Nice balanced post Dalai.

The not readily available comment worries me, does this mean if shop P for example does not stock the item but shop R does... I can say "hey R has this stuff for 25 bucks" but sponsored climber ( from ANY sponosors shop ), G can not?

How are you to determine the difference between advert and editorial? That seems like a question I have heard before somewhere, and with bigger sheep stations than a 300 dollar rope.

There are a couple of shops I buy from, not on line, who give me up to 20% off either as friends I have known for a long time, as a member of their buying club or as a negotiated price . If I mention these places and not being a ' sponsored' climber, this would still be advertising. Perhaps I should be mentioning that I don't buy at retail for that purchase.

* fine print, any similarity to real or dead entities is almost co-incidental!*
