Belay Seat

[luwayo]

who has seen one in my general neighbourhood? that'd be 2hrs either way of the Peace Arch/Truck crossing.

 

please pm or post if you have one to get rid of.

do you want the fabric one like OnSight makes, or a custom plywood model?

[luwayo]

prefer fabric.

 

will consider hardseat if dirt cheap.

 

were you skiving off somewhere today?

[G-spotter]

Marmot in Bellevue has the Yates belay seat for about $20.

Don't buy one you fucking Yuppie!!!!

 

Plywood, foam pad, duct tape, webbing. Pretty simple.

Try sticking that in your pocket.

Fabric belay seats are worthless. Not much more comfortable than a good harness and just another thing to carry. Unnecessary for free climvbing. If you're doing lots of aid, with multi-hour belays, a hard one is the way to go.

found! sort of. stopped in at climb-on. george often has them, 'cept for last friday. (fiddled with some transformer-like OP Link cams instead. not for sale.)

 

mec doesn't carry the belay seats anymore....referred me to carleson's.

 

carleson's could only offer a beefed up model for SAR. they've got an interesting on-line catalogue.
