A long long time ago, in a galaxy far away, i loaned Zion National park a bunch of big wall gear for an interpretative display. I do not have a list, but i do recall providing a lot of gear, and just got a note from a ranger there that they would like to return it to me.

The gear would be an interesting snapshot of the state of the art gear of the 80's/90's, so i think it might be worthwhile to see if it can find a new home.

Is anyone out there who could help with this--or any ideas?

I bet there are some good "ho man! WTF is this?" pieces of ephemera in there.

Some ideas:

John,

I work for the park these days, and live in Springdale and would be happy to help you find a new home for the gear.

I remember seeing it in a pile in their archives room.

Thanks again for the info and help with regards to Zion history.

I am interested in finding an archival home for this lot--most of it was The actual gear used on fiirst ascents in Zion, Yosemite, and elsewhere. For example, the Clog ascenders are the ones i had on Great Trango Tower.

If there was a good display I could throw in the Gramici first gen (6 strap) ledge that I used on the FA of Prodigal and the T Bird, and other bits and pieces.

No love from the Zion Human History Museum in the old visitor's center?
