FS- Shovel, sleeping bag, puffy, crampons and more

[Dannible]

Once again spring finds me hungry and unsure what the future holds as I plan another expensive trip to Alaska, so I need to sell some stuff. Prices include shipping. I’ll reduce the cost if you want to pick something up in Leavenworth.

 

Lifelink Shovel- $20 Plastic blade, but it has a lifetime guarantee. I’ve found that it works fine for the kind of snow we have in the PNW, but I got one with a metal blade for Alaskan ice layers.

 

 

Mammut Stratus (heavy version, not the flash) Large- $70. I got this used in good condition a year ago. I had another one before that that lasted 4 years before the insulation was getting compressed and the zipper broke. The zipper on this one is a bit odd sometimes, so it might need a new one eventually. Great jacket, kept me alive through some interesting wet and cold times. Has some little stains and a tear that was patched on the hood. The dark looking areas near the pockets aren't stains; its just kind of transparent. I would keep using it but was given a new puffy and need money.

 

 

 

On the right, just warm enough during a night on an Alaskan summit

 

Grivel G12 old version- $60. No Antibots. They have duct tape residue on them because that’s what I’ve been using to keep snow from balling. Better than nothing. You might want to buy some. These have been filed many times but would still work just fine for moderate ice, mixed, and glacier climbing.

 

 

Deuter Dreamlight 500 sleeping bag- $40 “They call it a dreamlite? Yeah, you’ll be dreaming pretty lightly in that thing,” said Sol after I told him that despite the low loft this was in fact not just a bivy sac. I wont lie; this thing will not keep you warm in the mountains, but it weights about a pound. It’s rated for 50 or 60 degrees or something. But if you are as poor as I am, sometimes you just have to make due. On a July or August night up high you might get to sleep half the night, which is better than nothing. When used with a puffy in the Stuart Range last week (low 20’s) I got a couple of hours of sleep. Best for people under about 5’ 10”. I’m 6’ and it’s pretty tight.

 

 

Seirus Balaclava- $10. Someone gave this to me and my head is too big for it (it’s a big head).

 

 

Asolo plastic boots size 11- $40 (again, that includes shipping) I bought these used and cheap years ago when I was just getting into ice. They were a size too small and I replaced them quickly, so they’ve just been collecting dust. Pretty beat, but they’re fine for volcanoes and people who are just getting into ice climbing and are lacking funds. Maybe Asolo would sell you some new liners for them, otherwise some glue might be in order.
