[SOLD] Free Black Totem for an adventurer

After an awesome year of climbing and scoring some great deals on gear myself, I'm giving away a free black totem, shipping included. Totem has been placed like 10 times and never fallen on. 

Tell me why you need a black totem (via PM or reply), and I will choose my favorite answer on Friday and ship the totem over the weekend. Happy holidays!

PS Edit: If you can easily afford totems anytime, please leave the black totem for someone else. 

Whoa, please make this "reply only"!

Reply preferred, but I'd like to leave PM in case people have private projects/reasons they don't need everyone on MP to see. 

I need a black totem to place into the rock at the base and hold up my gear sling so I can rack up all my 2005 Metolius TCUs and tricams

I need a black Totem to wave at random climbers on approach trails while ranting about the brave new world Direct Loading represents. 

I need a black totem for this one crack at this one crag i almost climbed this one time this one season but i didnt have a black totem so i was like oh no i cant climb this crack please

I could use the black totem because a guy I used to climb with once told me I wasn't a worthy partner and I would like to shove it up his ass and watch him suffer.

I would love a black totem because I want to experience this glorious cam that everyone tells me about. As an aspiring trad climber and poor college student I love the feel of totems and would be so stoked to add this to my growing rack. Cheers!

Im a broke college student who has a few old friends and some hexes but barely enough to safely climb any trad routes in the adirondacks or the gunks which are the two closest climbing areas to me. Right now money is the biggest barrier to climbing more. I am mostly limited to sport climbing which is few and far between, so each piece of gear is an opportunity to climb at a new location on some of the best rock in the world. 

I don't need a free totom but props for the good karma move!

i'll one up these broke college students... i'm a broke grad student.
Hit me with that black totem so I can math out how they got by with such skinny looking cables straight on the lobes... also it'd be the perfect size to place in between my toes and really stretch them out. show some love to your feet folks

There's this one section of my 5.6 proj thats superrrr run out(like 7 feet between the bolts) that's too scary and a black toedumb cam would fit perfectly in this crack right before the crucks(that means the hardest part)

Have you seen that one movie?

I need a black totem to hang on my wall next to my free solo poster with the rest of my cheapass cams, so my tinder dates can get a real "outdoorsy" vibe from this broke ass college student. Might even get plugged on a few 5.9s and get filmed on my sick helmet gopro too! 

Currently projecting my first potential 5.12 on gear, and would feel a lot more confident with a black totem to hold the second crux move than a bootied tricam placed for "confidence" !!

If I get this black totem I'd give it to my best friend. He started climbing this year and I've seen the sport totally transform his outlook on life. He's planning on going to school in New Paltz next year and is stoked to trad in the Gunks.  Currently, his rack consists of 5 of the original friends, an old rack of nuts, a few burnt out C4's, and some sketchy tri cams. He'd be beyond grateful to add this cam to his rack. 

I believe it was Abraham Lincoln who once said: "give me a black totem cam, or give me death!" It's crazy to think he said that, but really, it's true. 

The fact is, a totem cam isn't just a totem cam. It is a beautiful, shining light upon a hill, the model to the world of what we climbers can make. And frankly, it is amazing. So I will treat this totem cam like the precious, beautiful object it is, the way it deserves to be treated. It will be loved, welcomed, bathed. I will clean and lube it every day, and hang it from my desk to fiddle around with it when Zoom gets boring. 

So anyway, it would be cool if I got one, because I'm just getting into trad and I've heard a bunch of rad things about them. My current rack is fairly limited, and I don't really have any micro gear discounting an old, sketchy WC cam from god-knows-when. And, as the great Reverend King once said, "This Terrible Climber dude is super cool, you should give him a totem cam."

Either way, make sure to tell your totem cam I said "hello your highness", and have a happy holidays! 

You could give it to me, I live in Idaho and there isn’t enough of anything black.

I need a black totem because my other three black totems are always triangulating and need to develop better social dynamics in their herd. 

I’d love it so I can bring it in for my physics class to demonstrate concepts after I’ve used it and also tell them how I specifically achieved getting it for free. Plus I can gaze lovingly at it while I’m remote teaching as a bonus motivator. 

Need one for R&D. Sent PM
