hey, I'm intrested. My email is robpatterson5@gmail.com. best, Rob

I have a pair in mens small that I could sell cheap if that would work. Good shape, just dont fit me anymore. If your intrested send me a PM.

I've got a pair of Arc’Teryx Theta SK Bibs that I'm looking to part with for about 150 USD OBO, they are Men’s small with a long inseam, but would fit Women’s Medium or anyone in the 30-32 range. Great pants in quite good condition, I’ve just outgrown them. Best, Rob

Hey all, I've got a bit of gear that I've decided I need to get rid of and was wondering if any of you might be intrested. All of this gear is in great shape and pics are available, first offer takes it. Arc’Teryx Gamma MX Hoody – 200 USD. Men’s medium in Azual and in like new condition. Nothing wrong with it, I’ve just realized that I prefer the complete windproofness of my old Gore-Tex, great piece of gear. Arc’Teryx Theta SK Bibs – 180 USD Size: Men’s small with a long inseam, but would fit Women’s Medium or anyone in the 30-32 range. Great pants in good condition, I’ve just outgrown them. Feathered Friends Volant Jacket – 120 USD Men’s Large, in a light orange / dark yellow (very nice colour) with black reinforcements. I bought this online, but have come to realise that its just a ‘tad’ too big and I already have a belay jacket. Great shape, 750 fill, EPIC fabric. Shipping should be 10 USD or so, and my email is robpatterson5 <at> gmail <dot> com Best, Rob

I have a pair of mesn small Arc'Teryx XCR Theta SK's that might fit the fill, inexpensive (180), durrable, great fit and awsome features. I've replaced them with the same PM me if anyone is intrested. Otherwhise I'd go for the Lowe Alpines, esp the eVent ones. Cheers

I might be intrested but it would have to be a 'really' good deal as I'm in school right now. My email is robpatterson5 <at> gmail <dot> com.

... but it looks to be sold now, sorry.

maybe... someone was very intrested in it, but hasent responded in 2 days. So... if your willing to put the money up now, you can have it. Call it 160 shiped?

Arc’Teryx Theta SK Bibs – 180 USD Size: Men’s small with a long inseam, but would fit Women’s Medium or anyone in the 30-32 range. Great pants in good but used condition, I’ve just outgrown them. Insuil-Mat Woman’s Max-lite – 35 USD Regular size. Again a great mat, but I more around too much for a shaped mat. In good to very good condition. Feathered Friends Helios Pants and Jacket with hood. I bought both of these second-hand online, don’t use the pants too much and the jacket just fits a little bit too big. Jacket is a XL and well loved, but has a few years left in it and comes with a new hood - 55 USD. Pants are in better shape, 750 fill, Mens Medium and essentially new but have one professional repair – 60 USD. Pretty much the best/lightest down setup available today IMO, again I’m selling b/c I don’t use the pants enough and the jacket is a tad too big. Western Mountaineering Highlite – 150 USD Basically new, and slept in for about 7 nights with Capline. It’s a beautiful bag, but I just can’t get a good night’s sleep in it. 6” length, 16 oz, 850 fill down, and a conservative 35-40 F rating. It’s a great bag, I bought it to use as a summer bag and a liner in winter but can’t seem to get comfortable in it.

Not a platic boot, but I'm a HUGE fan of the Salomon Super 9 Guides. I've used these super comfortoubly for -30 days of NE ice climbing this winter (those few that weve had) and absaloutley love them. If its super cold out I use liner socks, grocery bags and mid-weight Smartwool hikers, never been cold in them, but then again always been on daytrips. Climb nice too. Kicker is thay can be had for about $110 new. Awsome boot, would highly recomend despite the lack of insulation. Cheers: Rob

I dont know if anyoe is intrested, but I have a WM Highlite I'm looking to sell. Its seen about 7 nights use while wearing Capline and always in an tent of a bivy. I'm just a very cold sleeper and want something with a little more 'omph' to it. 150 + whatevers shipping sound good? I'll probaly toss up a add in the For Sale Forum, but I'm lazy right now. Cheers: Rob

I may get shot down for this, but I've been extreemly happy with my Simmerlite for winter camping. Granted it does not have the full power of something like the XKG but from what I've seen it comes close, lighter then the Dragonfly too, and simmers just as well. If you want something for dedicated expadishion use then I'd get the XKG, but I've been very happy with my stove. Cheers: Rob

Thanks, thats just what I was thinking. Off to MEC now... Cheers: Rob

I'm sorta loath to do this, but I'm thinking of buying a Petzl Elios helmet secound hand. Its a good price and soposidly 'never used,' but is this a smart idea? Sorry for all the gawker type questions. Cheers: Rob

Thanks for all the help, I'll probaly just go with the piramid, b/c I like how it feels like a more secure lock off then the ATC. And 'maybe' a smother feed. Their about the same price anyways. As for a gri-gri for multi-pitch, thats an awsome idea, luckaly I have the run of my clubs equipment locker for more technical (read $$$) stuff like that. I just want my own set up, for 90% of the stuff I do. Any issues w/ shinny or iced up ropes for any of these plates? Cheers: Rob b/t wide-mouth Nalgenes ROCK! You can even get a splash gard for them now which makes them even better now IMO (although I tend to louse those). Anyways, keep on fighting about Belay Plates, this is helpfull.

Just wondering what you all thought of the Trango Piramid, vs. the BD ATC or ATC-XP. The XP, looks to have more gizmos then needed IMO, but is this true? I'll proably get the Piramid, b/c I liked the way it fed and stops falls, but any issues with it? Sport? Trad? Ice? Alpine? What do you guys think? Oh ya, no exotic sugestions please! I want to be able to go to MEC and pick one up as oposed to dealing with ordering one online. Thanks for your imput. Cheers: Rob

True, but hindsite is 20/20, and while I'm not defending his Natzi sponsership, but it was a (relativle) minor part ofhis life. The one nice thing about hindsite is that you can see all of the other things he did and the context in which they happened. And while this may not atone for a photo-op, at least respect the man for his remarkable later life. As for your point Dru, I think you made it.

I like my Boreal Spiders, really comfie, work well with my feet and climb well. MEC has them cheap right now.

SOLD

but are they HOT 110-year-old chicks?

I know what you guys are saying about less chalk, holds at my gym are preaty chalky so I just use the stuff on the holds . Basicly I'm looking for something to make my hands feel better but not dry them out too much after 2-3 hpours at the gym. Never heard of that kind of a gapper, Dru. Cheers: Rob

I've been climbing in a gym for the past 3 months, and over that time my hands have begun more and more to resemble boot leather. I've tried some moisterizesers but they seem to just exasberate the problem (moistens and softens them up, and then the chalk dirys them to $#$##@ again). Any sugestions? Headed to MEC soon, but generaly I just shop at the good 'ol drug store, so nothing too esoteric. Chhers: Rob

I'm thinking of heading that way, any recomendations for where to go/stay cheap during Febuary? St. Anton sounds really nice!

PM sent

I'm sorta looking at something along these lines, is a parka along the lines of the Wild Things Belay Jacket warm enough for a Volcano Slog? Cheers: Rob
