Thru-hiker.com is awesome and has all sorts of raw material including down...titanium....and silnylon. What I still can't get my hands on is the new eVent Fabric that all the new single-wall tents will start to your. Check the site link below for the fabrics: http://www.thru-hiker.com/materialsStore.asp?subcat=16-bottom&iLevel=2&txtCatName=2

I have some cams etc...that I would like to have slings replaced on. I would also like to get some custom slings made. Anyone know of a good shop that they use?

I want to drag a friend of mine up this route this weekend and I have conflicting beta, some say that Burdo over rated the crux pitches and it really is only 5.8, others say it is 5.10 at the crux ....some say it is a choss pile..others a diamond in the ruff. Any words to add to the others????

Thanks for the beta.....sounds like I need to get more leepers, mashies and offset aliens.....mmmm gear.

Thinker - what gives you the authority to go and undercut somones yard sale? Just because you are in the "know" on where to get gear on super sale, does not mean you have to rain on grippedclimber's parade.

Anyone been on Thin Red Line this season? Is there a lot of fixed gear? Is there some new blank section above the third pitch or something? Thanks for any beta!

You can get them from cheapsnowboards.com for $48

took a good whipper because of a ball nut .....well probably because I suck at aiding.... They are kind-of-hard to look at when placing them high in questionable rock, but when you find a home for them they make you feel warm and fuzzy.

Its just the keeper, look at all the old style belay plates that use a shoelace to keep the device from running off on your rope. no big deal, although it does lower general trust in the equipment!

How about $150

I have some Scarpa Laser boots in Scarpa size 10.5/11 for sale. They come with Raichle Thermofit liners. Both shells and liners are in good shape. These boots are dynafit compatible and are super-light with the thermofits. $175

Hey thanks for the selling support cj001f ! ...and to add to the deal... I will ship these for free

New in box Dynafit Tour Lite Tech Bindings 2001 models (the blue ones). $190 pm's welcome

probably to late....but I would buy both

Still have the Black Diamond Aiders, daisy, and a few more aid hooks.

Reduced to $70

The"mechanically in your favour" refers to its ability to reduce rope drag on a climb where you are z ing out your gear....which makes sense + think how much easier it will be to pull your self up to your last piece of pro after taking a whipper!

Tired of listening to your climbing partner? Barely used Samsung YEPP Mp3 player for sale. The player has 128 mb of memory (stores about 2 CDs worth of music) and comes with headphones, protective case and belt clip, and all software. This little player is very solid, lightweight, does not skip, and the software makes downloading easy. Great for working out with....solo aiding etc..! More info here: http://store.yahoo.com/ismartshoppe/yp30sh.html I have only had the player for about 6 months and would like to get $80 for it (half the cost that I paid for it). I will also pay for shipping. pm me

The Rally skis suck (hence only $99), I have skied the Tour Lite Techs and they ski really well in spring conditions. for what its worth: A lot of Euro-trash guides use these skis on serious descents!

The transition of climbing stores to mainstream is standard and always has had this sort of backlash from foundational customers. This same transition happend with skateboarding in the 80's. Vision streetwear etc.. was for skateboarders, but as the skate scene became popular - Vision went way to mainstream and became the enemy of skaters. For better or worse - this is capitalism, so stop your crying!

just to clarify - this gear is all lightly used

There are many stupid habits that are formed at 38 Draws for TR - Rungs only for rapping

Have you checked out Armond DeBuque's Ultimate Telemark Binding? They come with crampons. I think they are scary.....and so did the AT skiers who skied mowich face with him....but hell he skied mowich face! http://www.telemarktips.com/UTB.html

I have some aid climbing gear that I never use and would like to sell: 2 Black Diamond 6 step Etriers/Aiders - $30 for both 1 Black Diamond daisy chain - $10 1 set of Black Diamond micro-stoppers (New) - $40 1 Metolius Easy adjustable Daisy Chain (New) - $15 Some BD aid hooks (email me for pics) PM me

The sale was sureal...it was like that wave that surfers are always looking for. Between the six of us that were there when the store opened - we cleaned them out of about 15 full sets of metolius and BD cams, portaledges, pitons, quickdraws..... The only sad part was watching how bummed out some of the store employees were to see all the gear go for so cheap.
