Also have a almost new #8 Metolious Ultralight Powercam, 40 plus shipping

Looking to clear out some excess gear that needs a good home, everything is in good shape but used. Backpacking Gear: Osprey Ceres 38, well used but lots of life, size large – 60USD Climbing Gear: BD Rock Lock Carabineer – 5USD Neutrinos, lightly used – 4/each Yates Cable Picket, brand new, unused - 25USD Green #6 Metolious Powercam – 35USD Kong Resting Fiffi - 5USD legal part - Obviously if you choose to buy used climbing gear from me you must make your own call about its safety. I would climb on all the gear I'm selling, and believe it to be in good condition - but I make no guarantee or warranty, in any form, regarding the equipments safety. Anyways, hope you found something useful! PM with email for pics. Cheers, Rob

EB First Ascent Serano / IgniterJackets?
robpatterson5 replied to selkirk's topic in The Gear Critic
cool, thanks for the considered reply - I wonder if anyone else has any comments? I usually climb in a R1 hoody and R2 vest if it is cool, but the combo has been a little light for me on a few occasions when where a 100g PL1 hoody has been too much overtop. Dont usually take a fleece jacket with me b/c of weight and bulk but have been carrying a spare R.5 top b/c of this - I'd been thinking about the nanopuffs to save a bit of weight and also for their windproofness. I just got a pata ascentionist and my memory of their readymix was that the windproofing was lacking (but have been reassured that is fixed)... -

I was just thinking of asking about the nanopuff as a mid-layer, sounds like its fairly sweaty even with a R1 for winter? -
I have a huge ID pertex bivy, 10-12oz ish and easily fits a winter bag and more. Great bivy but rarely use it in winter, if you have a skinny bivy I might see myself trading to save a few oz in the summer.

Any advice on stabilizing a foot inside a pair of boots? I really like my boots and they fit well, but there is a tendency for my foot to slide forward when climbing ice and bang off the front of my boots - not nice! Fit is great elsewhere, no heel lift, ect, great except for this. Anyone have something smiler? How did you fix it?
-
honestly thats what Ièm thinking - Ièd also like to know what about the Xenos makes it so much better then the aspect lol leaning towards the arcteryx béc I dont always do easy stuff and just like the packability, nice for after work, also lets me get by with a smaller pack and there is less wearing the harness on the approch. Probaly will get the Aspect if the 350 doesnt go on sale soon
-
Thanks all, sounds like the 350 might be the ticket - anyone have experience adding a 6in quickdraw around the waist loop as a haul loop?
-
Thanks all, think if I was just getting it for alpine I'd grab the really light petzl harness, looking for more of a all rounder - anyone know how small the Xenos folds down? I just heard from the arcteryx rep that the 350a is not going to be changed this spring, which is too bad - I had hoped for another clipper slot and a tag loop
-
So my BD Blizzard is on its last legs and I've been looking for a replacement for some time. Seems like there are a few options and I thought I would ask around what people like? I'm looking for one harness for everything, ice, trad, sport, whatever mountains/skiing/glacier travel I do, ect - although the BD Colouir does look nice for slogs/skiing. The BD replacement for the Blizzard looks nice, as does the Xenos - I'm not sure if the Xenos is worth the extra cost though, and the Arcteryx 350a beats both of the BD harnesses on weight/bulk... That said I'm not sure about the durability and have heard that the ArcTeryx harnesses do not carry a bunch of trad gear well. What are people using, what do you recommend? I'm looking for something with 4ish gear loops, clipper slots and a haul loop, and leaning towards the BD replacement for the Blizzard b/c of price - still the arcteryx is tempting, not least b/c it packs down so small - to be honest its nice for packing and nice for going to the gym mid-week Any recommendations?

If I were buying a pack specifically for touring I would only buy one with a Avylung or ABS in it. If I wore a avylung as part of my clothing I'd double up on my safety and get one of the BCA ABS packs, otherwise I think personally I would grab a BD clamshell. I've actually never owned a touring specific pack but if thats what your getting it for I dont think there is any sense or reason not to as twight puts it "make you harder to kill." Avylung pack or ABS is what I'd get, probably the lung

I have a pair of lightly used Integral Designs Hot Socks for sale, mens large, forest green. I bought the wrong size, love to send them to a good home. 35USD OBO.

ya, the offered price seems like its well below market rate for pretty much everything, maybe not the biners.

Doesn't sound like its in Canada, but if anyone has a coupon I'd love to grab a copy.
-
jeeze I wish the Canadian stores had pricing like that!

any idea how high the spike plug goes up the shaft on the Ravens? I'd like to attach a slider to mine but need to put some stopper screws into the base.

PM on boots -
no worries - I was wondering what people thought of the semi vs automatic bindings for WI? I'll be using them with Nepal Evos and Spantiks
