Oops, forgot that part. $80, negotiable.

$80 for a One-of-a-kind Fingerboard Training unit! Complete custom frame means no holes in the wall. Train on your porch or backyard and stay strong this winter! Metolius Simulator #1 best seller of Fingerboards for years. Unique frame breaks down into 3 pieces for storage/transport, approx 7 feet tall when assembled and sturdy. An injury has forced me out of climbing for now so this is no longer useful for me, but a few minutes a day on this kit will make you a crusher of stone! More pics on request

SOLD

You've all seen this post already, but really...No one digs small gear?! These C3s are THE SHIT!! And at least a few bucks cheaper than what you'll get them for at the shop. Holla small fingers!!!!

This bird dog is not long for this earth. Otherwise I'd send him your way!

I was thoroughly wrecked in a ground fall a little over a year ago. Despite my best intentions, I'll no longer be able to climb like I did before, not even close. What I can do instead is paddle so I'm hocking climbing gear to feed a new rat. Some of this stuff is brand new, never been placed. Other items have been up and down the mountain many times.

This seems like one of the few areas people go and have an AMAZING time not reaching their initial goals. Instead they succeed in a completely new and compelling way. What a huge payoff just being in a beautiful place that so few will ever see and sometimes these high camps make the trip when the gear has to stay in the pack. I think it's one of the more interesting aspects of Alpinism to find such satisfaction in "plan B". Much respect to you two for putting in major work in a big snow year up there. BTW Jeff, that helmet looks way sexier on you than it ever did on me.

Garmin 60CSx. THE Mountaineer's GPS. Altimeter, barometer, base maps, pc downloadability, mega water resistant, extended battery life, light. Purchased for Cascade Volcano white-outs, better than a wand! Used a dozen times, no scratches or damage. $160. Black Diamond Mercury Mittens. Bought for a Patagonia trip, but never used. Not a scratch on 'em. A serious cold weather glove. Size says M's S, but I'm a med/large for most other brands so I'm not sure what the size scheme is at BD. $50 Linky for description

It's already a pretty good deal for a rope that's never been on the snow. I usually build in a little negotiating room for items I sell, but this rope is spankin new and retails for $70. Rando Rope

Come on dudes, make me an offer on the remaining goods. Daddy needs some new orthotics!!

Bump. Sale pending on crampons. Make an offer on anything else. I'd rather sell it to bros on cc.com for a little less than douche bags on craigslist for a little more.

I had a major accident back in April and won't be able to climb/ski/run for a loooooooong time. Need to get rid of some gear that won't see use for years if I keep them. Parts of my anatomy are so deformed now some of these things no longer fit. Everything has been stored in plastic totes and kept dry. I've taken good care of my gear after each use though the typical scratches and dents from wear are present. Not sure why some photos are flipped, but I'm too techtarded to investigate. My phone doesn't work well under the trees so PM here or email to japhy14 at msn dot com. All items are in Corvallis, OR. But I make frequent trips to Portland.

The difference between Alpinist and Climbing at my house is that Climbing goes straight to the bathroom and Alpinist never, never leaves the den. Also...props to Wayne for the well-deserved recognition. He's worthy of a bio piece in Alpinist as far as I'm concerned.

Hey J, Long time no see. I was down there last year and can probably provide a little insight and lots of pictures of both Frey (Bariloche granite) and Fitz Roy (Chalten). Torres I only did some trekking as it is a bit more of a hassle to climb there. In Chalten there is a climber's museum (Rolo Garibotti's baby) that has a post-up board for those looking for partners that is pretty successful as a lot of people are just hanging out waiting to climb. Some have had other partners bail or get injured. It is worth the visit for the topos Rolando has constructed from photos, if nothing else. I might be moving to Corvallis in Fall so maybe I should come down and recon the town and we can get together for a beer and chat. In the meantime, you can see some pics here, just scroll to the Patagonia posts. www.buckandpixie.blogspot.com Fuerte y Suerte, James

thanks for the pic Piston, that's exactly why I want to get on that side of the mountain. totally different from the junk show on the trade routes. The degree of commitment helps filter the chaff when seeking online partners as well. Bug you make great points about the online process. Regardless the original goal stated in a partner post, I've ended up meeting cool people and climbing good routes sometimes as training for the bigger objective or sometimes because someone sends a pm and wants to climb something else. Putting yourself out there is the first step, whatever comes of it may very well be good in it's own right. And if you never ask, the answer is always no.

Ever thought about Tahoma Glacier route? 3 days and a little more work, but a beautiful side of the mountain not many people see. I've been trying to do this route for a few years now. A group of four with solid mountain skills would be ideal. I would be down for the Emmons if no one bites on the Tahoma. I would definitely not be interested in the DC. Also, you might have a little more luck posting this in the partners section of the forum.

couldn't agree more. more traffic = clean routes, bring the public. notice i wasn't trying to defend localism by posting all but the gps coordinates.

Koopa crack is on the Romona Falls trail loop, a cool wall that could prolly be much more developed. Not the crag in question, however. It is definitely not Tom,Dick,and Harry. Think more like right behind Dairy Queen in Rhododendron. You get just a glimpse of the wall up the ridge as you pass by. The Rhodie crag has been climbed by Govy inhabitants for decades and they probably appreciate the lack of publication on it's existence...Though the last walk I took up there it looked like it hadn't seen much action lately.

Wow, right from the horses' mouth. Thanks. Maybe one or two moves of .10a. cool position for sure. Loved that climb. Shapps point about the gorge is well taken. A friend and I were talking about Cruel Sister the other day, .10a? Couldn't even finish it on TR the first time. Def harder than Karate Crack.

Orgasmophoria ".10c" on the red wall. Great climb for 5.9, cool weird red rock and long. The first pitch Phantasmagoria is a pretty stout .10b edgefest though.

Hey dudes, We met in the parking lot before heading up on the 13th. I was the soloist going up the north ridge. For those going Down the NR route in the future there is a HUGE cairn (biggest on the whole route) at ca. 10500ft that marks a west descent you can take to get off the ridge early (highly recommended given the lack of quality lower on this route). It leads down to two moves of fourth class and a little bit of loose boulder hopping and puts you on a 45 degree snowfield that leads to the larger snowfield above Lake 7505. I suspect this would take a good hour off the scree hopping required by staying on the ridge proper. What I would really do in the future is set up a car shuttle on the south side and carry over if I did the glacier route. NR sucks all the way except the last 1500 ft. Wish I had known you guys were ccers. I would have asked how the hell you pronounce KaskadskyjKozak, that's been driving me nuts since I started following this website. One more thing, now that you've done it, is the NR worse than the Cascadian?

Donn taught me damn near everything about climbing, and I summited Jefferson last year with Jason. If there are two dudes more capable of dealing with/enduring this situation it is them. Both speak highly of Steph and her tirelessness and degree of focus as well. I wish I could embrace my friends now in their time of need...
