Capable individual looking for alpine partner this weekend(Sunday Monday) in North Wa. or South BC. I am in Vancouver. email : avitripp@gmail.com

You've been on either?

this one:

I have a set of BD Camalots for sale. These are all the single stem model and barely 2 years old. Kept clean and lubed. One of each in #.3, .4, 3, 3.5, 4 and doubles of #.5, .75, 1, 2. I am buying a new rack of the C4s. These cams are in fantastic condition! NEVER FALLEN ON OR DROPPED...EVER. 450$USD for the whole set...35$ a cam!! Sorry, no breaking up the set. contact: avitripp@gmail.com

I am not interested in parting the cams out, sorry. Its too much trouble to be running all around and/or shipping them all hither and yon. The price is USD. It comes to 35$USD a cam. Its a great deal for 13! cams. I can bring them to Seattle if you are in the area and you can take a look. Seeing is believing. As I stated in the original post... These cams are in great shape, clean, never droped or fallen on and ready to go.

I think that you have offered a valuable and insightful response. Thanks for taking the time to ponder my dumb poll.

Thanks Dechristo! Good advice!

I wish all gear stores were as friendly and well-informed as Jim Nelson's little shop. Its' one of the few stores (of any sort) I've been where I feel like they are looking out for my interests. Thanks Pro Mountain. BIG!!!!!

Check out this crazy watch... TISSOT T-TOUCH ...its ~700$ and has a compass, thermometer, weather function, and a altimeter that goes to 9000m...and it has a snazzy touch screen! My question....when you are at or near 9000m who in the name of Samhain is taking their gloves off to use it?

Free Soloing....Hot or Not?

I want to get some alpine boots that I can use in the winter/cold. My requirements are warmth, durability, waterproofness, and light weight. I would prefer single boots to plastic doubles. Mostly I will use for alpine ice snow and rock...and some waterfall cragging. Advice and/or opinions appreciated. Thanks

Unclimbed(?) 300m waterfall.

But before you call me a self-interested lying S.O.B. Relax, the only person that called you a self-interested lying S.O.B. was you...bit o' the guilty conscious Murray? I will come in and use your crapper and e-mail terminal like I do every week...

Aren't you the owner of the local gear store Murray? ....bit o' conflict o' interest with this advice, mate.

Anybody have these? Opinions? I've heard that the alpine La Sportivas all get wet, even with gore-tex....truth or friction?

Sorry to anger you Layton. Please don't bomb.

You Yanks don't own Space Planet Mars......I don't think they found oil on it yet.

I am organizing a trip to ascend Olympus Mons via the Favrarian Schnitzel, the left hand skyline (see link) ...looking for expedition members. We will take the "Hooters GaLACTATING Party Cruiser". No Golgons please. Must be climbing at the Xr9-12 level or higher. Gergak.

The thought of spending hours cooped up with balding, middle aged , middle management, sexually impoverished ex-frat boys is thrilling. Ooooh! Can I pay double!? Heres a free one.... Why not just hire attractive "air-hostesses or air-hostii"...(or whatever PC name you call them on this day) for your regular airlines....instead of the mutant seahags all " 'Merican " airlines currently employ?

AI3 = Alpine Ice 3

Janez... I'll be there....I get back to VAn on the 4th of July from Alaska and we can head up to Squam for a warm up...sound ok? Have car. Hope you're doing well....Alaska is nice. Talk to ya soon. -avitripp
