oh... and also, if you wanna give your old ropes to dustin, i fully support that... but you could also donate them to sterling (that is, once dustin has enough old ropes that his heart is content)... just don't donate them to sterling during rocktoberfest, i want my chances at a raffle rope to be as high as possible... :)

funny that this thread wold show up today, I was just cleaning out my attic and wondering what to do with the bag of old shoes I have. Any suggestions. All I could figure was to critique my poor climbing technique, every single pair I have ever owned (apparently) has a blown left toe, I should fix that.

Why does sterling need ropes? I would have thought that they would have plenty.

It is kind of like giving a pot grower pot...

i've thought about this a lot too... i've thought about donating them to some gym or maybe somewhere else... i don't know... but then i thought, "who would want rock shoes with blown out toes..."

so, i dunno what to do with them... if anyone comes up with some good ideas, please share on here so that i can get rid of all my old rock shoes! thanks.

Oh so it is like giving pot grower seeds, and then have them sell the weed back to you...

I will give mine to local developers when I have them.

That's wrapped around a big cobble from the New River. I've done a couple glass jugs that way too.

The boy scouts could always use the shoes. I was never a boy scout, but I have worked with them some. Blown out shoes are way better then there boots. That is one good place to get rid of your shoes.
