This is the girliest thing I have ever posted...
I saw a climber a couple weeks ago with some AWESOME carabiner earings. She said I could find them online, but I'm having some trouble. The only place I could find them had a pair for over $60! I'm not into spending too much money on this kind of thing, but I really want a pair.
Does anyone know a good place to pick up a pair? Or, if anyone lives in the Los Angeles area, a good store? I've also seen a cute pair of earings with a climber that latches onto your ear, but I can't seem to find those anywhere.
Any help would be much obliged.

I actually have those earrings - and the matching Ice Axe necklace!
My Hubby gave them to me for a Christmas gift a few years back.
I love em!! :D There is nothing 'girly' about Carabiner Earrings and an Ice Axe necklace. . . . it's more Climbing Hottie, I'd say.
When I wear them to work it's a conversation starter to say the least!
Buy them!!!

I like the sound of that..."climbing hottie." I'm going to go with that instead of "girlie."

Those bolt earrings? CUTE.
For serious. And I'm not really an earring type of gal.

oh man, a bolted nose ring? Now that I like!
The necklaces with the figure 8 chain and working carabiner are way too fun too...

The big question now is...do I buy it for myself or wait until Christmas and convince someone else to buy it for me? :wink:

My thoughts exactly! I'm itching to order them myself, but I could easily sneak the suggestion to someone for Christmas... :roll:

Well, I can't see if these you are all talking about are like mine that came in my stocking last Christmas. But I have the necklace with two eight knots and the locking caribiner(and earrings but they are permantly shut). I wear it all the time- not much of a conversation starter in these parts though. I think many people are at a loss of what to ask (because they have no idea what it is).
But of all people! My mother one day over dinner said "Is that a carabiner?" She knew that word! Our one day we took her out to the rock to see that we are safe- she learned a word too. I was pretty impressed.

When I saw the this topic, I thought you were talking about wearing real 'biners in your ears. I have seen people who stretched their lobes and had carabiners in them.

Over the summer, I knew a girl that wore part of a cam on some 2-3mm acc. cord. That doesn't sound like a great thing to wear around your neck, but it was pretty neat. Give it a try with a booty cam...
