbing. Only one was a real test of the screw and the ice. It was a high fall factor on a 13cm in good ice. My partner and I examined the ice after my fall and there was no visible ice fractures and the screw had no signs of damage. Although it sucks to fall ice climbing, it reaffirmed that a properly placed screw in good ice will hold significant falls. My $.02

jpark and I did Chockstone on 12/8. It was in great shape. We also checked out Keekwulee Falls on 12/10. The falls were formed from top to bottom, however we decided not to climb due to the giant water spouts on the top of the left column. The right side was also a gusher. We did however find some *new* ice. Two climbs above Keekwulee came into view after some early morning fog lifted. These are not the climbs listed in the guide and they are on the NW side of the trail (before the switchbacks above the falls). No idea if they've even been climbed. Here's a few pics of the route I've named "Out of the Fog" WI 3+, 50m. Out of the Fog, 50m, WI 3+ jpark near the top of the route on the route. It's about 50m, WI 3+ and much more fun than it looks! The ice thickness was about 10cm for the entire route and poorly bonded in places. jpark topping out of Out of the Fog Out of the Fog is on the right. The route on the left looked about the same grade, but clearly not as wide and probably thinner. Upper part of Keekwulee Falls

This recent cold snap did produce some ice, even as low as x38. Unfortunately most of it isn't well formed and will probably be gone in a few days. I managed to get up the NW Buttress on Chair this morning. The snow conditions were very good, the ice not so much but better than nothing. Some routes around source lake are also coming in, including Source Lake Line, still they probably won't last. There was a lot of melting and ice falling down when I left around 1 pm. The temp back at the car was still 29 degrees and it's supposed to be fairly cold tonight so conditions could be okay tomorrow. I would recommend going early. By the time I got to the steep, albeit very short ice step it had started melting and a few chunks of ice were coming down as well. Here's a pic showing the NW Buttress of Chair. Go get it before it melts!

SOLD!

These are essentially brand new since I only tried them on at the crag. This is my second pair and they are great shoes, however my feet cannot tolerate tight fitting shoes anymore. My street shoe size is 9.5-10. It appears that these shoes have been discontinued which is unfortunate since I really liked them. Not much available online and I didn't see anything in this size. The retail was around $120. They are a great, all day trad shoe and good all purpose shoe. I see them in the gym occasionally. PM if interested.

I've had these for over a year now and they don't fit so I am selling them. They were used on one outing and after cleaning they are in 'like new' condition. Chances are if you're reading this you understand what these boots are meant for and what they can do, so if you need more details just ask Ueli! Kidding aside, please don't make a ridiculous offer for these since they retail for over $400 and I am selling them for less that the Charmoz or Trango S. I can say that these boots do have a very technical foot. My feet are a bit wide and I also have foot issues so I need a boot with more volume, especially in the toe box. I really, really wanted these boots to fit. They hardly weigh more than my Salomon GTX trail runners! I am also now considering a trade for size 43 (US 10) Scarpa Charmoz GTX. They will need to be in good condition. text or call 480.734.0925 if interested. Dan

Bump for price reduction, now $290. I've been busy so they probably won't go on Ebay until thu/fri.

I waited a long time for these boots, but unfortunately I've discovered after one outing that they just don't fit. They are crazy light and don't weigh much more than Soloman trail runners! The length is fine, however it appears that Scarpa created a lower volume and narrower width boot in their quest to make it super light. These boots are priced to sell and retail at $420 so no negotiating on price. Please also plan on knowing that these boots fit you at this size. They will be here about a week and as usual they will go on Ebay if they don't sell. Please txt me at four-eight-zero 734-0925 or PM if interested. No calls please. Local sale only. I will not ship. Note that they are in like new condition.

--- Updated with actual photos --- Good solo 1-2 day pack or for one day alpine ascents. I liked the pack, however it's a bit 'techy' for me so I am selling it for a more minimalist pack. Osprey doesn't make it anymore, but the Variant line is still alive. It will be heading to Craigslist and Ebay at the end of the week if it doesn't sell.This pack retailed for around $140-150 and is currently only available online for $158 USD on some Euro website. PM if interested. (LOCAL SALE ONLY)

Great job to the both of you! Also great to hear Paul is still out flying. I flew with those guys ages ago (1994) and I still mention them to anyone that is talking about heading up there. I really need to get back to AK.

They're nicely broken in, but do need resoling (still on Vibram rubber). I have a pair of Scarpa slippers that have been resoled twice, they're 8+ years old and the elastic is not even worn out! I am selling because they're too small. My street shoe size is 10, not sure what I was thinking, maybe that they would stretch?! PM if interested.

Still for sale...

I recently tried to convert an old pair of boots into fruit boots using these crampons, however they were too flexy even after attaching rigid link bars. Brand new, never used. PM if interested.

@Jens Rap Wall is a dry-tooling crag, the anchors do get buried which can be a pain, however imo they are located correctly for the routes. I took a 20'+ inverted fall on RZA last year because I slipped trying to find and clip the chains which were buried in snow. It was a fun ride, however a bit scary to think of now considering almost all the bolts needed tightening on that route! If you go after the snow falls I would suggest climbing around to the top, rap off one of the trees above the cliff and then clean the chains. Some of the bolts get covered as well, especially on the right side. I mainly go there in the fall since the routes are much more fun when they are snow/ice free.

Out at Rap Wall again this Sat, took way too many falls and couldn't seem to stop dropping my right Nomic, no major damage except for a busted griprest. I did get a bit battered though. That being said the bolts have been inspected and tightened on all routes except for the roof (far left) and Ghost Dog (far right).

Climbed at Rap Wall today and brought the wrench along for a loose nut that I found on Chuck D last time I was up there. What I thought was only a loose nut turned out to be a bolt that wasn't expanded, as in it literally felt like the bolt was only tapped in! I replaced the missing bolt on the climb with the large crack last year, it's the one in the overhang the the right of the crack. I fell on it hard last year so it's been tested. I heard Chad Kellogg fell on the original bolt a while back and it pulled sending him flat on his back to the slab below. At this point I would consider all bolts at Rap Wall suspect. I will be tightening the remaining ones when I get a chance, but it may be a while. All the bolts where tightened on Chuck D, including the anchor bolts. Have fun out there!

Just leave the old gear behind, that's one way to upgrade to modern pro Tom! To whoever may find Tom's gear...no that it's cursed and using it will lead to your demise!

Nice job guys! Not exactly summer conditions up there right now, but for me that was a blessing. It did make the summit pinnacle pretty exciting to say the least! I did the NW Face on Milk Creek Glacier (not the North Lobe) on 7/1. After seeing your photos I can tell you that conditions haven't changed in a week. It was neve from the start of the snowline all the way to about 9,500. The rest was rime, but surprisingly good rime. The 20' of rock I had to climb on the East side was a bit scary, committing moves with huge drops down the East face. The rock is crap, but amazingly it all stayed in place! If anyone is thinking about climbing this peak I would do it soon as conditions like this won't last. From my perspective this is the time to climb this peak since there is much less danger from rock fall and the chossy summit pinnacle is a fairly pleasant, albeit steep snow/rime ice climb.
