Green and yellow Aliens for me. Also, my Feathered Friends Rock Wren bag. It's delicious!

Just be aware that any surface-applied wax (I use Sno-Seal) will severely impair breathability.

If you take Paypal, I will take the following: Camp 8mm 60 cm sling- brand new. x2- 7 bucks EACH Camp orbit quickdraw- brand new x2- 10.00 EACH Sending you a PM.

sent you a PM on the jacket. I'll take it.

They're not going for that much, even on eBay.

After an unfortunate moment of forgetfulness, I lost my green and yellow aliens this past weekend and I really need to fill in that hole in my rack. I would also be interested in the other small sizes (Black up through Red) because I'd like to double up if possible. I'm not explicitly looking for offsets, but I'll certainly consider them as well. Please PM me if you have some you would like to sell. And my final request, I'm well aware of the failures and dodgy QC so I pull test all my Aliens, including the ones I'm hoping to buy, before I climb on them, so please lets keep the chatter to a minimum and help me find some new gear!

I've got about 4-5 Ice Screams that I'm looking to sell. Barely used - no fraying or damage or anything. $12 each. Interested?

Payment sent for the Trango Primes!

Kathy, sent you a PM with my e-mail address. That was me!

Yup, eVent was discontinued in tents (by law) due to its abysmal fire retardancy. It goes up faster than a bucket of gasoline. Regarding the Tenshi, I would have bought it years ago if it was just a little longer. It looks absolutely fantastic in every respect, except 1. Both my partner and I are about 6'2" and the Tenshi is about 6' long. That means a soaked sleeping bag at the head and feet from condensation as the sleeping bag is smushed up against the walls, not to mention a lack of comfort and inability to sprawl. Just something to think about if you're a tall dude. If they had a version that was 6'6" (or ideally 7') I would buy it in a hearbeat.

More importantly, they're learning how to save their own butts if they go for the big ride. Self-rescue is the most important skill in the mountains!

I'm 99% sure I saw it in the Campmor (NJ) store this season so you might try their website. www.campmor.com But seriously, that thing costs something ridiculous like $40. Just make your own. It takes 8-10 minutes, seriously. http://xray.bmc.uu.se/markh//climbing/iceclip.html

Broke a BD Clipper a couple weeks ago. Had a tool hanging in it and it snagged on rappel and twisted - snapped the clipper instantly. Luckily I was able to get the tool back before descending any further. I went home and made two of the DIY "Simond" clippers that RHYANG linked to about 2 posts up and so far, I think they're great.

Picked up a pair of La Sportiva Nepal Evo's in size 44.5, but they're a hair too small for me - my toes bump the front. Would really love to trade them for a 45 or 45.5. I will also sell them for $325. Add $15 for shipping if you're not local to NJ/NY. They're in FANTASTIC shape, very lightly used, and no damage at all. Just some surface scuffs. Even the rubber "nubbin" texture is still there on the sole. They come with the original box and packaging and the velcro spare ankle cuffs - just like new! Pics available for serious buyers, but no tire kickers please.

Sent you a PM, I'll take it.

Those are damn snazzy looking. Meet BD's price and I'll be in for a pair.

Payment sent for 2 shorties and 2 neutrinos. Thanks Jeff!

I've heard bad things about hockey tape. Namely that it's absorptive, and therefore, likely to freeze up. CXycling bar tape would be a good idea, but it's pretty fragile - it's just thin cork. Definitely not up to being bashed around bulges, cauliflowers, etc. I've heard very good things about this tape though: http://www.duluthtrading.com/store/departments/tools-shop/quick-fixes-and-repair/96825.aspx Insulative, super tacky and grippy, waterproof, very strong and abrasion resistant. It's widely favored on my local ice board (NEice.com - the east coast equivalent of CC.com).

Great imagery!

Eddie Bauer is selling off a ton of outerwear, including the Peak XV parka that Dane loves so much. Happy consumerism! http://www.eddiebauer.com/EB/Men/Sale/Sale-Outerwear/index.cat

Great store... just picked up new Vipers and Cyborg Pro from them.

Still for sale.

I have nothing against BD (I climb on their tools, crampons, screws, cams, and stoppers) but I think if everyone called up their local independent gear shops and asked them to price match BD, they would be happy to. BD already made a handsome profit selling the gear to the shop, might as well cut the local shop owners in on some of the fun. Especially as it probably wouldn't cost you a single extra dollar. I'm sure they'd be grateful for the business.

PM Sent on a couple of the 13's and 16's

Any interest in a great price on a LS Nuptse 45.5? Look here: http://cascadeclimbers.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/939148/Re_FS_FT_Sportiva_Nuptse_size_#Post939148
