mountaingear.com linkupgear.com rockcreekoutfitters.com REI.comBefore having the kids, I was a pretty hardcore climber. Bagged a couple of 14,000 footers in CO. My only advice is don't skimp on gear. Buy the best you can afford. I've seen lots of people crater, just because the went the cheap route on equipment. Dangerous hobby my man, I quit so I wouldn't orphan my kids. have fun, be safe ------------------ Zebo Daddy rocks!

Not as often as I used to. Climbing is a lot harder at 210 than it was at 160. I get all my gear from REI.com. The dividend helps to pay for other neccessities.

Its gonna take some time.------------------ COME AND CHECK OUT TheRealJ's Board. =http://pub33.ezboard.com/btherealjspad Lift Until You Die!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check out ebay, got some good stuff there. I have a brand new harness that I've never worn because it is slightly to big. I'll have to find it, don't even remember the brand now.
