| Memphis it is! Send me your info and I'll get the biners out to you as soon as possible. For anyone who was wondering, Beal was the rope company, and Beale Street is a part of what Memphis is famous for. That satisfied my boredom for at least a day. |  FLAG |

| Thanks Evan. PM coming your way. To keep the spirit of the thread alive, I'll take my pick of the lot, and pass the rest on to a bud who's just building up his first gear rack. |  FLAG |

| I'm looking for some rope for fixed emergency egress lines in an abandoned mine. Static is preferred but not required. Anything still usable in 9mm or larger would work fine. We plan on placing this in a particular mine where the main access route is subject to collapse and blockage. The alternate route requires ropes rigged from above and this would provide for an emergency second way out. Somewhere around 100' would be perfect. If anyone has anything lying around please let me know. Thanks! |  FLAG |

| This thread has gotten totally F$%K$D. The rules were you are NOT to ask for stuff but since that has gone out the window... Does anyone have an aid rack they can give me? like 2 full sets of cams, a set of offset cams, several sets of nuts, micro-nuts, some hexes, maybe 25 pins? Hooks, Cam hooks, Heads, Aiders, Haul device, pig, portaledge, power drill, ball nuts, and like 50 biners? Oh and if you could pay shipping that would be awesome. Hope to hear from someone soon. Thanks :) |  FLAG |

| I have some size 13 Vasque, Gore-tex boots with Vibram soles. They are crampon compatible and stiff for ice climbing. They aren't quite as stiff as most modern ice boots but they still work great on steep ice. I learned to ice climb on these for a season and a half and was totally happy with em. Free to a medioker (or better) home. (beer accepted but not necessary)

The Pay it Forward thread on the cycling site i'm on is "have" only. mod's actually delete posts "asking" to me it's a thread for people to give stuff away cheap to clean out the closet of things gathering dust not to beg for stuff. |  FLAG |

| Evan s. Do you really need the rules written out for you. I thought it was cool how you turned it into a game with the free biners. But I personally think it's not cool to ask for things. If that catches on every dirt bag climbing out there is going to ask for something. It might just wreck the good nature of the thread. |  FLAG |

If you see something you could use then post up but trolling for freebe stuff is not what it should be about. Evan: My bad, I was just going from memory and thought that an admin had said this at the beginning of the thread, turns out is was just another regular guy, but personally I think that its a good rule, if you want to ask for stuff I would just make it its own post/thread in the FS/FT category. Also I do recognize that you have given away a bit of stuff, so maybe you feel like you have earned the right to ask. I love the idea behind this thread and will post something (probably after I find something useful on it, pay it forward) but I usually just give extra gear of mine to people i run into in real life. just my $.02. EDIT/ADDED: I have a chalk-bag someone can have (although I think there are several on here). Its kinda small, probably like 80's/90's but still works fine. Pic on request. You pay actual shipping (as cheap as I can find) on the honor code as I wont know what it is until I send it (but it will be $5 or less as that is what a flat rate box is, but hopefully it will be cheaper than that). |  FLAG |

| SHITTY MASTER CAM WANTED!!!! Ok so I am also posting this in the Free gear section. I am looking for a master cam that someone is willing to send me so I can do a modification experiment on the strings that they come with. I have an idea that may be able to replace the string with wire like a C4. Problem is I dont have the cam to do it and I don't want to buy a new one to try this. If anyone has one they don't mind giving away (it can be totally TRASHED and worthless. let me know and I will post a how to modification page about my experiment. If you found one of these on a route and its rusted up that is what I am talking about!! I will even send it back to you if you want. let me know! |  FLAG |

The cord on the master cams are extremely durable. Apparently you dont have one to use, so before you put any more thought into this, i suggest you use a couple of em for a season or two. Theres no need to replace what metolius already tested and confirmed. |  FLAG |

| That Master Cam "super duper bomber cord" is the failure point for 99% of those cams. My buddy whipped off a tough route the other day and trashed his "s-d-b cord" on the cam's first fall. It's always helpful when there are those kind souls who take time out of their day to piss on random internet strangers. I salute you, Dorsal Fink annoying guy! |  FLAG |

But despite your faith in the strings I will waste my time doing what I want to do and you can continue to waste your time by getting on MP and telling people not to try new things. (you tell me who is wasting more time...) I have received a MC from a kind climber and I will be doing the mod soon. Quite a few Master cam users are pretty stoked on this project. I will take pics a long the way and post my experiment in the appropriate discussion board. |  FLAG |

Do not expect to get into a pissing match w me over the internet. And Dont worry I had the 15 seconds to "waste" that it took for me to reply. The "failures" you speak of were in the shit adhesive that was used in the first few batches of cams. Not the actual cord. If you have evidence otherwise I would be curious to see it...seriously. I personally am yet to see an instance where the cord frayed or pulled to failure in an instance where the cam was PROPERLY placed. And I own and have climbed on plenty of em. From what i have seen and heard, the internet myths regarding the "string" were put to rest weeks after they were released and the adhesive was corrected. Wrong? Maybe I am and if so im curious as to the problem. PS..If you plan on replying in the typical internet tough guy tone again....might as well save your frustration cause I simply wont reply. |  FLAG |
