The jacket is a size extra small - I think there were no mens and womens clothing then, just unisex, so today it is probably a women's small. My husband bought it for me right after we met and I first started climbing (1981). But then, naturally, by climbing in Yosemite Valley, I became so massively strong and huge that the jacket soon no longer fit. It's sat in storage ever since. Time for it to go to a new generation!

I'll donate $1,000 bucks if you can get me up El Cap. If I decide after pitch 10 I've had enough, it's on me. Seriously..anyone?? (this is not a troll, nor meant to stir up 50 posts of bull@#$@). I'm laid back, have common sense, in good physical shape, and don't mind work.

Chris-
You are a little unclear what you are looking for. Vintage? New? Dollar value?

Lurking Fear, Zodiac, Nose....pretty open. Just want to avoid the crowd when possible. I'm OK with jugging and hauling. Just need someone with experience. It gets awfully cold in SD, so something later in the season when crowds have thinned out would be pretty cool. This is probably a one-shot deal says the wife. If anyone's serious, shoot me an email.

My apologies if the answers were already there and I missed.
1) When and where would the auction be? If it's not decided now, will it be announced later?
2) I know retailers do not take back any climbing gear because they are deemed unsafe to resale. I have an almost new harness that I bought and decided too big right away. Is that something that can be auctioned off? Also, what about used but perfectly safe (no fall) helmet? I can wash it, but I don't know what people feel about buying used helmets, so I'm not sure if shipping is worth it due to the volume.
Just curious. I'm sure you guys get all sorts of donations for the auction. What's the percentage that gets auctioned off? What are usually hot items? I don't want to pass on to you something that I see usable value but nobody wants. Thanks, Chris!

"Auction starts June 1" from up thread.
Past auctions have been done online. Just a guess on my part.
"Anything worth over $50"..... I believe I have seen used gear of all types auctioned off in the past.

Thanks for highlighting the obvious. That helps someone like me. :p
Oh... $50+. Got it. Hmm... do I own anything that valuable (besides my cams)? Will look around.

More gear will be shipping shortly. (Unadulterated cuteness not included.)
The haul bag is made of some uber-rare XXX oz vinyl. Built on the Grade V chassis it has all the other features of a Grade VI (burlier 2" webbing, rain sleeve, and even a blowhole so you don't have to cut apart your investment when it fills with slurry and threatens to be immovable from your anchor.)
This is the lender bag that, in its own small way, launched the career of SuperTypo star Vitaliy--four days on Lost Arrow Spire! It has also been up on the Captain, .5 Dome, and the Column.
Good enough for a freakishly talented nurse, some traveling Swiss, and wicked smart engineering students from back east, now reduced to mere clutter.
Pony up some coin and help out the ASCA.
Peace and falafel grease.
