Looks like some stuff I cleared out of the darkest corners of the MUMC gear store 25 years ago..... ;D

Wow..that's an amazing collection. Belongs in a museum. Those old home made wires, I had a few of those in the 70s.

A bargain at half the price.

Look like Bashie's. And a great rack for a North Wall FA!

Not home made wires at all. Forrest ‘Copperheads’.

Hey bro’s kuu, BA, M9, and maybe a couple of others, here’s your chance to upgrade your rack on the cheap!

I ended up buying the gear. There is a heap of Chouinard, Leeper, Peck and Clog gear.

Really cool stuff!

Martin, I’d love too so much but I don’t think I could bring myself to scarring the rock on Ozy any further....

what’s the go these days with this style of aid?

Is it all clean aid ascents nowadays?

must have been 77 or 78 we took a huge collection of MUMC hardware which was no longer being used at buffalo to Rolling Stone Wall for a play as to quote Nick 'No-one cares about scars there " probably pretty true as not visited often these days with ti access from below blocked by the landowner

Fully agree Marky. Was on a fishing expedition seeing if I could hook an M9... ;-)

Martin,

I would say the expedition was a success!

You even bagged the “trophy fish”!!!! :)

Fair enough.

... but it wasn’t so much dalai, as your collusion with him that sucked me in!
Heh, heh, heh.

PS. I wondered at the time that you hadn’t read the admonishments in the 2006 (or previous) Mt Buffalo guidebooks, so answered in good faith assuming you might not be the only one with that mindset.

Already have too much rack bro.
Going to have to part my excess out to museums over time, so as not to flood the market!
