My wife and I have the following gear that we are wondering about whether we should sell:

-Simond ice pick

-several Chouinard and Lowe ice screws

-Wild Things Friends (size 1 and 2 1/2)

-about 30 carabiners from Chouinard, SMC, Bonati

-Chouinard rock tocks/chocks of varying sizes from small to large

-Figure 8 belay plates

We are thinking these might be of most interest to a collector, and not for climbing due to their vintage, but would appreciate advice. We do see stuff of this vintage for sale on eBay.

Thank you in advance for help and advice!

I’d be happy to help with values. It sounds like you have the most “common” vintage gear but if you post a picture I can let you know if you have any hidden gems and give you an idea of the overall price you should be looking for.

I may be interested in some stuff for cheap if ClimbingOn confirmes there isn’t anything expensive

My first time ice climbing, I usedChouinard screws to lead. It should be a requirement for all new ice climbers to use them once and appreciate the pioneers of the sport.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
