  1. Old-school snow shovel. Rare metal blade that doubles as snow anchor and fits the shaft of your ice axe. Great for the fast and light enthusiasts or add to your collection of antique gear.

     

    $40 plus shipping. Local delivery preferred.

    Another antique: a pair of crampons. $20 plus shipping and I'll throw in the sweet fanny pack.

  2. If you are going to use my name at least get it right. Hows it going Wes?

     

    My first experience on skis was with silvretta's and mountaineering boots. Major suckage!

     

    nice - saw you as you cruised on by - us bi-peds had to be content to smoke cigs and kevetch at the top of the palmer before descending to get a decent drunk on :)

     

    So I take it that you still haven't figured out how to use the AT setup that Rbw1963 and I set you up with ... keep on mushin'

     

    :brew:

  3. Dude, no the Mason thing wasn't a joke. It is a bit bigger back east. We call them ring knockers, and I have straight up had a 1st Sergeant come in and say that if you aren't a Mason you will not be a Platoon Sergeant in his company.

     

    Granted, it was a while ago, but when I was in the Army a 'ringknocker' was a west point grad. And I never heard one single mention of masons the entire time I was in.

  4. Cleaning out my basement and came across some old crampons with leather straps. Light service rust. $20 and a 6-pack of Jubel. Local pick up only as its not worth the hassle of trying to ship them.

     

    I also have the upper halves to two BD traverse poles (old models). Free to local pick up.

     

    Sorry, no pics.

     

    I live in Sellwood and work downtown. I can also meet somewhere in Portland but that might cost you a beer or two.

     

  5. Basement cleaning sale!

     

    Everything must go! All prices do NOT include shipping. If its still listed, its still for sale.

     

    No reasonable offer refused!

     

    I'm in Portand

     

     

     

    Used climbing skins, trimmed to fit K2 Mt. Bakers that are around 180 in length. $20

  6. I've got some old skins that are cut for Mt. Bakers that I'll let you have for 20 plus shipping or you can pick them up. I believe they are around 88mm under the boot.

     

  7. The insuance company has a year from the policy effective date to find out if you are a climber, amateur pilot or any other dangerous profession/hobby. After that time, all of your "dangerous" hobbies are covered. So if you can answer NO to those questions with a straight face and clean conscience you'll probably be ok.

     

    This is NOT true. They have 2 (two) years in which to uncover any misrepresentations. This is true in WA as well as OR. Should you die during that two-year period and the insurer uncovers any misrepresentations, your beneficiaries receive nothing.

     

    When I bought my policy, I told them the truth: that I 'was' a climber but had stopped climbing. The specific language the insurance company used was 'roped' climbing (apparently unroped climbing was cool). After two years I started climbing again, albeit sporadically.

     

    Think long and hard about what you say when applying for life insurance. If you are turned down, or make any misrepresentations that result in being turned down, you go into a database that other companies check when you apply elsewhere.
