King Beatard Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 Doesn't need to be new or anything, just needs to be a big green cam in good shape with smooth trigger action and unkinked cables etc... Willing to buy or trade. I'm an electrician in Portland and could trade labor as well. Hopefully you bought one and it's been neglected in your gear closet after sending a few offwidths and deciding climbs that take #2's are way more fun Quote
billcoe Posted April 23, 2010 Posted April 23, 2010 He needs one of these green cams like in the picture. One time, I went up to this place to solo. Sat my stuff on the ground, was kicked back looking at the view and reveling in life. Totally forgot all my rack and went home. Walked away. Hiked right out. This is what it looked like the next day when we hiked back in to get it...shoes, water, cams: the whole thing. The exact spot I'd left it. My hiking partner kept laughing at me, calling me a forgetful old man. We all had a great time, the dogs were sniffing at rodents under the rocks like crazy. I never told her what that stuff costs that I just forgot there in the dirt. Quote
powderhound Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 how many valley giants do you have now? Make sure to bring em when you come down for your annual valley trip!!! Quote
billcoe Posted April 24, 2010 Posted April 24, 2010 LOL, 2 9's and 2- 12" - but for over 35 years I was without pro larger than 4" so that every time I got on the wide it scared the hell out of me .....doing it pro less. Never climbed enough to be good at it like Chuck Pratt back in the day...now I have pro but still sort of avoid it.... I'm not going on the pilgrimage this year though as I have bigger fish to fry: Gent, Andrew, Adam, Stan, Haydar and Ujahn are. Maybe Justin too, I don't have a scorecard. The last wyde I got on was the 10' upper section of Child Abuse back in November, which easily and gladly takes a 5" and a 6". Jimmy sent Adam here up with ONLY a #4 for the 2nd ascent, so he was looking at a huge whipper/ledge fall/flake impalement/combo splatterplatter....but he sent it anyway and lived, most likely with his testicles up in his throat someplace as I had both cams:-).....now he wants to buy a #6! Child abuse pics below, me belaying Shaun. Not a good shot of the Wyde part, but wyde there is. (Ask Adam:-) ) Jim Opdycke photo Jeff Thomas photo Quote
King Beatard Posted April 27, 2010 Author Posted April 27, 2010 Well Bill, Thanks for bringing the traffic in but it's not working. How about - Willing to pay $100. Quote
billcoe Posted June 14, 2011 Posted June 14, 2011 Can't believe that you traded a #6 Camalot for it. That Camalot is hanging in my basement right now. I bought it for $60. Brand new, tag still on it. Quote
