Anything left?

Your CL ad is no longer available. Do you have any 10 cm screws to sell?

Oo, sorry I didn't see this sooner. YES, I still have it. I'm sending you a PM with my Paypal ID.

You can blend it off in your car's gasoline tank. Just pour in a pint or so then fill with gasoline as usual. It won't hurt anything (Source - I was Texaco's Mgr of Fuel Tech Support). In the winter you can up that to a quart per tankful. If you'd rather use it in something like a lawn mover, you can go as high as 1:4 Coleman:gasoline.

New in the original package. Cascade B rated pick for the first gen. Quarks and Ergo Quarks. Does NOT fit Nomic or new Quark. Hard to find any more, but here's one for less than original retail. Only regret is I don't have a pair to sell you. $35 + 5 for US shipping. Canadian shipping by quote.

Hey, on the off chance there's anyone still using first generation Quarks (or the Ergo Quarks) and needs new picks - you know that none of the Petzl tools use the same pick and that the original (Cascade) picks are all but unavailable anywhere. Well with a bit of work (one hole to drill and 2 minutes with a hacksaw) you can fit CAMP Awax picks to the Quark. They are a perfect match for pick length and angle and, being a smaller cross section, they penetrate ice "like buttah". I removed the hammer from my Quark, and don't miss it, but if you're a machinist I imagine you could mill out the Awax pick to allow the hammer/adze to stay in place. Best part - the Awax picks are still in stock at CAMP/Cassin and are selling for $15. At that price how can you not give it a try?

As others have said, for freeheel skiing in Silvretta just don't lock the heel down. But I took it one step further - since I basically only need a nordic-style ski for fire road approaches to ice climbs, I didn't even mount the heel pieces. There's your weight savings!

Partner left it on the roof of the car. It's an Elph in a ratty black case. Modest reward. Pls reply to this same post on mountainproject if you find it, as I don't come to this site as often. Hell, I don't go to ANY site as often as I'm on mtproj!

Thread Revival... are you still looking for Woodpeckers? I know someone who will be looking to sell his pair fairly soon (i.e. as soon as he decides what his next tool will be).

Maybe it's too long because you tend to repeat yourself. (Sorry, trying to be funny. Sux that you can't post it)

Just to update - the ice season is DONE in the NE.

The Ice Hawk, perhaps? http://www.cascadedesigns.com/msr/history

First legal climb perhaps. But it has been climbed before by people I know.

I think Smiley's got bought out by Omega Pacific. OP made screws for a while that looked a lot like the old Smiley's screws. Just to keep this history going... those older OPs had the worst plating I've ever seen. It would flake off and the roughness if left behind made the screws signif. more difficult to screw in. No amount of emery cloth polishing seemed to fix it. Then they switched to the gold hanger design, and the problem went away. This was about the time that folks were ditching their BD screws for the faster-starting Grivel 360s so the gold OPs went unloved. They left the market at $30 a piece which was a screaming good deal because they were every bit as good as the BDs. Better in fact that the BD Turbos. And then along came the silver hanger BDs and the pendulum swung back.

Given your oh-so-certain but 100% INCORRECT response, your sig line is particularly appropriate.
