2 Ropes for Local Pickup (Central OR or PDX)

I’ve got 2 65-ish meter ropes (ranging in diameter from 9.7-10.2) still a bit of life in these for top roping, hand lines, or rugs but would not recommend leading on these. I’m based in Bend but will be up in Portland for August and first half of September. Shoot me a message if you’re interested. 

Hey I'm in Bend and work with retired ropes, could I grab these from you?

All free:

Blue rope is Mammut Infinity 9.5, bought in 2012, cut to maybe 40 or 50m.

Metolius big wall gear sling. Bought it used, used a couple times.

BD C4 .3 with a broken spring, re-slung in 2018 (BD didn’t have blue webbing, hence the green).

Local pick up in SW Denver near Wadsworth and Quincy. Please send me a PM if interested

Pm on the cam and gear sling

Catch and release from the freebie forum here.

I just ask that you pay shipping.

Interested.

up for grabs; for the OG air Tommy enthusiasts. Made a few of these for friends and have an extra in size medium. It hasn’t been washed yet; but seems like it’s on the bigger end of the medium spectrum.

Guaranteed to make those young whippersnappers at the crag show a little god damn respect for once.

Seven BD 12 cm dyneema dogbones and one Mad Rock "Big Wall" 12 cm dogbone

Been on my rack for probably 10-15 years. Nothing wrong with them other than they're a little old and I wanted to upgrade to fatter dogbones easier for an old guy to yard on. I whip so little I doubt any of them have seen much of a real fall

Cover $5 shipping and they're yours

Are these still available?

mammut 9.5, probably 55m

Brand New Black Diamond Avalung.  Never used (shrink-wrap is still on the mouthpiece).  You pay shipping or pick up in Golden, CO.

OK, this is it.  I am giving away a genuine Dana Designs Bomb Pack in kinda-sorta-excellent condition (read on to understand the catch).  This is a circa 2000 pack, the year before the Dana label was discontinued (and the packs were briefly sold under the Marmot label before being phased out, and then Mystery Ranch showed up on the scene, etc.).  If you climbed and skied in the '90s, this was THE pack that did it all, and it was indestructible to boot.  This particular design is full of the innovations that were introduced in the final years-- the wishbone hip belt, the hypalon-reinforced crampon patch on the shovel pocket, the improved fastex buckles for easier operation with gloves on.  This pack is a truly outstanding alpine load hauler.  At a very expandable 50 liters, this is the same style I carried for more than one multiday Northwest volcano, plus every winter hut trip and spring couloir mission in Colorado for decades.  The one I am giving away was my wife's; she barely used it.

But.  In the intervening years that it has been hanging in our (dry) basement, the PU coating on the interior of the cordura fabric has decomposed.  As you may know, some old PU coatings dry out and sort of rub/pill off after a while, so you end up with little rubbery bits stuck to your gear and clothing, and the pack fabric is no longer waterproof, but otherwise the strength and performance of the nylon is unaffected.  This is the worse version, where the PU coating is chemically breaking down into a thick sticky coating of what feels like partially melted electrical tape adhesive.  It is highly tacky, and it even leaves a bit of sticky residue on your fingers if you press on it.  It would transfer sticky goo onto any gear or clothing stuffed inside it, so it probably needs to be carefully scrubbed out before you use the pack.  Either that or you could line the inside with a big garbage bag every time you use it.

My laziness is your gain.  My own Bomb Pack has not broken down this way, for whatever reason, and so I still happily use it.  That being the case, I am not invested in doing the work of scrubbing out the entire interior of this other pack with a wire brush, or whatever it would take (there are a few online sources for techniques for removing old PU coating that is breaking down).  If you're the person willing to do that (and pay for shipping, or pick up in Golden, CO), then you gain a quality alpine pack that, while it may not be as water resistant as before, still skis well, climbs well, even backpacks well, and will never wear out.  Waist belt size is small.

Update:  be aware that shipping costs for this odd-shaped item will be tough to keep low; the back frame is rigid (that's why it carries weight so well) and is at least 27", so I haven't been able to get a shipping estimate from anywhere that is less than $45ish.  This is a great deal if you live close enough to pick it up in Golden, CO, or if you are a dedicated Dana fan.

Free, but pay shipping.
