News of General Discussion

My little brothers got me a set of Metolius Rock Rings (thanks guys, you hit the nail on the head) and now I need some engineering/construction advice.

I'm going to mount them in my basement. The basement once was a young boy's dream, no carpeting, just cement ceiling and walls, exposed 2x4 framing on the ceiling, and some uncovered I-beams for pullups. Unfortunately, it got finished a couple years ago, carpeting put in, drywall installed, ...

Books are sold.

Thinning my shelves, in most cases I have the HB so these are duplicates:

Nepal Himalaya, HW. Tilman
The Breach, Rob Taylor (SIGNED)
One Man's Mountains, Tom Patey
Nanda Devi Exploration and Ascent, Shipton / Tilman
No Picnic on Mount Kenya, Benuzzi
The Mountains of My Life, Bonatti
A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush, Newby
Staying Alive in Avalanche Terrain, Tremper

Books in good or better condition. All are great reads. ...

Merry Christmas or other holiday! whatcha get?

I got my own bouldering wall in my basement! New rock shoes, ski goggles, a chalk bag and chalk! Did anyone else get some rad stuff for the holidays?

*i know this has probably been asked before, but whatever

Bought a pair of 2007 Kayland Apex Treks (US women's size 7) at Boulder Mountaineering a few years back. Great balance between ruggedness and weight, but unfortunately they're a tiny bit too small for me. Worn only indoors.

Original retail $264 (current best US online price: $147).
My price: $115 including shipping

Email me if interested. Thanks

Thank you Lolli!!

for all of you, May the Peace and Joy of Christmas fill your hearts and those of your children!!

FWIW, here in the U.S., much store is set by having a "White Christmas" and we have that here, and in much of the country. Somewhat unusual, so it's a very special Christmas indeed.
