Was this a great deal ?
|
thanks |
|
Yeah that's a great deal for all of that. Its a good starter rack. The hardware will be good without a doubt and looks to be in good condition. |
|
yes very good deal. you could have all your cams sent away to be re-slung and still have a good deal. |
|
Hell yeah! I wouldn't use the Bod Harness in lower picture just because I think they're uncomfortable |
|
yes... better than a good deal |
|
Great deal, and those cams are old enough that you should get them reslung. I guess that red one is a #4.5? |
|
Thanks guys. Great advise. Now the hard part is to decied to keep it and take up trad climbing or sell it. |

Yes it is a 4.5 Here's the only pic I was shown before I bought the gear.I know a guy that was looking to buy that box - PM me and I'll put you in touch if you want to sell. Heck, I'll buy the purple #4 off you. |

Re-sling the cams and toss anything that is soft, (But I am really picky about my gear). |

I'd get rid of all life saving softgoods unless you know their history and age.Looks like the #3.5 is gone. That could have easily doubled the value of the rack. As it stands you got a good deal but re-sling everything! That looks like the rack I had in he late 90's. |
|
Only paid $140??? Yer GONNA DIE!!!!! |
|
definitely replace the cord on the hexes and get the cams re-slung. Help out this fellow climber by sending your cams to get re-slung for good prices. |

What's up with this lame post anyway? Any idiot who's ever walked into a climbing shop could see it's an incredible deal. Is the OP so we can say, "You're so lucky. I wish I were you." |

I wish I were you."OP doesn't know about the trad gear and it's obviously old - Relax, he's just asking it's value. A buddy who just moved to CA actually asked me about the SAME BOX and asked if it was a good deal as well. Small world |

"Trad: Leads 5.10b Follows 5.10c" Hmmm...I thought the same thing, although it seems more of a braggadocios post. If he truly wasn't sure of the value I assume he would have used different terminology than "great deal". Either way, good deal good price.... |

woah is that silver thing in the top left a belay device?? |
|
That is a bizarre belay device. And right below it is a super awesome compass. I always carry a compass whenever I'm on a multipitch. I use it to find out which way is up. |

Dude, you got screwed and everyone on here is messing with you. I run a recycling biz though and will take it off your hands for what you paid for it. Don't worry about getting taken for, everyone does at some point in life.....jk, but really though. |

Kong makes one called the Ghost (image below). I bought one recently hoping it would work better with really skinny double ropes (<8mm), but I don't like it at all. The rigid "loop" takes too much freedom away, and it's more difficult to thread. Kong Ghost |
