Mill 'em, nails be damned.
and unbelievably expensive. I have a goal to learn the basics before next Summer. The bigger goal is affording the gear. Yeah, yeah, can't put a price on safety, blah, blah. When I hear purveyors of nose-bleed-inducing expensive gear start down that line I turn off straight away. Even second hand gear here is expensive. For the occasional climbing need it's almost impossible to justify. That said, if I was all about the money to justify the gear I have I would have stayed staring at a computer and never ventured into the woods.The gear is nice
When the climbing gear is more expensive than my ute, it becomes a significant barrier to adoption. I figure I've got about 4 months of bargain hunting to see if I can come up with enough good gear to get a few lessons and experiment safely.
If anyone reading this stumbles upon any bargains, please can you PM me? Thanks in advance.
