In the spirit of supporting your local shop, give them a call first to see if they will match the price...

Great sale! Saved me over $200. No way my local shop could give it away that cheap. I go to the lowest bidder when it comes to gear. Dana packs are on sale for like 40% off. Omega pacifics links and c4's are a great deal too.

think globally, act locally. and for those that travel abroad, act globally as well.

that can be said for quite a number of things. but in this case i personally will forgo the sale. i want another set of metolius cams, but i will most definitely help to keep my local climbing shop in the green before i shop over the keyboard. by the way i think the local climbing shops can use the business in the ever bulging Internet market, oh yeah can your'local' Internet shop give you beta to dial in that super hard 5.11 crux on a 4-pitch climb? if you shop long enough at one place you do get discounts, not just once a year. HELP SUPPORT LOCAL AS WELL AS SMALL BUSINESS OWNERS!!!! IT'S ONLY FAIR IN OUR BIG BROTHER, BIG BUSINESS GOVERNMENT AND MENTALITY.

Come in, call, email us. You'd be surprised how much that means to your local shop just to ask us if we can match the price.

I just spent a grand at my local shop last month on a bunch of shiny new cams and beaners. Last year I spent a few thousand dollars there on bc gear. Please don't lecture me on supporting local shops. I only have one, and they get alot of money from me, but they don't always have what I need/want. Fact is, they didn't have the pack I wanted so I bought it on line and tacked on a few other last minute impulse buys too. That's what sales are for.
