  4. 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.
  5. i lost one of my G14 crampons, looking for a (cheap/free?) right-foot crampon. thanks!
  6. 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

  8. worn twice, in good shape. this is an older model, when the leather was still very soft and wrapped around the palm. asking $30, local (seattle) pick-up preferred. otherwise $5 to ship. from manufacturer: INTENDED USAGE: Warm, dexterous all-mountain glove for cold, dry conditions Soft shell stretch fabric construction Wind resistant, weather resistant, highly breathable Thermal wool blend lining for warmth and durability Wrap-around leather palm Anatomical curve; boxed construction 3-panel thumb Elasticized wrist Hook/loop tab gauntlet adjustment Avg. weight: 4.6 oz./129 g (Size Medium, per pair) small scuffs on one of the palms:
  9. very nice pictures, Loomis. thanks for the recent reports!
  10. bump! i'm selling the boots b/c i only wore them once last season, and i don't feel like collecting gear
  11. bump! the temps are dropping! price lowered to $150, will take reasonable offers!
  12. nice report! glad you weren't too bothered by the light sprinkling and a chilly night. you are a hardbaby! wanna go ice climbing sometime?
  13. wow, great report, AWESOME shots! love this one: can't wait for the end to my non-climbing season!
  14. 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. Made from 420d nylon for durability, the Sphynx features side compression straps, PickPocket™ ice tool holders and a clean crampon patch for lashing down your points. Its 20-millimeter aluminum stay, ergo-molded foam back panel, and padded waistbelt provide a comfortable carry with heavy loads.
