The wife is making me clean out the basement. In the 18 years that I have been guiding and teaching I have accumulated a LOT of gear. Selling bits and pieces at rendezvous gear swaps isn’t moving it out fast enough (she says).
Up for sale will be dynamic climbing ropes, rappelling and canyoneering ropes, helmets, harnesses, carabiners, rappel/belay devices, lead climbing gear, dry bags, rope bags, packs, tents, cooking gear, rock climbing shoes, canyoneering shoes, wetsuits, and much much more.
Sale will be held in the ACA’s new classroom in Cedar City. 148 North 100 West. Sign isn’t up yet, so look for the address on the building. Located across from Evans Hair Styling College (and around the corner from Mike’s Tavern).
Thursday, May 8th, 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM Friday, May 9th, 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM

Our entire society would be better off if we stopped listening to lawyers.
I wouldn’t recommend anyone use my used climbing ropes for lead climbing, even though most of them were only used for top-roping climbing students.
Most of the ropes I have for sale are canyoneering ropes. I tend to retire ropes earlier than most recreational canyoneers would, so they still have some life left in them.
Caveat emptor.

Are we NOT climbers??
We are NOT!
For lead-climbing ropes, that is good advice. For canyoneering ropes, (with a few exceptions) everything you need to know about the rope can be found by inspection. Canyoneering ropes do not change noticeably with age, though, unlike their users, it would be hard to claim that they get better.

Rich,
Sound like you need ebay! Wish I lived close enough to hit your rumage sale.
Maybe you should post a list of hardware with prices.
