Bronco Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Looks like Jim's retiring: http://www.promountainsports.com I liked going in there as he always had the latest and lightest stuff and talk gear. Feels like the end of an era with the independent climbing shops closing down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Well good for Jim and well, not so good for connoisseurs of climbing gear. You certainly can't just go to REI to get what JIm has been selling....especially the advice, but also the thoughtful selection of quality gear. Thanks Jim, for your support of Cascadeclimber.com over the years, your support came in many forms. For instance, helping me get the Guzzler to do a slide show one year for Ropeup. I'm sure you'll be glad to be done with the rat race and spend more up in the Methow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 I went in and visited Jim yesterday. Definitely get in there and help a friend close out his business. Really good deals on some great quality equipment. Western Mountaineering sleeping bags, Montbell stuff, the usual great selection but at going out of business prices. It was good to see him! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIght be when he feels he has sold enough of the inventory? IDK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
