  1. Pair of Grivel Matrix Tech ice tools (both hammers). I'd estimate they have +-20 days on ice. Some scuffs, etc. as you'd expect. Great tool, no complaints, just getting ready to move and have more tools than I need. First "I'll take it" gets them. Thanks for looking! $210 shipped
  2. I haven't owned an MK3 but have been in one a few times. In response to your questions...it is super easy to set up, design is excellent--way more comfortable than the Eldorado in my opinion and the venting system is relatively effective. I personally think the MK3 is among the best in it's class.
  3. The Edelrid Kite fits your criteria as well. I've been very happy with my ca. 2010 Edelrid 9.4.
  4. This might fill your med wt. hoody requirement: Mammut Yukon Tech
  5. Cold Cold World Ozone for sale. Used but great condition--see photos below. This was originally Dane's and has a few mods from Randy at CCW. Namely a bar-tacked buckle strap and the clip set back inside the lid. Great pack, just don't need it anymore. I've since had a couple of other CCW packs tailored to my liking. $50 shipped
  6. Outdoor Research Megaplume (Pertex Endurance), black, size large (cut big, belay style). Like new, used a couple of days. Great belay or big mountain jacket. Info here. Retail was $300. $90 shipped
  7. The Fast/Light is an awesome pant; I have two pairs and I'll get more if they're still in production when I wear 'em out.
  8. BigSky

    helmet

    The Camp Armour is light to moderate weight-wise (340g) while still feeling like a real helmet. Not expensive and there are a few good color options--it's pretty tough to beat for $48 in my opinion.
  9. Rab Vapour Rise Lite Tour gets it done--one of my absolute favorites.
  10. Women's Teva sandals, size 7 (model: S/N 1360). Good condition. $10 shipped
  11. Mammut New Age Jacket, orange, large. Used, good condition. Shows a couple of minor dirt streaks and light use. Schoeller Dryskin Extreme with 3XDry treatment. $75 shipped
  12. Agree the sarken frontpoints are too long for WI. I'd roll with the Sabretooths and develop your tastes more with that experience.
  13. Hard to find the Thru Hiker anymore since the buyout. Rab Latok Alpine if you're long armed, Westcomb Cruiser or Specter LT if you're not.
  14. The Montane Lite Speed is excellent as well. Montane doesn't get enough love in my opinion. Anyone else had good experiences w/ Montane wind layers?
  15. Not quite $100, but a lot of jacket for $140. It's kind of a tweener at 100g m^2 but could take you into spring and fall conditions with ease.
  16. Psychological calories don't cut it for me personally. My favorites are sausage or salami, cheese, home-made granola, and Hammer Perpetuem if the situation is right.
  17. They don't inspire confidence upon installation, but do seem to hold up (so far).
  18. Some of the lighter Rab gaiters are nice. I've used OR croc's, verglas, and flex-tex too. For use with trail shoes the Flex Tex's are awesome. Fit has a lot to do with my preferences, and the Verglas have the same cut as the OLD croc's which works for me.
  19. I've used both and if Kayland fits your foot well, either would be great. I currently climb in the Hyper Tractions and would not hesitate to suggest them for the conditions you mentioned. They are definitely a bit warmer and while slightly stiffer, not uncomfortable at all for approaches. They are a good deal at $400 too.
  20. If you can find a Golite Ion it's a great leader pack for me.
