I'd like to add to my collection. I prefer pre 70's gear (1920-1960s) but sometimes I'll buy all the way up to the early 80's. ..just depends.

Let me know!

I've got an old Chouinard Oval... Not an expert on old gear, but it is pretty old. Good shape, too. Found it clipped to a Nalgene clipped to a bolt halfway up a pitch on Idiopathic-- Same day we also discovered that Nalgenes really are bombproof... ;)

PM if you want it and I'll send pics.

I have an old piton from Layton kor pulled off the route ruper. The second I climbed with pulled it somehow and when she got to the top I was shocked she had gotten it out. It is from the fourth pitch. I got this in the early 2000s. Anyway. Is this something u would by.

Would love to trade for an old ABC prism if you have one

They look like they are. I will post a pic later. I wonder when they stopped making them under the Chouinard name?

bouldering at RRG

Back in early 70's, you had to tie your own piece of cord through a thick metal Chouinard hexentric nut; no wired versions back then down to about a size 4. The metal was a different alloy of aluminum than they use today, and much thicker on larger sizes. They drilled holes in them to lighten them up....and they crushed upon impact I understand quite a few times. I've got a couple various sizes,, 7 to 9,,,will give up 2 of them complete with their funky old perlon cords, shipped anywhere in the continental US for $35.00 priority mail. These are originals,used in 70's in the Gunks.
