Climbing gear is not exempt from inflation and every year it costs more. Just to let everyone know Black Diamond Micro Stoppers went up from $9.95 to $13.50 per stopper. Wow, a 35% increase in 1 year with no change in the product

If you want mico stoppers you can still get them at last year's price from some retailers. I just bought my set.

Oh, so that explains the price on those Deviant gloves posted on the For Sale section! And from a very nice salesperson too...

It's Reaganomics, I tell ya!


Wait.


Wrong decade.

Tim, I think it's Bush's Strategery instead of Reaganomics--although Karl Rove and voodoo with Daddy's years may share some things in common.

Oh well, there's always pro deals!

C'mon...whose the first that's gonna yell..... "cause their made in China!"?

looks like it just might have been the artist formerly known as T

With no RP's on the market there is less competition, and there are more new climbers buying gear ever year. Its pretty simple supply and demand.

ya got me, stink finger.

Don't overlook the fact that copper prices have increased 4x in the past 5 years.

I understand the reasons behind the price increase. I just wanted to let everyone know while they are still available at last years price.
