Thanks ... the flexible friends are #0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 & 2

Here is a pic of the cams ...

Okay, here is the un-dibbed gear I have left for sale. No piece of trad gear has been dynamically loaded, I am too much of a wuss to ever lead out over anything. Tri-Cams #0.5 (pink) #1 (red) #1.5 (brown) #2 (purple) Lowe Camp Tricams (made in Italy). Cams The cams were purchased new in '95 or '96 (depending on the piece) and have not been placed since '97. They have that "used" look from being carried all over hell's half acre, e.g. J Tree, The New, Smith, L'worth ... but not from being Gumbied on. All feature fine, smooth actions with no grit or crap in the springs or works. #0 (purple) Metolius TCU #.5 (purple) twin-shaft, un-slung Black Diamond Camalot #1 (red) 1.5 (orange) 2 (yellow) 2.5 (lt. blue) 3 (pink) Wild Country Flexible Friends ( without the nylon shaft sleeve) 'Biners Some of the biners have been dynamically loaded on sport climbs, but no sick whippers or anything like that. All gate actions are smooth, no grit or stickiness. 19 Oval Carabiners, all UIAA rated, some from Black Diamond, some from Omega USA, some from EMS. 20 "D" Carabiners, all UIAA rated, some from Black Diamond, some from Omega USA. 6 Locking "D" Carabiners, all UIAA rated, some from Omega USA, some from EMS. These are regular sized lockers, not wide gate or oversize or anything.

WOW! She got a raise, I see ...

i guess i am just not used to the culture of this board. i only get pissed off if someone impugns my integrity. if they had said something like "your momma sucks for bucks down at the bus station" or similar, i would have laughed my ass off. norm

yeah, sandrock is a great place to climb. the sandstone erodes into funny shapes like gym holds. little river canyon is great there too. i used to boulder at an area underneath the tallassee dam ... it's closed now.

I am very surprised to see insinuations that the Trad Gear I have offered for sale may be stolen or acquired by some other nefarious means. That gear was acquired by me from 1991 to 1996. Early pieces were purchased from REI and a local shop in Auburn, AL. Later pieces were purchased via pro-deal discounts when I was an esteemed employee of Sportrock, a climbing gym in the D. C. area. Later, I taught briefly at Stone Gardens in Seattle. My name is Norm Jacobowitz and I live in Seattle. I quit climbing in 1998 when I became an avid motorcycle rider. The gear was last used in 1997. As for the individual who accused me of stealing gear from Squamton, I suggest you be more judicious in your accusations.

Thanks for all the responses, folks! I will post a full inventory soon ... right now the gear is at work where a coworker was looking it over ... i don't have the details memorized, but will soon post details, pics ...

Howdy, I have a large rack of trad gear that I no longer use. It includes Camalots, stoppers, hexes, tons of biners, micronuts, TCUs, tricams, etc. No piece has ever taken any lead falls (I am too much of a wuss) and are in great condition. Do people actually purchase used trad gear? I would like to recover at least some of the thousands of dollars I spent on it all, and hope that someone can use it. Let me know if it is worth posting the items here ... Norm normj1969@yahoo.com
