This is awesome. I'm throwing away my Bionics immediately.
Who knew such hardmen existed in COME VISIT WASHINGTON, DC!!! (which apparently is a town near Middletown, Virginia)

Those mountain ice shoes look bizarre.
Look like something Frankenstien would wear to his wedding to the Bride of Frankenstien.

So those aren't WHAT THE PROS USE? Son of a bitch, I bought a pair of those from that seller last fall and ice climbed all winter in them as I climbed THE SERIOUS MOUNTAINS WHERE THE ROCK DISAPPEARS INTO THE DENSE SHADOWS OF ICE. I felt like they were MEANT TO PROVIDE ULITMATE SAFETY on those DENSE SHADOWS OF ICE.

lol - about the 17-yr old guy too! oh man i though it was bad enough until i read down lower... the "or a guy, I'm willing to experiment" thing really put the icing on the cake...
(.... be even better if it were a real ebay auction :cry: )

Good God!!!! I can't believe I've been wasting my time in those La Sportiva Nepal Extremes with a great set of BD crampons on them. I could have been climbing with real ice mountaineering boots LIKE THE PROS USE for a mere $11!!!! Damn I am such a fool!!

Oh yeah, if these are in "excellent" condition why does it look like all the bolts on the bottom and sides are rusting :lol: ?

You know, I was up K2 last week and struggling a bit. But then I saw a whole team of yetis go flying past me. They were roped together with barbed wire (it increases friction on the ice). Guess what - they were all wearing these "PROFESSIONAL MOUNTAIN CLIMBING ICE SHOES".

Those look great. Break out the French technique I guesse, unless you prefer to "front-NUBBIN" instead of "front-point".
WOW people are incredible. What happens when some kid buys these and dies on one of those MOUNTAINS WHERE THE ROCK DISAPPE.... etc. Sheesh!

I can't believe he's selling depends for men on there along with a Victoria's Secret hand-bag. That's quite a combination...along with the tin cans on your feet, I'd say you'd be one of the pros for sure!
