Jer C Posted August 22, 2007 Posted August 22, 2007 (edited) Hey I'm 15 and just getting into climbing. I was woundering if anyone had some climing gear they wanted to give away that you no longer need. I need things like axe, protection, crampons etc.. Any old but safe gear you have and you want to give away would be greatly appreciated and used. I can pay to have things shipped or I could maybe pickup. Just attended a mountain school and can' wait to hit the hills! Thanks! jchrist_123@hotmail.com Edited August 22, 2007 by Jer C Quote

DPS Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Can you be more specific as to what you need, and if you need clothes/boots/shoes what size you wear? Quote
dinomyte Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 I'm assuming that the Seattle area has the equivalent of Next Adventure. Great prices on some used gear now and then. On a "spray" note, I don't recall needing protection when I was 15. Musta just been me. Quote
Jer C Posted August 23, 2007 Author Posted August 23, 2007 Hey I'm refering to snow pickets etc... Quote
Jer C Posted August 23, 2007 Author Posted August 23, 2007 Hey danielpatricksmith I need gloves, I have an okay but not great parka, around size 11 boots, pants. Quote

For shame! Second Ascent >> Next Adventure unless you want a bizarre history lesson or some Hagan Dolphins Quote
fenderfour Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 I've got a couple pickets you can have if you pick them up in Seattle. Send me a PM with phone #. Quote
Spencer Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 There was a great pair of size 11 plastic boots on craigslist for $75.00 also weekly trips to 2nd Ascent in ballard is always worth it for used clothes,and sometimes gear, and given your age you might approach the owner and offer a little work for gear. Good Luck! Quote
ericb Posted August 23, 2007 Posted August 23, 2007 Jer C....I think I have some size 11 Montrail Leather mountaineering boots bouncing around the garage (if they didn't go to Goodwill last spring)...I upgraded them 2 years ago. If I remember correctly, they are in great shape, but I supernate, so I wore the outside heel portion of the sole down - an $80.00 resole fix that. I'll take a look Quote
Toast Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 I have an old Stubai ice axe (70 cm) you can have. Quote
Chad_A Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 fender four had the pickets covered. I have a set of Saloman 11.0 size "Super Mountain 8" boots that might fit. Super comfy, just too many boots in my closet. You can PM me with any requests, I might be able to throw you some stuff I don't use anymore. Quote

Jer C Posted August 24, 2007 Author Posted August 24, 2007 Not sure exactly what you mean? explain please. THX Quote
Spencer Posted August 24, 2007 Posted August 24, 2007 Ok, its just my opinion, however with my two sons who both climb on there own now, I bought all there equipment when they were 16 after three trips they lost or damaged beyond repair half of it. after that I made them earn each piece back, and in some cases buy used stuff, and this time each piece they engraved there names, kept there gear in there room separate from mine and painted everything crazy colors and put stickers on all of it, they haven't lost anything in more than 3 years,crampons are always sharp and flags have there initials. were not this kids parents but it would be much better if he understood what most of this "stuff" cost. (sorry just the dad in me) Quote

Jer C Posted August 24, 2007 Author Posted August 24, 2007 Hi spencer, I do know what things cost. It's alot. All I was wondering if anyone had any old gear they weren't using and it was sitting in the garage collecting dust they no longer wanted I would put it to good use. That's all Quote
