glad to hear you like the convert 2 as I just bought one to replace my walrus rappeed xv. Are you going to review it? thanks

If you can find them as I think they are discontinued try the Marmot Mutant mitts the have the trigger finger and padded knuckles. they have a removable liner and a driclime lining [img:left]http://i11.ebayimg.com/08/i/001/30/fb/5175_1.JPG[/img]

looking for a good quality down sleeping bag in the -25 to -40 range sized regular (I'm 5'8") thanks much

it's a long size though as to the brooks rangers..I also have a pair of old school wild country ones fit pretty good. when I go it will be the West buttress route. Yea I'm trying to train as I usually have 30lbs in my pack max and am not used to taking everything.

thanks for the advice and I have no disrespect for Denali. Yea after what you all said it makes sense not to carry the extra foot of down on the long bags. My other bag that is a regular is plenty big to fit my water bottle and boot liners in. I agree about it getting cold if too much space is in it to warm up. I have a good tent (new north face ve-25), ice 9000 boots and brooks overboots, wild things andinista pack, though now I have to look into a good stove as I only have canister stoves. The reason I asked about the The north face Inferno bag was the store I work at carries that brand and I could get it cheap. It's not on sale but I could get it for a good price. I think I am just going to look into Feathered friends or some other well made USA bags. I will get rid of my Moonstone cassin ridge long bag. looking at feathered friends site it shows a -25 bag as the most used in Alaska. Is that the way to go and not a -40? thanks all

Ok trying to get my gear for a future Denali trip and very cold winter climbing. I have an old moonstone down bag zone 2 800 fill that is rated for -15 with liner that I don't think will be warm enough for me for denali but fine for most winter camping in the lower 48. I also got an old Moonstone cassin ridge 800 made in usa -20 bag that is a long and won't work with the liner I have from the other bag as the liner is too short. I can also get a real good deal on a new north face -40 inferno 800 fill down bag but they only make them in long (not sure why). I'm 5'8" and was wondering if the almost extra foot of space would be a problem in the cassin or inferno bag? how much foot space to you all have in your bags? Would it be best for me to get rid of the long bag and find the correct size? thanks much

I want to trade my Spectra Andinista for a cold cold world choas. the andi is a medium and I'm looking for a ccw in medium too thanks much

PM sent...

ah the dumb things you buy on ebay to outfit your 12" GI Joe

looking to buy a BD icebox in any condition at a fair price. thanks

how did I come across this....lol it's called bored at work and surfing the net...very interesting though....I almost thought it was just an old link or mistake

yea in the ice lite I think I got the last pair of 9.5 and I got my girl the pro ice in here smaller size...I wish they had the summit boots in size 9ish..lol yea now they have only size 7.5 and below

well not sure if they are the lightest but sure are cheap!!! asolo route alpine boots at $95.96 they are worth checking out also check out my post in On-Line/Mail-Order Gear Shops section about some insane mountaineering boot sale at zappos.com the link to cheap boots thread

wow go to zappos.com it's weird if you look in there mountaineering and climbing boots they don't have these items listed.....but if you specific search for asolo summit boots they have them for $121 and free shipping summit boots and same with salomon pro ice boots for $81.95 and free shipping salmon pro ice boots and salomon ice light gtx boots for $76.95 and free shipping ice lite wow for around $150.00 I got me and my girl a new set of matching orange ice climbing boots!!!!!! I had to pass this on

thanks all that is the kind of info I needed...will seamgrip them up and just use them in spring summer....and start looking for some winter boots... maybe these..lol

I have used the search and see lots of people use these boots. I tried the all black and orange pairs and they did not fit me so well then I got a new pair of the Mcdonalds red, yellow, black ones very cheap new and but these ones fit me. the black ones were made in Italy and the new ones are made in Rumania. I would like to know those of you with these boots do you use seam grip on all seams or just use them out of the box. would you use them on winter climbs with overboots? and how is the durability? thanks all

Yea I want the Ecrin Roc White helmet. thanks

Woman's size 7 (euro size 41) great shaped got them for my sister. she walked around the sidewalk with them and never used them on any climbs or hikes. Now she has kids and stuff...they are pretty much new. these are they sky blue colored ones. Make offer

Just put them on ebay with a starting price of 150.00 and buy it now of 175.00 and $10.00 shipping ...I need cash asap...work is slow http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3687067400

brand new with tags I would like 200.00 shipped make offer trade?

yea they only gave me one of them.....I'm not sure if I am going to keep it or ebay it..lol... as I only got in a week of ice climbing this last winter and I am hoping to take a two week vacation this summer some place to climb but not sure.......but it is also the only thing I have ever won so that is way cool...maybe I will find one of the other who won won and see if they want the other tool......

anyone know anything good about these? I just got it in the mail after winning the contest in climbing magazine a few months ago....

Yea I would say they fit wide...I have a pair of sportiva trango ice in 42 and they fit about the same. So if she has wide feet they would be good. I got them very cheap and was going to use them but my trango ice boots are much lighter so I am just going to sell them cheap...oh and yea my floor has seen better days like in the 70's

here is the photo of the boots for you. they are never used brand spanking new...the box has seen better days though

well I got one pair of ems ones in the past they have a different color and they are foam/plastic not cork and the surface matarial is different. I like the cork ones much better. I just bought a five pack for all my shoes for less than the cost of one pair super feet. the ems ones are kinda like the insole that comes with a pair of Kayland boots which is much better than most.....another good brand is SOF...when I was in the marines they issued us them and they are great for comfort but are kinda almost too cushy unless you are marching for days. I still have my origanal pair after 8 years of use (4 years active duty-4 years reserves)and if I get called back I will use them again-or the cork ones as they seem to work better with wetness
