Yes, Stephane Pennequin of the 'Nut Museum' is a very nice guy, a photographer and climber who lives on the island of Corsica off the coast of France. He has been at it for decades and has one of the best - and best researched and documented - collections of gear and prototypes on earth. He works tirelessly at this and has established good relationships with most of the gear designers over the years and many, many of them have donated very rare gear and prototypes. Stephane is also working on a permanent home for the collection. My guess it will likely end up with the Brits, and while that remains to be seen, he'll make sure it finds a good home when the time comes.
I'm just one of many folks here who have donated gear and also monitor ebay in the States for occasional gems. Stephane - along with Ken Yager (Yosemite Climbing Museum), Marty Karabin (US-based collector), Dr. Gary Storrick (Descenders and Ascenders) - are all due our thanks for their dedication in preserving and documenting our collective heritage. Technically these may be private collections for now, but much, much history would be lost were it not for their efforts. Also, their wives and kids are due our thanks as well, as this does take time and funds, and none of these families are rich or particularly well-off. I don't have the dedication for this sort of work, but I sure am glad someone does, for all our sake.
Thanks guys!!!

This is probably as good a place as any to say I've been trying to assemble a couple of sets of HB Alloy (aluminum) Offset Nuts a piece at a time and am looking to buy individual nuts, entire sets, and / or am looking to trrade #7's, #10's, or #11's in exchange for #8's and #9's. PM me if interested in any of the above.

I noticed that you put the phone in the trad rack and the aid rack. Is that piece that versitile? I've been thinking about getting a few of those, maybe not a whole set, but at least black through silver...
hosh.

Should we start with the fact that you said "there" when you really intended to use "their"?
Couldn't resist...
So what did you get?
And the France comment? There's a lot of sport climbing in France, so you'll finally be able to use all those draws...
hosh.

thats F%$#ing awesome. although 10 bucks says that you buy some piece of climbing gear within the next couple of weeks. it what gear whores do...we buy and buy and buy until we think that we have all the gear we will ever need--but then BAM! you see that one piece of gear and you just cant resist yourself. You walk over to it pick it up and think to yourself now this is one fine piece of climbing gear, i know i dont need it, but i am a gear whore and i know i will be able to use it somehow. so you buy it and then it repeats again and again and again.

WoW Hibby, what thorough pictures you have. I'll give you a point for each pic but the layout of the gear earns no style points.
Nice looking rack though.

Sure it cost alot,
Hell a single cam costs alot. I just went for it though, and once I did the math, buying alot at one time, like this, is going to put me far ahead in the long run, and its more than I thought I would ever have.Anyways, the zeros and three camlots came in yesterday. I WANT TO SELL OR TRADE ONE SILVER ZERO. I HAVE NO USE FOR TWO. Ideally, I would trade it for another larger size. Send me a pm if you have an offer, there NWT and Longstem.
