bump? Anybody want to trade for a sz 43.5 or 43?

I bought these online, unfortunately they are a little too large for me. They have been used ONCE at Planet Granite so they are still in great condition. Located in Portland, near Mult Village. Can arrange a meeting spot if that works. Text or call 503-799-7141 Cheers http://www.outdoorgearlab.com/Climbing-Shoes-Reviews/La-Sportiva-Katana

Hi ya'll. I've got too much stuff, and a move coming up soon. Might as well sell what isn't being used very often. Much of this is Denali, or 8000m peak gear, as well as odds and ends collected over the last couple of years. Either free pick up, or you pay for the shipping and pay via paypal. Please email me at hockettw@gmail.com as I am not checking CC. Mountain Hardware Compressor Pants -$90 sz L Used, but pretty damn good condition. Have been repaired a few times.

This is probably the wrong season to sell these. But bumping the price down a bit.

Stay cozy in this sucker. Marmot Col, includes the Membrain coating which is noticable. Makes the bag a bit more breathable, and water resistant. In the event you sleep outside one night. Looks exactly like this: http://www.rei.com/product/795901/marmot-col-membrain-20-sleeping-bag-#specsTab This is a right zip, and the long version fitting climbers in the 6' and up range. $400 Please email at whockett@pdx.edu

I have a pair of La Sportiva Spantiks. Nothing like a pair of handmade leather shoes. These have been on 3 trips, the only wear is aesthetic and not functional. Have many years of cold climbing left in them. I also have a pair of 40 Below Overboots if desired. Sz 45.5 $375 pictures: http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/spo/4707639226.html please email hockettw@gmail.com

a hot day for spantiks

Pm sent on helmet..

In limited experience I have found the black and white screens to have significantly better battery life.

I had to change the size on mine. Anybody need a Mountain Hardwear size large hip belt? Hopefully, I won't be needing it anytime soon. I'll trade it for beer, or a set of BD regular length cramp-on bars.

In the 50-100 dollar range. Preferably with a black and white screen. The 62 series are great. If you have a chance to use the new Delorme PN 60 it's a fun tool. With some fancy bells and whistles built in.

If anybody wants to sell a handheld GPS unit I am in need of one. I have used the Garmin Etrex line, but am open to other suggestions. Just need simple features; ability to establish waypoints, paths.

When the child is real little their waist is so small that the harness doesn't 'lock' down above the illiac crest. The fear is that if they flipped backwards there's a chance they could slip out of the harness. Hard to have happen, but ya never know. That's why a chest harness or a full body can be necessary with the lil guys and gals.

I have a pair of Asolo Evoluzione boots that I should get rid of http://www.moosejaw.com/moosejaw/shop/product_Asolo-AFS-Evoluzione-Boot_10002663_10208_10000001_-1_?cm_mmc=CSE-_-GoogleBase-_-na-_-Asolo-AFS-Evoluzione-Boot&ad_id=GoogleBase I have to check the size, they may be 13's.

Hi, Anybody have a hangboard they're interested in selling? Will

I'd plan for the cold, and hope for the warmth. I've found October weather can change quick.

I gave the J-Park a go on Wednesday night (9/22). Just a quick conditions update for ya... Went straight up the middle to 9200 feet. The bridges were sphincter tightening, but the snow was steep and solid. The first Bergschrund can be passed on the climbers left through a patch of snow that shows some signs of rock fall. We didn't do this, instead going directly through the first berschrund zone. This is around 8800 ft if I remember correctly. The second bergschrund is where we met our match. It is possible that another team, with a different skill set can still make it up and through. There's a wall of solid glacier ice, with a snow cornice overhanging the top. It looked like you might be able to traverse it all the way left to negotiate around the cornice. I gave it a try, but no luck. I don't know if it goes, but it might be possible to get onto the rock ridge on climbers right and traverse above this upper problem. There is a pretty big moat/ice/rock chute on this side but there could be a bridge across. It was a solid hike, fun times, but no summit. So it goes...

The Petzl lit rates the Meteor helmet between -4 deg F and 95 deg F. Does anybody know how the foam behaves outside this temperature range?
