  1. Size 36.5 in excellent condition (hardly worn). Excellent trad/edging shoes, but a bit too small. Will ship to US for free. Pics available.
  2. I'm not interested in that now, but I'll keep that in mind, thanks!
  3. Reduced, will sell the boots, liners and gaiters for $275 shipped or the liners and gaiters for $50 shipped.
  4. Never used the daisys and ditto the aiders, both are about 10 years old. JRAT was a pretty cool company, so those are a bit of an item, but given their age I'm not going to charge for them. I'm sure they're fine for aid and jugging as your are not supposed to use either for anchoring.
  5. Yes all pins are BD and no I'm not going to piece them out. (I'd get killed on the shipping and want to get rid of everything) But thanks for asking!
  6. For sale: Pins, Hooks, Daisy Chains, Etriers. Asking $140 shipped to U.S. Pics available. All pins & hooks are 100% unused and retail is $231.150 with Mountain Gear just for those. Lost Arrows: 2 #1’s 1 #2 1 #3 1 #4 1 #6 1 #7 Knifeblades: 2 x standard 2 x thick Bugaboos: 1 x short thin 1 x short medium 1 x long thin Hooks: 2 x BD Talon 1 x BD Cliffhanger 1 x Kong FiFi Thanks!
  7. For sale: Western Mountaineering Puma Super MF $245 shipped. This is size regular, right zip, in very good condition. It is the grey/green microfiber shell and I'll ship it to the U.S. Pics available on request.
  8. I'm selling all or some of the following, so let me know if you are interested in everything or anything. Pics available for all items. 1. Scarpa Invernos U.S. Size 8, in very good condition. Most likely I would only sell these along with the liners, the expedition crocs and possibly the overboots. With the liners $275 shipped, with the gaiters too, $300, with everything $345. 2. Intuition liners molded to a size 8 shell for the Invernos. These also have a Superfeet Green inside. This is the high-top model that provides better warmth and support. AMH reccomended these over the low tops as they have a better lining. Worn once for two days. Asking $50 shipped (good price as shipping will be close to $10). Nice buy if you want to supercharge your Invernos instead of spending $600+ for Nuptses. 3. OR Expedition Crocs, Black, in good shape. Asking $30 shipped. 4. Forty Below Penguins Overboots. PRISTINE. These are the K2 Superlight without the gaiter and work well with the crocs. Size M will fit plastics and single boots 7ishh to 9ish. Never used! Asking $50 shipped.
  9. Unused size M (Fits me layered quite well 32"w 30" inseam). Black, epic shell, no longer made (or you can spend big $$ for the bulkier bibs). Price includes shipping to the U.S. Pictures or more info on request.
  10. That's not what happened AndyF! Well, not exactly anyway. I was lowering you off and that snake starting buzzing well before you hit the ground. It was a damn big one too--I could see part of it in the crevice under the climb and it looked about three inches thick. That was probably the biggest one I'd ever seen. I could also see it was trying to get back underground. You were pretty eager to resume your descent but I wasn't about to lower you any further until we had some kind of plan. I recall that you jumped out, I paid out a ton of slack and you landed on your feet a good ways out from our new friend. That was a pretty impressive manuever! You were flapping pretty hard at that point (which was quite amusing given your normally chill demeanor). At the time, it was my opinion that you were not in range and between the relief and the uncontrollable desire to laugh (and perhaps to have a little fun), I didn't give you any more slack for a bit. I remember the other guy and I (and you) thought that whole thing was pretty damn amusing. As for the Tieton, I can't tell you the number of times those goddam locusts have given me a good start. I've had more problems with the snakes while bouldering--including the time my dog saved my ass. I had started up something that I was pretty sure to come flying off of (at the Cozy's wall) and by pure luck noticed he was giving a spot ten feet away from my landing a good hard look. Then he looks at me with this 'what the hell are you doing?' look. So I stepped off to see WTF was going on and here comes this rattler along the base of Cozy's wall through the grass and its in the middle of molting. As some of you may know, they really can't see very well (or rattle) when they shed, and thus are quite testy and very dangerous (notwithstanding their normally passive nature). So I'm pretty glad I didn't end up landing right on that snake. Ever since then I always give a good look down at either of those walls if I know I'm coming off. There was also the time I startled one on that narrow, eroded section of trail on the mud cliff to the left of the moon rocks bridge. I used to carry a five foot wood pole for brushing and was damn glad I had it in hand. As for the Cave, I've been there in April on cold day with bunches (dozens) of them just lying about everywhere, but they were in such a torpor that they pretty much ignore everything. My partner kept picking them up and they really didn't seem to care. I remember sitting next to one coiled up and it watched me and I watched it and that was it. One nice thing about the rattlers is that you don't have the 20 dogs (or their owners) running loose around the base like at so many other crags. I do know of a few dogs that have had to pay the price for their owner's ignorance, so I'd just warn people to be a little smarter (and don't tie Fido to a tree or he may share AndyF's fate!). Personally, I'd rather wage war on all those goddam ticks. I've been sitting on a rock slab to the right of the Cave and seen a dozen ofthe little bastards crawling at me (the saddle to the right of the Cave is a bedding ground for Elk and Deer and is INFESTED). That would be another reason to leave Fido (especially if you are going to be sharing a tent) or better yet not go at all!
  11. I have a feeling that one came out of the old Olympia gym, right Lucky?
