Terminal_Gravity Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) Hi all, It's been a long time since I have been active on the site. Please: any of my old friends PM me or respond to this thread. I am probably moving to Argentina for the mountains and the back roads. I have to get rid of a lot of climbing gear and mountaineering books. I will start a list soon. To start with...may I have an offer for 1-31 Alpinist magazine set in good to excellent shape ( sorry, I don't have the Zero). If you need something, PM me and I might have it for pre-sale. I am keeping some of my ice and high altitude stuff but most of my rock gear is up of grabs. I am willing to sell extra cheap if you are worthy and broke. I also have a couple of items that might be museum stuff. An original Chouinard rock hammer for instance. stay out - steve Edited July 20, 2014 by Terminal_Gravity Quote
ivan Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 missed ya ole'boy - good to see yer still out there sucking wind you got a nice red alien or purple camalot? argentina? shiiiiit, you turning into a reformed nazi? Quote
Terminal_Gravity Posted July 21, 2014 Author Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) okay, so here goes a list of guide books. I'll follow with technique guides and couch books. I'll give (name), (author), shape (1-10) 1 is readable and 10 is mint, copy right date and edition (if not the first). Most are "make offer" on the price. If not I will suggest a price. Offer me one dollar and I might take it. CLIMBING GUIDES Colorado Front Range Bouldering, Bob Horan, 8, '89 Mountaineering in Iceland, Ari Guomundsson, 7, '95 ( hard to find guide) Climber's guide to Smith Rock, Watts (of course), 5, '92 Red Rocks Select, Todd Swain, 6, '93 Haleakala - a guide to the mountain, Angela Kepler, 8, '88 Yuraq Janka, J Ricker, 5, '77 second edition, Very rare but essential to climb in Peru $15+ Climbers Guide to Yosimite Valley, Steve Roper, 4, '71 first edition...a true classic Owens River Gorge Climbs, Marty Lewis, 6, '93 A climbing guide to Oregon, N. Dodge, 5, "75 A climbers guide to Sakha (BC.), McLane, 6, '93 Sport Crags in S. Ca., Troy Mayr, 7, '92 Desert Rock, Eric Bjornstad, 8, '96 Denali Climbing Guide, Secor, 7, '98 Cascade Alpine Guide -Columbia River to Stevens Pass, Beckey...but you already knew that, 9, Second edition '79 Tahoe Rock, Meytras, 5, '87 Rock Climbs of TahQuitz and Suicide (where I started), Vogel, 7, '85 Climbing the Cascade Volcanos, Smoot, 7, '93 A Climbers guide to Glacier Point Apron ( My old home turf, I climbed almost everything in the guide), Bruce Morris (The serious Dude), 3, '81, Super SUPER rare ( maybe unfindable and signed copy) but still the only GP specific guide ( I think). Cheap to a good home to somebody that will use it. ALSO, The Climb, Anatoli Boukreev, 2, '97, FREE and I will pay for the postage if you are interested in the Everest disaster and read "into thin air" which sucked IMHO.

Terminal_Gravity Posted July 21, 2014 Author Posted July 21, 2014 missed ya ole'boy - good to see yer still out there sucking wind you got a nice red alien or purple camalot? argentina? shiiiiit, you turning into a reformed nazi? Hey Ivan, good to hear from you too. Nope no Nazi shit....I just love the Andes. If you want TMI my daughter is gay and my step daughter is black...nazi does not really fit my profile. I do have a purple Camalot. It is practically new...I hated carrying that SOB around, never fell on it, barely has a scratch. You could probably take it back to REI as new. Got a red metolious quad cam...might be the sam size as an alien. I'm not sure. What size do you want? later - s Quote
Terminal_Gravity Posted July 21, 2014 Author Posted July 21, 2014 Ivan...you have over 15000 posts???!? Quote
Terminal_Gravity Posted July 21, 2014 Author Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Ivan, did you mean the 0.5 or the giant #4 camalot?...got both; they are both purple. Edited July 21, 2014 by Terminal_Gravity Quote
Terminal_Gravity Posted July 21, 2014 Author Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) Protection... I have gotten rid of everything that is the least bit questionable. Anything I sell is within 80% of new condition. Frankly, I don't want the liability of selling some old worn out piece of climbing gear. Make an offer... CAMS and hardware A complete set of Camalots 0.1 to 4...11 total. an extra #2...my favorite size 0,1 & 2 metolious tri cams 4 & 5 Metolious quad cams purple & silver Wired Bliss tri cams... I love these for finger cracks 1 through 4 of these crazy strong custom wired cam slide wedges, strong as hell, perfect for tip cracks, brilliant design except they fix. If you take a hard fall the crack owns it...not you; But, hey, your still alive. They grab better than any cam made. 5 old school tri cams, blue through pink 1-9 Wild Country Rocks 12 very small wedges several KB's LA's and angles 3 old jumars 6 unused bashies lots of soft gear some odd ball wedges and hexcentrics gobs of 'biners let me know if you want something, I'll get into other stuff later - steve Edited July 21, 2014 by Terminal_Gravity Quote
ivan Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Ivan...you have over 15000 posts???!? yes, i usually have very little to say yeah, the small .5 camalot - whatever price you wanna pounce upon, venerable sir - 30$? plenty of room in the world for black lesbian nazis! shit, it's all the rage these days Quote
Terminal_Gravity Posted July 21, 2014 Author Posted July 21, 2014 Yep, 30 works unless somebody in the next 12 hours says they just have to have the whole set. PM your address or tele and I'get it in the mail tomorrow. wut's up wif yo self these days? Quote
olyclimber Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Wow Steve! Sounds like a great new adventure. Quote
Terminal_Gravity Posted July 21, 2014 Author Posted July 21, 2014 Wow Steve! Sounds like a great new adventure. good to hear from you, Oly. still climbing that wall in your back yard? Yeah, I want the Andes in my back yard...'love those mountains. Although, I may be to old and beat up to use them much. cheers mate Quote
olyclimber Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 Nope, had to tear it down! A raccoon momma crawled in back of it and had a litter. It was nuts and stuck to high heaven. I eventually just tore everything out just to get rid of the smell, plus I needed to paint that side of the house. Yeah, but to get out and enjoy the hills before we have to be wheeled up them. Quote
joshgreen454 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 hi again steve. i replied to your email and sent you another pm. i would definitely be interested in the whole set. if for some reason the purple 0.5 is shipped, i would send ivan a newer purple c4 in exchange to keep your set intact? let's work out a price! Quote
Terminal_Gravity Posted July 22, 2014 Author Posted July 22, 2014 Hey Josh, I have not shipped the 0.5 to Ivan yet...But he wants it and I agreed. Should I send it to him or do you really, really want the complete set. $350 for the set, I think, pretty fair. They are, as you have seen, in the photo almost new. stay out - s Quote
pcg Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Are you aware what climbing gear sells for in Argentina? You could probably put an ad on the wall at Club Andino and sell for double what you'd get here. Or better yet, sell for same price and make a lot of local climbers happy. Quote
joshgreen454 Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 if steve and i can arrive at a price for the whole set, i will work things out with you ivan to ensure you get a purple 0.5. you guys are friends and i don't want do wrong by either of you in the deal. mountain gear has a complete set of the newer c4s for $570 shipped as part of their current sale. optimistically, i was hoping to be in the $250ish range for a set of the older camalots. if not, i will probably pass.

Terminal_Gravity Posted July 23, 2014 Author Posted July 23, 2014 Ivan...if you want the cam you have to give me your address. Call me - steve Quote
ivan Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 wife's got the phone so it might be awhile pm'ed n' emailed you my address in the interim Quote
