Thanks JBo6- they were my first go-to (after emailing Dynafit customer service), but they did not have the part. They suggested I trade-in the remainder of the heel piece with them for credit towards a new heel unit. I'm going to hold out for a bit in hopes that there are entrepreneur-ing folks out there that have made after market replacements (and that I can find those persons!).

Thanks Bronco, their site looks promising, fingers crossed while I wait for a reply to the email I just sent them!

Dynafit Vertical ST binding I snapped the heel tower (where the tower meets the plastic plate that caps the heel piece). Any ideas on how/where to replace this bit? Thanks!

Arc'teryx Gamma MX Hoody - Men's Blackbird Med 2012 version. Barely used. Pickup in Seattle, or I will split cost of insured shipping.

Last year I bought Silverettas to access climbs in Quebec, seemed like a killer solution to avoiding carrying two pair of boots or slowshoeing 16 miles into Parc Jacques Cartier. I used them once on a short approach to make sure they didn't fall apart (they did a bit, but probably because my DIN is too low/I am terrified of them breaking my ankle- anyhow they go back together easily). Then I brought them to PJC and skiied 16 miles on them and they absolutely destroyed my heels- biggest blisters of my life. Imagine your entire heel was a blister. Obviously my ice boots don't articulate like my AT boots. What is the solution? I tried looser, I tried tighter, neither seemed to help.

Size: Small* Never used Product info here https://www.40below.com/products_detail.php?ProductID=12 Pick up in Seattle or I will ship; buyer pays shipping. *I don't know what size ski/climbing boots fit into the "small" size category. These boots were ordered based on a ski boot sole length 296mm, and they fit that boot quite well. A friend of mine ordered the same product to fit a 280mm sole length, and received the same size. She also reports they fit well, so there is obviously some play in the sizing.

sold tent

in response to a few similar PMs: - the tent was purchased new from Hilleberg in March 2013, so it is still less than 1 year old. - I am the original owner - the tent still has only 12 nights of use and is in excellent, like new, condition (stored dark and dry)

bump. $675.

Any current-ish wisdom on the availability/safe functionality of a chemical treatment to apply a dry coating (water repellent coating) to the sheath of a dry rope that no longer acts as a dry rope? I noticed Backcountry.com no longer sells Nikwax Dry Proof...

Hilleberg Keron GT, used 12 nights. In perfect condition. http://www.hilleberg.com/home/products/keron/keron4gt.php (retail $1055, without tax or shipping) This is the ideal 3person extended expedition tent. If you can pick up (Seattle), will also toss in Joel Attaway Forty Below Tent Floor Foam for free (2 pieces, that cover entire floor space) http://www.40below.com/products_detail.php?ProductID=10 (retail $50) Will ship (insured) for $50. The tent is red. PM me any questions, offers, etc.

Thanks for your insights Chris and Quarryographer. If anyone has recs for other places to post this tent, please let me know.

This might be dumb. Whatever. I'm wondering if you (reader) have thoughts on why this tent has not sold. Hilleberg has a good reputation for making solid tents (right?). This one is barely used and being sold at 34% off retail (40% off taxed value) and I never see these things on sale at the big name online retailers. Wrong audience? Price still too high? Wrong time of year? Ad immediately buried by the high traffic of ads on CC? PM me thoughts (or post if you think they are valuabel to the larger community). thnx

What is the string loop on the rear of the BD aspect harness for? I realize one could use it for a chalk bag or as an extra racking loop, but it doesn't seem specifically designed for either of those purposes.

This is a used rope. But used in the sense that it was used to rope up a party of 3 on a single glacier route, on which the rope was never weighted. It looks and handles like a brand new rope. http://www.amazon.com/Sterling-Rope-Marathon-Half-Dry/dp/B003L6JX5S
