    Climb/Backpack Sale

    in The Yard Sale

    Posted · Edited by robpatterson5

    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?

    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)...

    boot fitting advice?

    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?

    Recomendations for a new harness?

    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, 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 :cool:

     

    Any recommendations?

    Touring packs

    in the *freshiezone*

    Posted

    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
