Show me your tools

There's also the cost and availability of picks to consider which is problematic because they are quite expensive and not easily acquired in the US. 

Just to clarify, you can actually easily get Morpho picks cheaper than stock BD or Petzl directly in the US.

Verticall also retails those same picks. They’re an excellent retailer to both US and Can, but looks like their stock is presently low. Likely they haven’t received the new batch yet for this season. 

But yes the Kruk picks on the other hand are quite expensive as they are for any brand of tools.

And yes Morphos are expensive relative to most other tools, but I think people interested in Cortex should be aware that for the same price they could get a better tool.

Christian, where are you getting the Morpho picks in the US? I would like to get another set of the ice picks, but can't locate them.

Gotta stop shopping at Wal Mart bro!

Addiction? Yes. But much cheaper than $50k+ per year on booze & drugs....

Yes sir! Per your advice on GearTrade. My new tools for this season with wool mittens and footfangs...modern tools makes one soft. 

I suppose I can play too:

Fine collection, though I worry about your fetish for black tape over everything...

Even half of these could have funded some great climbing trips.  Like anywhere in the world...

We don't need rational and sensible views like that expressed in this thread!

Yeah I’d rather have the tools, I’m materialistic as hell
