North_by_Northwest Posted December 8, 2002 Posted December 8, 2002 I'm looking for really old Friends, Hexes and chocks. I am not going to use them for climbing, so they don't need to be functional or safe or even whole. The older and more beat the gear looks the better. Go through the stuff you don't climb on anymore and can't really sell because of the wear and let me take it off your hands. PM me a list of what you have and I'll let you know what I'll pay for it. I'll pick it up if you're in the Seattle area or we can meet on a cragging day sometime down the road. Quote
Lambone Posted December 9, 2002 Posted December 9, 2002 Gotta ask...what are you doing with it? Quote
COL._Von_Spanker Posted December 9, 2002 Posted December 9, 2002 Maybe it's the newest martha stewart decorating scheme. Old hexes for drawer pulls, nuts for the cabinet doors.... Quote
Dru Posted December 9, 2002 Posted December 9, 2002 hes gonna hang it off his tongue ring and amphalang Quote
North_by_Northwest Posted December 10, 2002 Author Posted December 10, 2002 Not even close Dru, but not a bad idea... Â The COL. is closer to the truth. It's an art project completely made of old beat gear. I've collected a few old pieces found in the rock, a tattered glove found on stuart, an old broken ice axe I found in the N. Cascades (was heavy to carry out-20+lbs) and a few other knicknacks. Right now I need more broken cams, dead pitons and totally beater hexes. It will all be held together by worn bleached webbing in the end. It will probably look like some kind of rat's nest but who knows? Â ScottP has offered some Chouinard hexes and stoppers, anyone got some old forged friends they don't use? I'm not going to pay a lot since it's not usable gear I want, but I'll chip out at least $3 a piece for anything that looks good. Quote
freeclimb9 Posted December 10, 2002 Posted December 10, 2002 check out the heinous gear for sale here. Quote
salbrecher Posted December 10, 2002 Posted December 10, 2002 I saw some old, old cams and gear in a box of gear Dru got from a deceased climber last year Quote
thelawgoddess Posted December 10, 2002 Posted December 10, 2002 cool! please post a pic or two when you're done! Quote
North_by_Northwest Posted December 11, 2002 Author Posted December 11, 2002 You'll get to see it, but I need some gear first. Â I may just settle for modern gear: blownout Camalots and mangled TCUs would make a nice mobile.... Â Send your sketchy pieces this way! Quote
fredrogers Posted December 13, 2002 Posted December 13, 2002 I was at Second Ascent yesterday. They have a shitload of old gear up on the walls- hexes, nuts, bongs, hammers and old ice tools. Maybe they'll sell them to you. Worth a shot anyway. Quote
