Re: Wanted: Used Climbing Gear and Thermarest
I have some items for the woman: a Chouinard Bod Harness, size S, with XL leg loops. I wore a size 10-12 pant at the time.
Also Boreal climbing shoes which fit me and I wear a 9.5. I did not do a lot of climbing, so these are in good condition. Older gear, but OK if you are just learning. I can sell both the harness and the shoes for $35 + shipping. PM me or email at pcrane@pcrane.com.
I may have a chalk bag, belay device and even a Thermarest pad too; I will check the archives.

Re: Wanted: Used Climbing Gear and Thermarest
Which Thermarest? We have 5 or 6 in the house (maybe more). I would be willing to part with 2 or 3 of the lightweight 3/4 length ones for a fair price plus shipping (mostly shipping plus the box to pack it in). They are fairly old, but in excellent shape (never punctured, hold air just fine when in a fixed campsite for 3 or 4 days). Post here.
On the harnesses, I should remind you that CE and UIAA (the gear certification agencies for climbing gear) specify a maximum life of 4-7 years for fabric gear, such as harnesses and ropes, even if they just sit on the shelf (synthetics deteriorate with time, just sitting there in ideal storage conditions). Personally, I would never buy used climbing harnesses or ropes. In our climbing program, we retire harnesses after 4 years, and do not allow personal harnesses of that age (or any personal harnesses that we do not inspect thoroughly). It is your life and limb, and I would suggest that the cost of a new harness is well worth the "insurance" premium.
