short answer is no, dad. but i have been selling a bunch of gear tho mostly aid stuff. almost sold my haul bag but that was going to make me sad. probably will never see another wall but i'm pretty sure i can stuff a bunch of quads and camera equipment in there. scuba gear too.
oh... and the circulation problem in my hand is worse so i simply cannot climb when it's cold. and i might have some sort of joint degeneration going on in my feet so that causes pain.
this week was the first time I've been climbing in many months. probably last time roped up was vedauwoo in august.
I guess to add to that further I've decided that things are going to be very different when I turn 50 (21 months). I hope to be able to give up my programming job and do a variety of things that will serve me and the planet a lot more. really getting into photography and videography - doing all three "phases": land, sea and air.
This is a frame the Deucey designed - porta-quad.com. When he goes back to the Karakorum he's bringing one of these. it'll make route finding through the ice field a lot lot easier.
This one will eventually carry a gimbal for my cannon S100. it also carries a gopro on a gimbal.
My first love... now all rebuilt. trying to mount a gopro on the front with a gimbal.

25+ years of shoving feet into climbing shoes will leave a mark.
I just bought electric glove liners so that will help. tho not with climbing. but yes to climbing in warm climate. also why I dive in warm water. that's another direction i'm pursuing - should finish instructor cert in a year or so then off to Thailand. pretty sure Tonsai is butt ass warm all the time :)

Nature, I have the same problem with the hands; the circulation just shuts off at the slightest hint of cold. One of the treatments is blood pressure medication, calcium channel blockers, which open the blood vessels in the hands. It is one of the treatments for Raynaud's. So far the one I'm taking hasn't worked for me but it has for 2 people I know with the same problem. I've got a sh#t ton of ice gear that I might never use again and that is very depressing because I love ice climbing and winter sports in general. These gloves work pretty well but not good enough to ice climb as they only last about 2 hours on high heat as it was 24 degrees when I climbed.

Thanks everyone but i'm not in that bad of shape.
I switched to TCPros right before I went to India. That changed my world for the better.
I'll look a little deeper into this circulation issue. Someone here was kind enough to send me an email with a lot of valuable information at the end of winter last year. I sort of let it go since things were warming up and my hand wasn't bother me. guess i should go back and find that email and do something about this.
Or I'll just move to Thailand.
Steve - delivering sushi is just one plan. Deucey asked me if i want to help him market his porta-quad.com. I'm also working on writing a book with The ReverendPaganMonkeyBoy on how to build and fly these things. I also volunteered at sardrones.org.
