Pretzel harness. Hmm. I vote guy who works good job, had climber buddies, thought he would start climbing. Went to Philly Gs and had one of the kids there outfit him with what he needed, and then never went once. Now he lost his job due to the economy and wants to sell his three to five year old equipment he never used.

I think so
sure...you wanna go halves?
sure, at least get some good gear, if it really has never been used then its probably not stolen, at least not from a climber, maybe just an outfitter

if it has initials on it somewhere, we'll need some nail polish or small files to cover our tracks.

Well that harness isn't worth a $100, and I sure doubt the rope cost more than $150 new....
I've been a gumby longer than you've been climbing.

that has never stopped climbers from eating their young and making bold blanket statements about how important they are and how sick their latest proj is gonna be when it goes down.....gumbies are merely a tasty snack before ripping into any non climbers who actually produce something to contribute to society.
