I was wondering if anyone had an old Gramicci ledge they would like to part with. looking in the range of a first or second generation model, circa 77-88? The first 450 or so had a serial # on one of the ends and the date is within that.

Post up or email me.

tomtom that’s an interesting arrangement!

That thing underneath is a bit bazaar? We never did anything like that. Never sold them for $750 either. If I remember right they were around $250 maybe.

From what I can tell it does look like an older 6 strap model. I think they are asking a bit much for it though.

Thanks for posting it

I wish I still had my first generation one Mike, I'd a shared had it not been stolen. (ps got 'the sutff' wearing 'em now I have missed button flies!)
We did Excalibur with one of those wall condo's. Worked fine, but everyone wakes up when anyone pee's. Probably true of any multi folk ledge, though.

Glad you got them so soon Jay, send me some feedback after you had a chance to use them.

The first generation ledges (cliff dwellings) had a cable connection to the 6 point rigging.

BJ’s model if I’m right has Kelty pack frame shackles on the corners to connect the rigging. Also a six point system.

BJ, thanks for giving me your purchase date it helped me decipher the serial #, bed 231 made in May 84.

A very short sighted numbering system.

Thanks guys
