eKat is correct, they turned into ABCOM but are long defunct.
Alan Pietrasanta, the owner, is still in Bishop and works for Rousek Toys.

Brings back memories. I have an old swami, belay seat and a haul bag made by BMW.

Very cool stuff. Anybody have pictures?

There have been some really great and well-crafted stuff made by gifted individuals from small shops over the years. That would make for an interesting thread. Anybody still have the old Strawberry Mountain Works swamis or chalk bags? Those were the shiz BITD.

Rivendell Mountain Works is back. Bought a new Jensen pack a little while back. It's a finely crafted tool, sturdy as hell, and carries medium loads like a dream. Has minor modifications that stay completely true to Don Jensen's design and make it even better than my original Jensen pack. http://www.rivendellmountainworks.com/about-our-packs/jensen-packs/
