Made in Australia. Currently located in Mexico. He is not brand new, but has been used lightly, and taken care of (and has not been fallen on). Is slightly soiled, but in generally good condition.
Pictured here climbing in Red Rocks.

Make me an offer – will accept cash, or trade for climbing gear.

If I'm buyin' a climber, I at least want a rope gun, not a gear cleaner. :P
(And for God's sake, adjust your lid.)

I don't know Jay ... if he can cook, clean camp, ensure cold beer and haul gear, it just might work out! And you know what they say ... "You can dress 'em up but you can't take 'em out!" :wink:

I saw some climbers get bought with some green stuff to schlep loads to the base of el cap. Depends on what you'll work for I guess.

In reply to: If he does all that ...clean, especially provide beer, etc. then I trade you a broken ABC cam circa 1984
Hmmm, I'll keep the offer under consideration... I'm really holding out for something more from the late 80s though.
(Oh, and I forgot to mention, he can also lead 5.2s)

I've been thinking of starting a new cragside business called, "Chosstitutes." They would perform all of the above functions, belay competently, ropegun if necessary, set up camp, and keep your sleeping bag warm. It would be the perfect job for the broke climbing bum, male or female. Only weekend warriors would be able to afford the rates, so the rest of your days would be free to climb, not to mention you'd get free food for the weekend. Nitch escort services are one of the fastest growing industries in the country. I'm currently offering shares in the business, and recruiting my string. If you're interested in either position, let me know.

Man! That's an AWESOME deal. Wow! I'd pay $10,000 for a climber. How much are you willing to sell him for?

Yeah, whats the price? Now, what is it you will get exactly? Like will this climber need to be fed, and does he do windows and stuff like that too?
I'm upgrading my carabiners and can trade my old Petzl Spirits and a long dong if that would work for you.

How about an old figure 8? Still solid enough to twist your rope!! Picked it up in the late 80's ... antique, soon it will be!!

Well, I'll probably just take the best offer. I think the $10,000 is currently beating the role of toilet paper and the broken cam... however, billcoe's offer below is rather tempting too.

For the price you would get the climber transported to your doorstep (or a convenient crag for pickup). The climber does need feeding, but can usually get by with foraging if you let him out for a few hours each day. And he'll do windows and odd jobs too, although his area of expertise is really in belaying, and leading 5.2s.

A figure 8 would be awesome! One of the nice heavy ones, that can double for use in weight training.... however, I can't help but think how many figure 8s I'd be able to buy with $10,000.

Ok .. Ok ... go for the 10 grand. When you're done spending the money, I'll still have a figure 8 :evil:

I prefer to buy my climbing partners because if the going gets tough I can just wack them on the head with my #9 rockcentric and eat them. Great back up plan if you need it.

I don't know... bne's mad leading skill is highly desirable. Rumor has it that he can lead (or has attempted to lead) 5.10s sport without even bringing any quickdraws. And he has proved his superior lead head on a pitch of well protected 5.0 trad. Your lack of "lead mode" has severely reduced your market value, I mean, why would I pay $10,000 for a belay slave, when I can buy a Wren Industries Silent Partner for the low low price of $225? Although being in Virginia, your proximity offset some other costs associated with bne, like, the ridiculous shipping fee I have to pay the human traffickers to smuggle him from Mexico into the US in a piñata. Even so... I think $10,000 is still too much.
