gearzen

I would say those coming to "the yard sale" are probably already shopping for gear. Further, it's not like it's baseball or hockey gear, it's directly related to the site, and esp. to the Section it's listed under. The fact that it's available to a broader market outside of the cc.com board doesn't make it any less an opp. for someone at this site. Not going to look is your perogative, others may be in the market. And I'm not knocking sponsors, they are a necessary and vital evil of sites like this excellent one, much like the ads in guidebooks. So I'm not so much as sponsor as an athletic supporter. Peace out, dude.

But having ads for Mtn. Hardware jackets, mountain guides, Mammut ropes and Pro Mountain Sports (and dozens of other sponsors) running down the side of every page isn't a problem? I'm just a PNW climber trying to update my rack, and maybe bringing a good opp for someone else building their starter rack. It's all relative.
