Kraken Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 What are some of the best deals you've got on climbing gear? I just bought the Marmot Cwm sleeping bag (rated to -40, 900 fill goose down) for $300 from the Attic at REI. The same bag was retailing there for $700. That's a hell of a deal if I may say so myself. I'll put it to good use this coming spring on Denali. I also got a full rack (6) black diamond turbo express screws for $200 new off of ebay. They came with a locking biner and a BD crampon bag too. Also got BD Vipers for $250 for the pair. Quote
catbirdseat Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Montrail light hikers for $14 at REI Garage Sale three years ago that fit perfectly and which I still use. New B/D Camalot 4.5 for $29 at the REI half-price sale. On the other hand, I've only placed it once so that can't be such a deal. Set of used Aliens at $20 each from a cc.com member. Quote
barjor Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 (edited) Koflach Arctis Expedition F03 for 250$ at http://www.marmotmountain.com Haven't bought them yet but thinking about it. Edited August 23, 2005 by barjor Quote

sweatinoutliquor Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 I also got a full rack (6) black diamond turbo express screws for $200 new off of ebay. They came with a locking biner and a BD crampon bag too. On a similar note this place is selling turbo express for 37 bucks each... Not quite as good as your deal, but I just bought some and was pretty pleased with the price and customer service. Quote
sweatinoutliquor Posted August 29, 2005 Posted August 29, 2005 Oh yeah, I got a set of 45 nice (used but in perfect condition) metolious climbing holds (no jibs or crap) including hardware for a wall in my house for 90 bucks. Now I can't find any that I can afford to finish it off! Ebay... Some dude must have bought them an then never used them. Quote

Kraken Posted September 4, 2005 Author Posted September 4, 2005 i've been too poor lately to afford any of these great deals. BTW, if you haven't already, go over to rockclimbing.com and check out their great deals thread. It's up to 31 pages now of fantastic deals that you can't get anywhere else. I've found some incredible deals through that. Quote
K_Y_L_E Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 I picked up a Black Diamond Fusion Axe for $12 (twelve) back when they still had the REI garage sale. RIP garage sale deals Quote
Bronco Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 One time at band camp I traded a slightly chewed ear of corn for an empty PBR can. Quote
cragish Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 Marmot has used ski rental gear on sale. This afternoon I picked up some K2s that were pretty nice with bindings and boots. Quote
SemoreJugs Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 TNF SALE: I'll be telling the grandkids about that one. ""And there I was little JOhnny... Camalots and Friends were swiped off the racks like the flesh falling off the bone at a pig roast. Dirtbags from all walks of climbing had glimmers of hope in their eye. Alpinists could finally buy that fancy pair of approach shoe. Tradsters could afford that #6 Camalot to protect the offwidth pitches up in the enchanments. Sporties bought their super-thin, sticky, hooker slippers and prana attire... For all was 75% off retail!!! And me? I bought my first mountaineering boot for $56.25. And now I'm giving them to you... That reminds me, your father was concieved while I was wearing these boots. we'd just returned to the car from another epic trip. I was horny as a goat. And your grandmother was still wearing her harness as I bent her over the hood... Thank the stars for droppable leg-loops..."" Quote
SemoreJugs Posted September 11, 2005 Posted September 11, 2005 PRodeals from industry friends... Priceless! Quote
