You'll be able to buy them about the same time the A5 hammer project is finished...

Their a myth. They don't exist. Never will.
Somehow I no longer have my #8-10, but have 2 #11's, WTF? I should try drilling out my #11's, those things is HEAVY!
I also have three #1's, but only ever bought one. I bootied one from the Washtington Column bivy spot one year, and another a year later. Why the butter fingers for that size?
PS, Where'd you get the pic Healyje? Do you have any inside info besides "soon"?

Moof, got it from a friend in the EU - I have no idea when they might ship other than it sounds hopeful that it will be soon given the poster above is saying they're selling them in the UK. I agree that it completely sucks they changed the colors.

Cool beans. Sure enough, a bunch of UK sites are claiming they have them on hand. Hopefully the pipeline will get them moved over to the states quickly!
Healyje, your rusky cuffs are done. I can mail them, drop them at Bill's work, meet you at PRG, or meet you next time you are headed to the West side of town. They came out pretty darn nice.

Moof, thanks for the rusky aider cuffs, should be interesting.
Let's figure out a night at the PRG and I'll bring that Portacord pack I need modded.

Just heard back from DMM's US rep that they should start trickling in here and there next week.

Thanks for the update on that HealyJ. I've heard great things about the old HB's from some old-school folks I've been climbing with in Red Rocks this spring. I'm looking forward to getting a set of these to fill out my rack.

It's apparently a peculiar story, but DMM doesn't hold the rights to manufacture the small HB Offsets Brass Nuts. They are being made, however, and are available exclusively through the Yosemite Mountain Shop at:

I got a second set of the Brass ones last year. They are I-fricking-dentical to my old ones (except shinier). I was impressed. Then I went to the register with about 1 oz of metal and was impressed again. Or was it depressed? $75, plus tax, for #2-6. Sheesh.

I was in Moab this last weekend and both the climbing shops had a few sets of them. Pagan and Gear Heads. You can always Call Pagan and have them shipped to you... They looked almost fake with that tricked out anodized finish.
