Is anyone interested in climbing or backcountry skiing over the
holidays?  I'll be near Sacramento with the grandparents babysitting.
I'm interested in checking out Sacramento Pipeworks or a quick ski
tour like maybe Castle Peak or Ralston Peak.  I might also ski at
Heavenly on the 23rd or 24th before the blackout dates.

Hey Guys,

Well I'm now over a year post injury (when I fell and shattered my
foot) and doing okay, but it's pretty clear that some things aren't
going to be in my future.  One of them is rock climbing.  I have
decreased strength in my foot/leg and lack of mobility in my ankle.
So that means rock climbing is out. Along with ice climbing.  I'm
still hoping that mountaineering will be okay along with backpacking,
but for now, those are on hold.

Don't feel sorry for me cause I'm okay with this.  I've been climbing
on and off for over 30 years now, so it now "off" again.  I'm able to
windsurf (my first love) and can also got back into mountain bike
riding.  So I'm still out there.......

BUT the point of this message is that I have a LOT of gear that I'm
not going to use and thought some members here might find a good use
for it (or know somebody who is getting started).  I'm not trying to
make a profit, just trying to get my gear out of my storage and into
the hands of somebody who will put it to use.

So here is the list.  I have pictures of most of this stuff and can
send them to you upon request.  The gear is located in Richmond right
off the 580 freeway at Marina Lakes Drive.

I'm pretty flexible on all this, so if you want a "package" make me
an offer :-)  I'm going to put it up on craigs list in a few days,
but wanted to give CMC first shot at it :-)

John,

I'm not a CMC member, but subscribe to your e-mail
list. So you may not consider me among those most
qualified to take advantage of your offer. But the
fact is, I'm not going to take any advantage of it at
all, personally. Among the Berkeley students who work
for me and whom I get acquainted with elsewhere on
campus, I'm often recruiting new climbers,
particularly ice climbers. And, as you know, ice gear
isn't cheap. So it would be great to have a pair of
ice tools and an extra Blizzard harness--just like
mine--to lend or give away. I was even planning to buy
a kid a Momentum harness and take him out climbing
after the holidays. So if you could see your way to
selling these items to me, I will assure you that I
have no intention of profiting from the transaction,
except to the extent that your generosity will help
ease my own expenses in training some new climbing
partners.

Harrison,

 

If you shoot me an e-mail direct, I can talk to you directly.

 

I'm sure there will be biners, ropes, and screws.  There is somebody in front of you who might want the stoppers and the camalot.

 

Shoot me a note so I can get you inline :-)  E-mail works better for me....

 

I also have pictures of most of this that I can send if I have an e-mail.

 

Yep, the Wizard is a pretty solid day pack, and MAYBE can be pushed into a bare bones weekend pack, but it carries climbing gear quite comfortably...

 

John

Hello,
Gracious offering, thanks.
I am interested in the biners, ropes, screws, offset stoppers and #4 camalot. Maybe the draws and 1 man tent too.

Please let me know if you still have any of these items available.

Thanks,

Hey Guys,

Well I'm now over a year post injury (when I fell and shattered my
foot) and doing okay, but it's pretty clear that some things aren't
going to be in my future. One of them is rock climbing. I have
decreased strength in my foot/leg and lack of mobility in my ankle.
So that means rock climbing is out. Along with ice climbing. I'm
still hoping that mountaineering will be okay along with backpacking,
but for now, those are on hold.

Don't feel sorry for me cause I'm okay with this. I've been climbing
on and off for over 30 years now, so it now "off" again. I'm able to
windsurf (my first love) and can also got back into mountain bike
riding. So I'm still out there.......

BUT the point of this message is that I have a LOT of gear that I'm
not going to use and thought some members here might find a good use
for it (or know somebody who is getting started). I'm not trying to
make a profit, just trying to get my gear out of my storage and into
the hands of somebody who will put it to use.

So here is the list. I have pictures of most of this stuff and can
send them to you upon request. The gear is located in Richmond right
off the 580 freeway at Marina Lakes Drive.

I'm pretty flexible on all this, so if you want a "package" make me
an offer :-) I'm going to put it up on craigs list in a few days,
but wanted to give CMC first shot at it :-)

10.5 mm x 60 m rope with case (Elderid rope, would trust on a lead a
few small falls), could use being washed.

falls, would make a great top rop or okay to lead on it, but it is a
fat rope)

orignal straps) $100 for the pair. I will miss these the most.

lowered to $2 each :-)   Such a deal.......

Subject: [rock-rendezvous] Utah and/or Colorado

I'm thinking of heading out on a road trip to Utah and/or Colorado for a mix of skiing (BC or lift) and technical ice climbing (Provo or Ouray).  My thoughts are to leave shortly after Christmas - but flexible. Probably about a week to 10 days round trip.

Anyone interested in joining me??

Hi I'm looking for some info on Jackets.  I need to replace my old
North Face Gore-tex Mtn Jacket.  I used it today while it was snowing
and it soaked through, it isn't on warranty either.  There are a lot
of new coatings and material on the market, some are a lot cheaper
than Gore-tex but I don't know if any are solid products or are they
hype?  Who is making the best product?  What is the state of the art?
What have you done well with?  I'd like to find something that will
work for both winter and summer.

Maybe the DWR water repellent coating on your jacket
wore off. Just wash it with the right soap and then
get a DWR coating. I use nicwax.

I have a giretex XCR cat and it's nice, but for
climbing I haev a real lightweight single layer from
mountain hardwear. It's not goretex, it's their
coating and I like it a lot. It's also a lot cheaper
and works as well as the gore tex in my opinion.
