Did you take up climbing as a new years resolution? OR did you start going to the gym but get bored of lifting things up and putting them down or running in place? Maybe you're a seasoned vet and just like having extra money around. Well, today is your lucky day because I have some gently used gear that needs a new home.

Butora Acro shoes - 285mm (US size 10.5) - not stinky! Unworn in over a year. Good condition, rubber on the toes is completely intact. Retails for $150, selling here for $50. NOTE: These shoes are NOT for beginners and will wreck your feet and make it unpleasant to climb unless your feet have already gotten used to wearing climbing shoes.

Black Diamond Solution harness - I forget, either L or XL. I'm a normal sized 6'1" guy and it fits me well and could go either larger or smaller. I was much more of a boulderer so this is lightly used. Retails for $80, selling here for $30.

But wait, there's more!

Metolius Competition chalk bag & some chalk - comes with a TRC belay tag, now you don't have to take that pesky class!

Black Diamond Air Traffic Control w/ Carabiner - NOT what is pictured here, but similar, I can't find the exact model. Your future ATC is actually nicer, the carabiner is painted red underneath the locking bolt so you can quickly and easily do a visual check to make sure it's fully locked and safe.

Deuter Airlite 16 - I honestly don't really want to sell this bad boy, you could say we've been through a lot of life's highs and lows together. It's a small pack but I'm fairly sure that inside there's a portal to a locker in Germany because it holds an amazing amount of gear. The shoes, harness, and bag fit perfectly inside. There's a top pocket you can use for bandaids, climbing tape, the chalk bag belt, etc. Get some shoe spray and keep that in one of the side pockets. Clip the ATC onto the outside ropes so everyone knows you mean business.

Great for hiking too, the outside straps give you a ton of extra storage. You can roll up and strap two jackets back there if it gets hot while you're on the trail. Or get really crazy and strap a ukulele on the back. All this, while you have a first aid kit, towel, lunch and water for two people - what the hell, how does that even work!?

--

Shoes and harness for sale individually, buy at least one of them and get the chalk bag, chalk, ATC, and backpack for an additional $50.

Can't believe no one has mentioned Chimborazo park. They're redoing the water runoff from the hill. All kinds of construction equipment, working all the time and you can get up close and personal if you wish. My dog does not wish to.
