Ice Gear on MEC GearSwap

Postby PaulB » Tue Oct 17, 2006 12:02 pm

I noticed that someone in NB has ice tools & crampons for sale on MEC's OutdoorGearSwap. Would be a good setup for someone looking to get into ice climbing.

Black Prophet Ice Tools for $250.
Rambo Crampons for $150.

It seems pretty expensive for both of those items. I'd keep looking. Try to find CM Pulsars or BD Rage ice tools. Quarks are your best bet but they will likely run you a few dollars more.

Black Prophets are serious forearm trainers
I want to go to hell... there's probably lots of rock to climb there.

The tools might be an okay deal since any BD picks should still fit them, though slightly more modern tools could probably be had for the same price.

The crampons seem quite expensive, even if they were never used. It would probably be hard to find parts for them and considering you can get a set of modern( :lol: ) crampons for $50 more, it doesn't seem like quite the deal.

:oops:
The OP was a month and a half ago. It seems someone has bought them already or they were taken off the site.
