Cold Thistle Tools: Yard Sale

Last updated 10/10/14

Early Spring '17 yard sale...

Part of last year's bumper crop. Time for me to pull the bindings, change boots and move on...

This blog topic will be a regular feature.   I will update it daily or as required. The gear listed here is NEW or LIKE NEW past some field testing.   I guarantee you'll be pleasantly surprised at the condition of the gear for sell here.   On the RARE occasion it isn't in the very best  condition I mention the fact and I make sure you know the actual condition before your purchase.  I've tried to price it according to what I have in it. But not everything listed here was bought on a pro deal. Items listed will change on a daily or weekly basis as they come and go.

Much of the cream of the outdoor specialty world is eventually here. I don't review, buy or sell 2nd best.    But I can't keep or use it it all. I'd ratehr see it used than hanging or sitting in my gear room being wasted.

*If you are interested in something don't hesitate to buy it immediately on Pay Pal.*

Ten minutes later it might well be gone and deleted from the thread. If it is listed I actually have it or I'll refund your money in full just as quickly. When I have recently posted items for sale (every month or so) I do not leave the web site unattended for long.

If you like the Cold Thistle blog, here is a way to support those efforts and get a great deal in the process. Pay Pal is the easiest way to handle a transaction here. We are both protected that way. I'll ship anywhere you are willing to pay for. Prices DO NOT include the shipping. I prefer USPS if that is acceptable. We can square away the shipping costs via email.

email and Pay Pal is rdburns@cnw.com

Prices are firm, Pay Pal only for payment.

Easy to miss so I'll repeat it.
Prices are firm as listed, Pay Pal only accepted for payment

If you don't use Pay Pal don't bother asking. Pay Pay charges the seller (me) minimum fees and is easy/free to sign up and use. I buy and sell a lot of gear as I write about it on Cold Thistle. I am not into dicking around trying to sell it. Prices as marked and you pay the shipping. I ship within 24 hours of payment via US mail.  * If you want it..don't ask me silly questions via email...simply send the amount required via Pay Pal. Then I am happy to answer your questions and refund your money if you aren't satisfied with the answers. There are NO REFUNDS once the item is shipped*

Dynafit Huascaran, 196cm. This ski was mounted with a Speed Radical for a 28 shell size boot.
This a big surfy ski @ 115 under the foot. Another ski I really like. It is big , bad and will go any where.   You'll want toi make sure you have the boots and the legs to drive this one. But if you are looking for an amazing soft snow or heli board and have the stones to drive a 196 this is an exceptional ski. Mildly rockered tip, up turned pin tail and light weight by comparison to others. No problem holding an edge with these on ice, surfing a spline or ripping a straight shot at max warp. I am keeping a short pair of Huascarans for back country missions in tight terrain. Lovely ski! These have freshly stone ground and prepped bases and edges. Better than new.

retail : $899.

ski? $300

Boots? Again all in exceptionally good condition. Many of them are virtually "new". Ask me via email first if you have condition specific questions. I can only use and climb in so many boots and skis.   My gear room isn't that big. So if any of these interest you.....all are screaming deals for condition and price.

Dynafit TLT6 Carbon.   MSRP $1000
This is the last of the TLT6 models. IMO it is the very best SKIMO climbing boot made with an emphasis on skiing. I bought several pairs in both 28 and 29. I am selling my spares in both and the boots in the smaller size.

Price reflects condition...

TRAD shoes

Boreal ACE is a fully lined, medium stiff, all-around, low cut shoe equally competent climbing micro-edges, cracks and friction slabs. The ACE has probably been used to put up more hard crack climbs in Yosemite, Indian Creek and Joshua Tree than any other shoe - except maybe the BALLET GOLD. If you wear a men's 10.5 US street shoe (UK9.5) order this size for comforatable crack climbing and long routes. I you want the ACE to be "stiffer" for standing on knobs and thin edges go down 1/2 size to a UK9. Like new, USA 12 $100 plus shipping. ($139. retail)

Boreal, bright blue Ballet Gold, size 10.5 UK, 44.5 Euro, minor wear on a new set of thin C4 soles by Remuta when the shoe was new and prior to climbing on the original. $50
