COL._Von_Spanker Posted February 4, 2005 Posted February 4, 2005 (edited) I stumbled across this great find on ebay.

All pitons shown here are new and never used. I discarded all used pitons because they may have been stressed.Your equipment is your life.All pitons are hand hammered iron. Iron is better than steel because steel can be brittle in cold weather.The hammer has been up the sawtooth ridge many climbeS in yosemity and MT WHITNEY" Ebay Rocks EDIT: Added Description Edited February 5, 2005 by COL._Von_Spanker Quote
olyclimber Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 The fun doesn't stop there. Check out the answer to the question posted on his auction: Q: The "waifer" pitons look interesting. Can you send me several detailed photos? I would like some close-ups, side views etc. Thanks, Tom answered on: Feb-04-05 A: I don't remember seeing any name on the hammer. I have packed everything for shiping and don;t want to unpack Quote
sobo Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 Good gawd, hand hammered iron?? How old is that stuff? Might be fun just to hang it on the wall of the cabin, or whip it out in front of a bunch of teenaged gym rats at Smith. Quote
