Some one at Alpinist has a hard-on for them: http://www.alpinist.com/doc/web10s/ms-kl-camp-radion-ice-screw I just stick with my BD Express screws cause its not my ice screws that prevent me from climbing hard ice...

Cams are spoken for. Everything else still for sale.

Or at least climb places that have solid rock!

Some gear closet cleaning, some schwag from the PDX Ice Fest: #3 and #5 Metolius Fat Cams: $15 each Placed a handful of times. Replaced with C4s but they're a cheap/easy way to bulk up a new/skinny rack. BD Ice ScrewUp: $10 Never used it. I just keep the caps and screw condoms on them, but some folks love these things and swear by them/at me for not using one. Pair of BD Android Leashes: $30 Who still climbs with leashes? You do! So you need a pair. Just in case. If you are an old school hardman that still climbs on leashes (Wayne?) you can have them for free. Grivel Trigger 1 Large, 1 Small: Free (locals) or shipping (non-locals) Ended up with these along with a bunch of beer holsters from the ice fest. If you have a use for them, they're all yours. I'm in Portland; buyer pays shipping.

Chad, will it be finished before or after the Cosley-Houston comes in?

Just don't post your home address or these same monkeys will show up begging for a lap or two after they've called the inspectors on you.

Woah, woah, woah. This is the internets, don't get carried away.

You could just bike out there like I'm gonna do. RB sketchy high schoolers be warned, I have sharp pointy things this time around. See you folks out there tonight!

How late are you gonna stick around for tomorrow?

It's beer-thirty already?

This is from Wayne's site: When ever the new guidebook is released, there are topos and high res photos of the face for your reading pleasure. Do post up here conditions that you find and any photos you get; info is scarce and greatly appreciated.

I'll second the Bozeman Ice Fest as a great way to get your feet wet. For an hour more driving you can end up in the Canadian Rockies, where instead of 30 m routes you get 300 m routes of all grades.

We can gladly deliver Graham MCing in his wall creeper sporting the jihad beard... for the appropriately sized donation of course Bring your dollar bills! We're raising money! Are you saying that we get to stuff the dollar bills into his SuperSnuggie?

Beer and pointy metal things! Hell yeah! Thanks for organizing this beast again, John.

Tools are sold. Thanks folks.

Yeah, but I hear that it takes 10 years for it to come into condition.

I'm a big fan of the Mammut Phoenix half ropes. The dry treatment actually works well and they're just thick enough to inspire some confidence in them. Considering switching to single+tag line for mixed stuff specifically because it cuts down on tomfoolery and slop in the system a lot. Used that set up with the Mammut Serenity alpine cragging on Illumination Rock and liked it quite a bit.

Its almost winter in the Canadian Rockies. Sharpen your ice tools and get driving.

I'll second Strobach. It has some good stuff that comes in regularly. The approach takes about 2 hours and isn't that bad (hardly any bushwhacking). Everything from WI3 to 5+/6, mostly single pitch stuff.

Details?

*bump* Still up for sale.

Student. Loans.

New Quarks & new Nomics. Have you seen them? Nothing but sexy plus all the same pick types now. Also a chalk bucket, but that's for John making us deadhang all the damn time.
