Geek_the_Greek Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Ok, I have arrived at a career point where I actually need to schedule and write things down. I thought it would be an easy matter to pick up one of those sexy Climbing magazine day planners (what are they actually called? Classic climbs 2006 or something?), so that I too could look like an urban poser in all his glory. BUT NO! The things are bloody hard to find - not PMS, not Feathered Friends, not REI nor Stone Gardens or Vertical World nor MEC (although they're checking and said they'd get back to me), not through the Climbing mag. website. Ok, it's March, but so what? Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

murraysovereign Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 Well, you could have bought one from me, but they're all gone now. In fact, up until a few days ago you could have had one in exchange for a $1.00 donation to the Bolt Fund 'cause we were basically giving them away starting mid-February. But NOOO! You never even thought to ask, did you? I'm hurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek_the_Greek Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 That's what I've heard everywhere - oh, they didn't sell very much, so we gave them away... what, are people so anal that they actually buy their calendars and planners in January?? I wouldn't have expected this from climber-types... Willing to pay good money, dammit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squid Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 If god wanted you to have day planners, he wouldn't have given you Sharpies and a forearm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squid Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 However, if you're willing to pay the premium, I'm working on a sweetMounties[/i] daily planner. Each week has a fresh shot of Mounties sending the sickness, plus a fresh bit of wisdom to help you acheive your alpine goals (sample topics: Coordinating Your Shorts & Polypro, The Truth About Tubular Webbing, Making the Move to Trip Leader, Last Man Standing- How to Choose Who to Eat First).

Geek_the_Greek Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 What I really want is a new picture of AlpineDave every day, sending the sickness as only he can. Can you make me one?? Ok, panic averted. Twelve phone calls later, I found one on calendars.com. Please continue with your regular programming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murraysovereign Posted February 28, 2006 Share Posted February 28, 2006 (edited) That's what I've heard everywhere - oh, they didn't sell very much, so we gave them away... what, are people so anal that they actually buy their calendars and planners in January?? I wouldn't have expected this from climber-types... Actually, they sold pretty well, so we ordered more, and those sold pretty well also. But by late January we were still looking at a few left-overs that probably weren't going to sell, so we tore the back covers off to return for credit, and gave them away in exchange for donations. But yeah, most people buy them before New Year's, and certainly before the end of February. I'll have more coming sometime in October or November, if you don't mind waiting Edited February 28, 2006 by murraysovereign Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geek_the_Greek Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 http://www.climbing.com ? Yes, and if you follow the link, and click on 'shop', you will see a lovely WALL CALENDAR but not, for some reason, the Classic Climbs 2006 Engagement Calendar. I was told (by retail mokeys) that it was a seasonal item that may be out of print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
