Some WC cams, ultra light stoppers, runners, tri cams, reverso and other climbing items. Good stuff! Wink

Nice knife... I have the 5500 auto. Best knife I've ever owned.

Edit for link

i had a 5500 that i traded something for but never really got to enjoy it before it got "misplaced" during a move. i do own the 3300 though and i never leave home without it

I'd be interested to know how well that Ghost works.
The ghost is great (10.2mm rope), but i had to leave camp around 1a.m.so i did not have a chance to try it w/ an icy rope the next day. Though this is the first auto blocker I've had the chance to use. I had a gigi for about 2 days and dropped down a crack while setting the first belay. Fair enough though, I tried fishing it out a year ago with a nut tool and some mason twine, but I got as econd set of BD micro wires on a wired oval.

This year I got clean underwear from my wife. That's it except for the $125 my mom gave me cause I never tell her what I want. I haven't been able to bring myself to actually open and use them yet....

Did I say they were clean? Clean boxers and clean briefs too. But not too many, so she has something to buy me next year.

I gave her Sapphire/diamond earrings, a thousand dollar gold bangle and some other practical stuff -25 year old Gold label Leonardi Extravecchio Balsamic cause she's a kick-assed cook, rewired the new coffee grinder our daughter bought for her so that there is a cut off switch, etc etc......next year I think shes getting underwear as well LOL! Nah, I'm kidding, we've been together 30 years now, she's done and given me a lot for me over the years.

LOL! Well, Christmas is her birthday. And we both avoid any mention of Valentines day, and do not celebrate our anniversary other than a kiss and a mention of it. Furthermore, she will immediately buy me stuff she sees on sale that she thinks I will appreciate. Like the last 3 gore-tex coats I owned, Mountain Hardware vest, gloves, were all bought by her. A kick assed road bike...etc etc... I'm just real hard to buy for as I have an unlimited credit card and if I see it and want it - I buy it.
