HB Offsets- Yosemite Store

[W]

I guess this is the forum to put this in-

 

For you aid aficionados (or even free climbers, for that matter)- rejoice:

 

HB Offsets at the Yosemite Mtn Shop

 

Looks like the mountain shop is manufacturing these as a proprietary item since the demise of Hugh Banner.

 

Don't go up the Captain without them.

Oops...well, go figure. thanks Bill.

At the very least, the update seems to be that they are indeed here to stay. Meaning, now I can feel free to thrash on the ones I have been keeping in the oxygen chamber for the past few years, breaking out only for special occasions...

These aren't produced by DMM - they are being made by a woman who apparently holds the rights to the Brassies, but not the alloys. None of this has come about smoothly and likely complicated matters relative to DMM once again producing the alloys. We can only hope for the best and folks should email DMM and ask them to start producing the larger aluminum alloy HB Offests.
