For sale is one pair of La Sportiva Women's Lhotse boots. Size 38 which I would guess to be about 6.5 to 7.0 in US women's based on how they fit me when I put them on. I bought these without trying them on at a sale. Asking $160. This pair is about 5 years old on the shelf, but only worn a few times hiking. They have never been wet, never been climbing and have never been treated with any water repellant products. They look like they are your brand new mountain climbing boots that you have worn around a little to start the break in process. I did not wear these enough to mold them to my feet, so they are still fresh for you to do that yourself. La Sportiva does not currently offer this boot in the light grey/silver "Women's" version, but they do offer the standard version and here is a link to the specs. www.sportiva.com/products/footwear/mountain/lhotse-gtx If I still lived in the NW and if these fit me, these would be the perfect boot for climbing around on Glaciers. The tongue design is especially nice on this boot. It would really keep out the snow and has kind of a double tongue that has velcro that connects the two tongues together. There is some light wear/scrape looking mark on one side of one of the boots. Since I have moved 4 times since buying these, I think they just got a little scraped when living in a box with other unused stuff. They would not pass for "new" on the shelf at a store, but this slight scuffing will look totally normal once you do your first climb in them. $160 including free USPS flat rate shipping is a great deal on these since the current version (which is not as nice looking I think in all black!) retails for $437 right now. Since I have had them for so long and got them on sale myself in the $200s range, I don't want to make a ton of money on these but do want to see them do some summits. Shoes are located at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and I will accept returns for a full refund if you pay to ship them back to me and they come back to me in the same condition that I sent them out in. Here is a link to these boots at Overstock (not being sold there anymore, last price $262 at their site) www.overstock.com/Clothing-Shoes/La-Sportiva-Lhotse-GTX-Wome>>> Intersting they call a Size 38, which is what I am selling a 7. I am not so sure that it would fit all Size 7 wearers. Since this boot is on the Makalu last and is a nicer sturdier boot than the Makulu, I bet that trying on a Makalu in a store would give you a really good idea if Size 38 fits you and Makalu's are commonly available at retailers (for about $300!)

Scarpa Denali AT boots. Size is not marked on boot or shell. But, I wear about a 7 -7.5 (approx Mondo 24-24.5) and these are a touch big for me. Did several seasons in them though. Solid reliable classic boot, good for ski mountaineering. $65. I am currently located in Bellevue and I work in Kirkland. I work extremely long hours so an Eastside meetup will likely be required.

So, you are asking $375 -$500 for this bucket? $5 a pin...good deal. Aid climbers with $500 for a bucket of pins? Good luck! I was interested, but not for that kind of dough! I got my first bucket of pins from an old timer who did a lot of first ascents in the Valley. Every thing I needed to get started (have had to buy very few since then and have done maybe 20 nailups?), lots of unused pins, some cool bongs for nostalgia and an awesome CMI hammer. $75.

Atomic TC 9 Skis - barely used, in great shape. Edges are perfect. Super light skis for backcountry/touring. Have been mounted TWICE, but for a small foot (women's 7.5) and should happily take the next mounting, especially for a bigger foot. Here is a link to the model and some specs. http://idaho-adventures.sierratradingpost.com/p/3074,71229_Atomic-Tc9-Telemark-Skis.html These are sold with NO BINDING and including BD Glide light (blue cow pattern) skins cutto fit which are also in great shape and were used a few times only. $100 or make me an offer. For Seattle area delivery/pickup only.

How do you know what rack to recommend if you didn't go the tippy top?

If you have any of these original style HB Offset nuts, as pictured below, I am interested in buying sizes 4,5,6 (yellow, green, blue) for a fair/generous price. Used is fine, as long as the cable strand is not frayed/broken. Also, I would be interested in trading some of the size 2, red, for bigger sizes, as I have surplus red. And I would also trade a green for a blue, as I only have one blue. Contact me at hollyclimber@aol.com

These shoes are pretty new and were worn only a few days. There is some very slight evidence of use on the rubber. The shoe itself is still in that stiff, brand new shoe feeling state. For sale for $80 shipped to you from CA, or best offer. Email me at hollyclimber@aol.com These have been sitting around for 1-2 years. So they don't say "5.10" on the Velcro like todays model...

For sale: Koflach Clima Montana plastic boots. Unused, with a little wear from trying them on and having them around. Stated size on the boot is mens 3.5, UK 3. Will sell these for $60, which includes me shipping them to you from CA. Please email me at hollyclimber@aol.com H

I want to buy this rope bag that BD doesn't have available. I am willing to pay about $40 plus shipping to Yosemite. If you have one of these that you would like to sell, please get in touch with me at hollyclimber@aol.com Here is a link to a site with a picture. http://www.myshopping.com.au/ZM--203500791_Camping_Outdoor_Activity

Well, you know, it should have been obvious, but I haven't been on this board lately, so now I know...too bad, as pink is my favorite color.

Everyone has to live somewhere.... I made my choice.

Yeah, actually Yosemite sucks all the time and my dog and I really hate living there. It especially sucks during the times that we live in dog-friendly park housing right beneath Yosemite Falls- probably the worst view in the world to wake up to. Thursday nights after Sal's going home to my own bed, no stay limit, free entrance into the park, its all really lame. Boy am I glad that I am not there this week...my friends have only been doing lame climbs like Serenity to Sons, cragging at the Cookie. Luckily I'll arrive in April, so maybe it won't be so bad...

Bump...and pretty sure that I am leaving Thursday am. Non-stop to Chinese Camp. Layover in Chinese Camp for arrival sometime on Friday. (Rudy- I sent you a message on Facebook...)

I am leaving the Seattle area and heading down to Yosemite on Wednesday (ish) and would like to offer a ride to anyone willing to do a little driving. Dog lovers only. Room for your gear, bike, etc. email me at hollyclimber@aol.com

All this stuff is in great shape and has simply been replaced with newer stuff or stuff that fits me better... Yates Big Wall Rack- http://www.yatesgear.com/climbing/wall/index.htm#1 Red webbing, size small $50 Don't be confused. The XS that I just got to replace this barely fits me. I think that size S will likely fit most men pretty well. Unless you are a big MOG, this "small" could be the ticket. (Yates says chest size 36-38, not sure if that is accurate) The rack is in very good shape. However, I have probably climbed at least 15 walls in it, so it is not "new". Gals, I recommend the XS. My new XS is "ok" on me, but I definitely could go smaller! This is a great wall rack, and best on the market in my opinion. Cassin Grade V+ haul bag $50 Decent size, in very good shape. Has a beefy harnessing strap and beefy waist belt. Similar to a basic FISH bag. BD Cams- The generation just prior to the current models (so no fancy clippy loop). Also except for one cam, these have all been reslung this year by Yates and then climbed on for only a few times after that. .75 Cam Green - $30, reslung by Yates with a green sling .75 Cam Green - $30, original webbing in good shape #1 Cam Red - $35, reslung by Yates with a grey sling #2 Cam Yellow $35, reslung by Yates with a yellow sling #3 Cam Blue, $40, reslung by Yates with a blue sling Metolius TCU- Size 0 purple, $20, cams are in fine shape and cam action is "good". The plastic sleeves that protect the cable are not in the best shape. Sling is original and in very good condition. Alien Red Alien. $20 Possibly an ORIGINAL model. The cam action is fine and the unit is structurally sound. HOWEVER, its old, and its kind of "floppy". So, its not a great free climbing piece because it would be hard to place it fast on the draw. Perfectly good aid piece as it just takes a moment of "intention" and then this thing is totally fine. If you are interested, please email me at hollyclimber@aol.com Please note that I will be out climbing from Tuesday am until Friday mid afternoon or so. I'll check my email today and tomorrow, and then check again when I get down. I will add actual shipping to everything. Cams are physically located in El Portal, CA and I will of course deliver to the Valley if desired. I can email pictures if desired. Since this gear is pretty standard, except for the haul bag, I figured they were not essential. Holly

Looking for someone who wants to get in about 2 nights a week to Redmond VW, month of September. I want to do some roped climbing. Should be able to team up even if we are climbing different grades. I'll be climbing 5.9s for a few more sessions before I move up to mostly 5.10s, as I want to make sure I ease my tendons into the plastic climbing. PM me if interested. Also, if you read this and aren't interested/available for "every week" but want to go THIS WEEK, please still PM me! I want to get going on getting my fingers in better shape for face climbing. Also, I am more than happy to help along a beginner, as long as you can manage the gri gri in the gym and can climb for at least two hours.

Nice report! Great pics on the rock!
