Julian Posted October 29, 2011 Posted October 29, 2011 (edited) Having lost 50 pounds in the past 5 months I'm in the process of selling some of my now-too-large soft goods in order to downsize. My loss (literally) is your gain! Some cams are also up for sale. All prices include shipping. PM me or email me at julianmbuck@gmail.com. I can do Paypal for payment. Prices are OBO, more inclined to cut deals if you buy multiple items. Also willing to entertain trades for a Black Diamond Xenos or Ozone harness in size medium, ice screws of any reasonable quality, Arc'teryx Atom LT hoody in medium, or Scarpa Freney XT boots in size 42. I'm willing to pay the difference in a trade if you have one in mind where your item is higher value. 1. North Face Ama Dablam Jacket, size L - $125 SOLD You want bomb-proof, lightweight mountaineering gear? You got it! Manufactured back when TNF was making really high-quality climbing wear, this jacket was $500 new and worth every penny. It's constructed with the original single-layer Goretex Paclite (aka "hockey puck Paclite"). I've never had any issues with the rubber disks moving around, and the jacket has never leaked, has no damage, and has been well cared for. A great jacket for the PNW weather that I don't have to deal with now living in the Southeast and ice climbing when the weather is good. This one served me well in some absoute shit conditions on Mt. Hood and during an open bivy on Mt. Baker. 2. Arc'teryx Venta SV hoody, size L - $150 SOLD Hurts to sell this $400 jacket that I bought only one season ago. Used but well-cared for, no damage other than some dirt stains on the arm (not really damage but full disclosure and all that). Burly soft shell that's great for the Cascades but a bit too heavy for down here (went down to a Gamma LT instead and dropped from an L to an M). Gore Windstopper and a DWR finish make this one a strong shield against the elements, it's another veteran of some nasty business on Hood. Full-length pit zips help control the temperature effectively. 3. North Face Redpoint Jacket, size L - $40 SOLD Great insulated jacket if you are fine without a hood, originally retailed for $150. Common theme with my stuff: used but well looked-after. In this case that means no holes, burn marks, patches, snags, etc. Primaloft insulation makes this a good jacket for lots of different conditions, and it can be layered over other gear. Only reason I'm selling it is I picked up an Atom SV hoody to be my go-to belay jacket. 4. HB Quadcams $20 each or $100 for all 6 SOLD Don't have the actual specs handy here sorry, but I think they are sizes 0.5-3 (in half-size increments). Nice cams for filling out a rack, for me they were supposed to be the start of one but I just don't trad climb enough to make acquiring all that stuff worthwhile (or when I do, it's with fully-equipped partners). Placed each several times, mostly when building anchors, and none have caught a fall (maybe been weighted a handful of times with no impact force). Slings all look perfectly fine to me. 5. Nike USPS-Berry Floor team cycling shorts, size XL - $20 Some nice cycling shorts I picked up back in the mid-2000s when Lance Armstrong was all the rage and didn't wear that often because I soon got a pair with bibs. There is some significant peeling on one of the thigh logos, but absolutely no structure damage (or even cosmetic damage outside of the peeling logos). Fits about 37-42 waists or somewhere in that range. 6. Black Diamond Blizzard Harness, size M/L - $50 Used for only 3 days last season but just a wee bit too big (size is called M/L but it fits like a large). A bit of dirt on the orange part of the swami but otherwise looks practically new. Great ice/mixed harness with ice clipper slots, comfortable swami and leg loops, etc. Would consider continuing to use it as it still technically fits (especially with a jacket underneath) but I think if I lose more weight (which I plan on doing) that won't be feasible for too much longer. 7. Black Diamond Focus SA, size L - $30 This one has seen some significant use but mostly at the gym and on toprope. It's caught one or two short gym lead falls and none outdoors. Looks to be in good shape and should have lots of life left. speed adjust buckles, comfortable waist belt, good gear loops, it's a solid all-around harness that's comfortable to wear all day. A lot of the visible "wear" is really just chalk residue. 8. Black Diamond Momentum AL, size L - $15 This harness is about 5 years old but the last 3 or so have been largely spent in a gear bin. What looks like wear on the belay loop is mostly just chalk dust. I've put this harness to use with no fears or qualms when I have a friend who wants to learn to climb. It's taken one or two short lead falls at the gym. Edited October 31, 2011 by Julian Quote
