Auction is for a full, professional trad rock climbing rack consisting of 42 items. As can be seen from the pics, most of the gear is new although there are also one or two used items included. Of the latter, nothing is damaged though of course, there are a few rope rub marks, kit bag or placement scratches etc though nothing major. The NEW items have been highlighted in the list below.
It really is a nice, lightweight rack, which, in my opinion, would be as suited to a climber who is just stepping up from ‘Scrambling’ as it would be to an experienced climber who is looking to purchase a range of quality climbing gear to supplement their own existing rack.
To supplement the wealth of passive protection, I have also included a few Wild
Country Helium cams for those moments when one needs to protect an awkward
crack.
Using the gear shown here, two confident and suitably experienced climbers would be able to: – belay from base of climb, lead climb, build either an equalised three-point anchor or a sliding X anchor, belay from anchor point in ‘Safe Guide Mode’, abseil from, or ascend pretty much any multi-pitch mountain route.
Winning bidder will not be disappointed.
The gear is boxed up and ready to post. Hit ‘Buy It Now’ before midday (Monday to Saturday) and I will guarantee (where possible) same day postage.

SUMMARY
There are 42 individual items included in this rack. The cost new would be considerable. Therefore, I have listed it at what I believe to be a respectable second hand price. This really is a great way to acquire a nice trusted rack to either supplement your own rack or to build upon and fine tune to your own requirements.
