Do you have a size for the gloves? |

All very old and dangerous gear. Not worth selling. Please PM for proper disposal |
|
The "other straps" also known as webbing isn't worth selling and nobody would want it anyway. Most of the carabiners, at least the REI ones, have no antique value and would probably sell for less than a dollar apiece. Based on the age of other gear, I'd guess nobody would want to buy the ropes. |

The ropes and webbing are trash (i.e. not for climbing). The hardware $4 for the hexes and $3 for the stoppers, $2 for the biners. These are per piece prices. |

Was your father Jack Durrance? |

all the gear has been stored in a room with a dehumidifier since last use, and the two and three dollar values you gave is that a piece or for all of them |

Keep in mind the buyer will have to replace any cord threaded through the nuts since it has aged and cannot reliably be assessed for safety. The soft goods (ropes, nylon webbing, etc), those are not usable for climbing anymore for the same reason. However, someone making art projects, dog leashes, rope rugs, etc might like them. |

EBAY is the way to go |

It is all circa 1980 plus or minus a couple of years. The hardware is still usable. Though few use hexs much any more. Regardless of storage the soft goods (ropes and slings) will degrade from oxidation. Thus are not safe for climbing. Some people make rugs out of old ropes. Horsepackers like the ropes and they can be used for swings. If you do not get any offers those it on fleabay. |

Any relationship with Jack Durrance of Teton fame? |
|
Enough of this bs! |
|
That blue rope is an Edelweiss Rocklight 9.8mm. |
|
the yellow edelweiss has never been used |
|
gloves are large-xl and sorry no relation to Jack Durrance that I know of |
|
Are there any size markings, or , a maker's tag on the harness? |
|
I'll give you $60 for all the metal and the blue gear sling. Throw the nylon in the dumpster, yeah it might be fine but at today's prices it's not worth the risk. JB |
