Will those approach skis work for a small person? I'd say under 150lbs with pack and boots and gear. I wear a men's size 8.5 boot. If they'll work, I'll take 'em!

STP has the Wraith: Wraith Coupon codes abound. PM me if you want a single use 20% off code that expires 8/31.

Just spotted this one on a paddling forum: http://boatertalk.com/gear/gear-detail.php?gid=71740

A sad day for one gear whore is a good day for another. I'd like to buy the Grivel umbilicals, the v-threader, the screw roll and the Petzl Ice Clippers. How much to ship to NY? I can do Paypal or money order. Kathy

What size are the Gore-tex socks?

Ask your wife if she thought these were narrow, wide or average. I wear a 9 narrow and could use a new pair of approach shoes. Kathy

Hi Jon, A colleague of mine is intersted in your boots, and can offer $300 and arrange to meet you for pickup. He tried getting an account here, but it's not working. If you send me your contact info, I'll get you two guys in touch. Did we climb together at Devil's Kitchen one day this winter with MikeR? Kathy

Here's a pair just got posted: http://neice.com/classifieds/showproduct.php/product/1816

I'll take 'em if PeakDream doesn't. Kathy

How much to ship those to NY? I could really use those. Kathy

Thanks for the info, folks! What about local guide services? I won't have my own partner for this trip. Couldn't talk any of them into going. Kathy

A dear friend of mine is getting married in Field, BC the first weekend in October. I am planning to go and would like to make a vacation out of it since I'll be flying all the way from the east coast. So, I'm wondering what the climbing is like in the area that time of year? Too cold, but too early for ice season? My preference is for multipitch trad routes, 5.8 and under, but would consider other options in the same grade range. What areas should I be looking at? Are there guide services in the area? I'm planning to rent a car. Any suggestions are appreciated. Kathy

I'll take 6 of the "other biners" for $1.50 each plus whatever is the cheapest shipping method you can find (probably 1st class padded mailer.). The ovals and old D's are fine. Send me a PM with your contact info. Kathy

There's a Bibler Eldorado at the bottom of this list: http://www.ime-usa.com/ime/ricksDeal.php Kathy

I used a pair for a day for waterfall ice climbing. They're light and swing well, but are hard to clean from the ice. Really hard. Had me wishing for my heavier but more user-friendly Quarks. Dunno if they can be tuned to clean easier. I'm told the handles can get very cold because the rubber grip does not go all the way around the handle. The pair I borrowed had added grip tap, and I didn't have an issue with them being cold, but it was not bitterly cold that day.

These guys say they will continue to stock Grivel stuff in the US: http://www.mountaineer.com/
