I've got FRIENDS...

...and camalots and hexes and stoppers, OH MY!

I know I moved down here to try and make/save a little money before the Peace Corps, but when I saw 2 trad racks and some ice climbing gear come up on craigslist it was too good of a deal to turn down.

Here's just a sampling of the new goodies I have to play with:

2 - Grivel Rambo Ice tools with Hammer & Adze (1 bent & 1 straight shafts)
2 - Stubai Ice Ice tools with Hammer & Adze (+ spares)
1 - Pair Black Diamond Saber Tooth Dual Front Point adjustable Crampons
1 - Pair Grivel Rambo Dual Front Point adjustable Crampons
1 - Black Diamond (BD) Spectra Quick Place Ice Piton

12 - Black Diamond Quick Draws

2 - Trad Racks, w/ 2 sets BD Wire Stoppers, 8 SMC Friends / Camming devices, 8 Wild Things Hex Chocks, 6 Nautilus Chock Stoppers, 1 BD ATC & 1 Stitch Plate Belay Devices
12 - Assorthed Ice Screws & Ice Pitons

On top of that I've got 3 ropes, 2 pairs of shoes, some harnesses, a helmet and a whole bunch of biners and runners. A couple of the stoppers and one of the cams need to be retired, and the hexes need new cord, but other than that everything is in good working order. I had it checked out buy a guy at REI just for peace of mind and he agreed that it was a great find. Now, if only the weather would stay warm long enough for me to get some good use out of this stuff before the winter that would be splendid.
