I was fortunate enough to be able to head up to Theron's and help out over the weekend. A great group and a damn cool project. If everybody knew how much time, effort and patience (and care) went into this, no one would be whinging.
Thanks again everybody. Great work of art (and especially, long-term utility)!

Looking back through this thread, it's amazing the amount of work Theron and crew put into these awesome hammers.
Damn.

All the way to Tasmania...
Thank you very much Theron, Joseph, Munge, and all the others who made this possible. I am pleased and honored my design has been superbly brought back to production, 25 years later. Cheers, John Middendorf.

It is all of us who need to thank you John. Your sweet, well designed and built hammer seemed to be selling for a substantial premium over what the competition use to go for back in the day. The quality was worth the price, but for those of us who always wanted an A5 hammer but didn't have any money, the D5 gave us a chance to get something we had wished for in our youth. Furthermore, your free sharing of both design knowledge, prints, sourcing and build issues was critically important.
I understand that even though Conrad didn't own the rights for the hammer so no permission was needed from him, I still hope that the Kumbu Sherpas were happy recipients of the largess and generosity. Folks are damn poor over there and they can use all the help they can get.
Anyone get a $ count on how much we were able to help them?
Win win win. Woot!

I have a bunch of handles and leashes left over. Some tangs and rivets also. They are just taking up space and I'd love to get rid of them at cost plus shipping. I'll dig the prices up shortly and post them until then you can dig them up out of the previous info. Contact me by PM through this site or through http://mosesclimbing.com/contact-us/ .

(2)Tangs = 3.18
Handle = 2.84
Leash = 2.72
Tang Nail/Rivet = 0.20
Shipping? I hate flat feeing everybody and overcharging some but it is the easiest. $8.00 to ConUS via UPS.
Pay by Check, Money Order, or Paypal. We don't take no stinkin' credit cards.
I'll get back to those who emailed tomorrow with the same info.

I'm pretty sure #44 is the first D5 up the Trip. It got used to tap a few fixed pin on P5 back in place after 6 months of freeze thaw, but the biggest use was smashing cans at the top.

I somehow missed when I posted back to Theron about the spare parts...
John, seconding Couchmaster's comments, it was definitely our pleasure to be able to bring it back - it is just a superb piece of design and engineering. The group of us who built them appreciate that all the more having reproduced it as well as we could. Feel the same way about your rope buckets of which I have five of now and just got outbid on another one the other day on ebay.
"Brilliant!" is what I believe they say Down Under - so, thanks so much for all your help on the project and I hope all is well with you and yours down in Tasmania.

Mine has put in anchors, a few lead bolts, and a few pins on two new routes in the desert:
FA of the Siren, a previously unclimbed tower in Desolation Canyon:
FA of Moon River on the Forward Lookout in Mee Canyon:
Great hammer.

I'm still looking for a new holster - the kind made of plastic, semi-rigid, that you put on a belt. Anyone?

But will it be kosher, and halal? If I can't use it on Saturdays, that won't be a lot of help.
