Well, that was a rich response.

Mark, shoot me a text or ring me; I still have two sets of .75 through 3's available. The ones remaining are 100% unplaced and the biners are new, as well. The smaller stuff (except for the TCUs) and the #4 and #5 are gone. The Big Bro #2 is still available. I have all the gear in my car and will be out and about this evening, so perhaps I can swing by the area you're in. 206-372-2153 Spiderman, didn't your momma ever tell you "If you don't have anything intelligent to say, keep your mouth shut."? To categorically comment as you have shows how naive you are. I sold all but 8 of cams before you even posted your dumb ass comment. I seriously doubt those three folks I sold my gear to are somehow lacking in judgment or intelligence, considering all were close to twice my age and have "been around the mountain" a few times. I would climb with those three gentlemen any day. They aren't idiots. As described, the gear is literally unused, save for the ones that have already been purchased and their use was extremely light. I'm not an asshole. A quick look in good light, up close, confirms the condition I have described. I'm simply trying to recoup my loss on a type of climbing my wife and I no longer wish to pursue. If you choose not to purchase my gear because of your precious feelings, by all means, go back to endlessly perusing and commenting on cc.com instead of doing something constructive with your words.

Now's your chance to save some cash on cams! No sales tax, no shipping, save a few bucks on each one, AND get a free BD or Wild Country biner with each one! Wow, I sound like a salesman. But seriously, folks... Selling a bunch of these guys: http://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en-us/shop/climb/protection/camalottm We've got a TON of Camalots that my wife and I have decided we're just not going to use. We gave the trad climbing thing a try on our honeymoon (Moab and Red Rocks) that we just returned from and have decided we'd rather just stick to sport climbing and spend the money on a motorcycle instead. We have all the receipts and we even have most of the original tags. Some were bought on Amazon through various vendors who had the best deal at the time, and a few were from Mountain Gear/other websites. Again, we have all the receipts and you can take them with you. Obviously we can't return any climbing gear, even though 85% of these cams have been purchased in the last 4-6 weeks. I have 3 full racks of Camalots from itty bitty to #5, a few more in random sizes, a pair of Metolius tri-cams, and a Big Bro #2. Let me know if you're interested in specific ones and I can tell you what I have left in "inventory". Most have only been racked up and never placed...and again, most have only been hanging on a harness for a few hours during our honeymoon. No falls on anything, except for the one #5 I have...that one I've had for 3 years and it's had been "weighted" a few times - we are both just too scared to "push it" on the trad "sharp end" anymore. It was a fun trip and a good realization to come to before anyone got hurt; we just both feel much safer appreciating the simple joys of sport climbing vs the trad type. Buying the whole lot would certainly be ideal for me and a sweeter deal for you, as I wouldn't have to spend extra effort selling just a cam or two to a whole bunch of people, so I would knock some money off the whole kit. However, this is probably an unlikely scenario. If you're interested in the whole kit, I think $1500 would be the figure (add it up yourself). The prices for buying one cam in each of the sizes listed below INCLUDES A RACKING CAM (around $6-$7 each), and almost every single one is brand new/never even been scratched (mostly BD Neutrinos, color matches, but a few Metolius FS Mini biners and a few Wild Country Astros). This is what I have: BD Camalots, mostly brand new 2013 stock (a few 2011 or 2012 ones that have been drug around the Cascades, but never or rarely placed): (1) #5 $80 including a biner (retail is $110, without a biner) (1) #4 $70 including a biner (retail is $85, without a biner) (3) #3 $60 each, including a biner (retail is $70, without a biner) (4) #2 $60 each, including a biner (retail is $70, without a biner) (5) #1 $55 each, including a biner (retail is $65, without a biner) (4) #.75 $50 each, including a biner (retail is $60, without a biner) (4) #.5 $50 each, including a biner (retail is $60, without a biner) (2) #.4 $50 each, including a biner (retail is $60, without a biner) (1) #.3 $50 including a biner (retail is $60, without a biner) plus 1 each Metolius TCU 00 and 4 (http://www.metoliusclimbing.com/tcu.html), retail is $60/each, will sell for $45/each That's 27 cams total, at the moment, plus I have one Big Bro #2, unused/never placed (http://www.trango.com/Protection/big%20bro) that we bought for $94, will sell for $80, already strung with 5mm tech cord I bought at Pagan Mountaineering while in Moab. Again, all cams are sold with a BD Neutrino or Wild Country 'biner, color coded for racking. $1500 for the whole lot, or come pick through what you want...

Jeff, where are you located? I'm in Lake Forest Park. Would like to meet up tonight or this weekend to go through what you have remaining. I have cash. Leaving for Moab in 13 days; need to fill up the war chest for my crack battles. Text me if that's easier: 206-372-2153

I forgot to add that I posted 4 pictures. Two stock ones of the rope itself, and 2 screenshots of the email confirmation from climbhigh.com. Just bought the rope April 5th and received it April 11th. Literally uncoiled (carefully) and fiddled around with for 15 minutes.

Edelweiss Energy ARC Bi-Pattern 9.5mm x 70m Everdry Rope for sale. Uncoiled and used on TWO lead routes at Vertical World (Seattle). It's just too skinny for my wife and I. She's 128lbs and I'm 198 and we just have too much of a disparity for her strength. Going back to a New England glider 10.2 new rope for our trip to Moab in two weeks. As a matter of a fact, I can't say that I would rule out a trade for another rope. $240 for this one (this is a 70m, not 60m like REI sells), but I got 20% off and free shipping. Happy to pass it along to a fellow climber and let it go for $190 cash or Paypal. Just bought the rope April 5th and received it April 11th. Literally uncoiled (carefully) and fiddled around with for 15 minutes. I'm at the VW gym in Seattle 5 nights a week, so if you're local, we can meet there and you can play with it or even climb on it to test. If I can't sell it, I'll probably just keep it as a tag line.

I just bought an Axios 50 from this guy two weeks ago. Fast shipping. He still has old stock of the 2010/2011 (I think) Miura 50, according to his site. Small operation back east. Good luck. http://goinggear.com/packs/outdoor/backpacks?manufacturer=109

Hi there. I'm in Seattle. Send me a payment request (Paypal) to blaineskis@gmail.com and I'll buy them right now. Going to Moab in a week and need them here by next Thursday.

So sorry for the slow reply, hofeling68. I'm new here and thought I'd get an email ping if there was a post. They are still available. PM me your cell? How do you want to go about meeting up to try them on?

Purchased October 2011; worn once at Muir for a few days and kickin' around Mazama on Christmas day in 2' of powder. They really haven't even seen dirt...mostly in snow, or in a tent. Not sure how anyone sells these at a whopping $535, but somehow they can: https://www.google.com/search?q=evo+nepal+gore+tex&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a#q=evo+nepal+gore+tex&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbo=u&tbm=shop&source=og&sa=N&tab=wf&ei=YzgPT7f_MKXaiQL6htHWDQ&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.,cf.osb&fp=a7e335efb9265e18&biw=1280&bih=637 REI has them for $475; I'll sell for $400 cash (only, if in person) obo. I don't mind shipping, if you don't live in Seattle, but unless you want to do the "you mail me check, I deposit check, confirm clearance, then mail you boots" dance, I suggest PayPal. If we do the PayPay/I ship route, you'll pay PayPal fees so I end up with net $400, and you'll pay for whatever speed of shipping you desire, and yes, they'll be insured. Local pickup, of course, preferred. Yes, you're welcome to kick around in them. THEY DO NOT HAVE INSOLES. Stupidly, perhaps, I chucked the original crappy ones and put in http://www.rei.com/product/721632/sole-ed-viesturs-signature-series-custom-footbed-high-volume, for myself. No insoles are included, so bring your own custom or aftermarket insoles or orthotics if you wish to get a true idea of how they fit. PM me if you're serious. I'm in no hurry, just had a change of heart and can't return them. I'm getting a pair of lighter weight/less overkill Salewas for the kind of mountaineering I really do.
