nice. any pics of denman?

congrats, all! should make "top 5" of 2013!

yep. i've been climbing on G14s with petzl bails for two years. they fit my baturas and trango extremes much better. never had any problems.

i lost one of my G14 crampons, looking for a (cheap/free?) right-foot crampon. thanks!

wow, i love the variety! i didn't climb much this year, but most trips were quite memorable. death picnic (x2) ... a bunch of skiing around alpental (let's count that as 2 also, so i can keep with the "top 5" math) ... mother's day st helens ski while 7 months pregnant

looks super fun! thanks for posting!

great, gently used pack. never took it rock climbing, only on snow and ice. there are no abrasions or rips. the pack has a few dirt spots (see pictures) but no structural damage! the pack has awesome mounts for headless tools (fusions, nomics) AND fixed straps for skis (fit my k2 phat luv and had some room to spare). asking $70 OBO i'm in seattle. ************* With a low-profile design and clean lines, the Sphynx has enough room for a full quiver of ice gear.
