Once again want to thank everyone. The climbing gym is now letting our students climb for $5 a pop if we can supply the gear. You guys are making a difference.

Happy to pay for shipping. Just got our first money donation. I am working on getting a paypal account set up to simplify things.

Dave, I'm a size 42, but no, I won't nab any rubber. I'm even going to toss my beloved Mythos into the donation box this evening at the gym. It is going to hurt a bit, but it's worth it. I am new to this site and don't know if a person can post pics, but I will make a facebook page or something to show you guys how your efforts are making a difference.

I think I have a couple of harness that are in great shape old but kept in a bin out of the sun and not near my marine battery collection.
Interested and I will,did them out and send them.
I don't use them as apparently the older you get the rounder you get amd well let's just say a large is a wee bit small for my fat ass.

I sent a package yesterday - I'm sure the staff at the gym can show you how the figure 8s are used for belaying. Look for the envelope in the box...
Here is a bump for you. My sister teaches art at an inner city school in CT and has a budget of $1000 annually for supplies for about 500 students. Beside scrounging for donations of materials, trying to obtain grants, and extensive use of recycled material, she also spends $2000-3000 a year of her income to buy supplies.
Teachers spending their own money to help out the students is very common, but no less heroic for being common. Thanks for what you are doing.

Will,
I'll hook you up soon. I have a few pair and some basic gear to give. Good on ya for gettin' some of those kids into the "sport" and hopefully someday into the mountains. Remind me if I forget if/when you see me at the gym.

Scott,
That is a great idea. Possibly an end of the year trip. I'll look for you at the gym. We are planning our first climb at MetalMark next Friday around 3:00 pm.

I have a lot of prototype or 'imperfect' chalk bags I'd be willing to send your way. They're totally functional; I just wouldn't want to sell them due to minor aestetic errors.
If you need some bags let me know :)
