I don't know. I was looking for something more in the way of a microlicious rainbow ledge.

I think you'll make more money if you leave it in your garage and register it on airbnb.com :)
But then you might need to provide toilet access. Or give them a poop tube?

Might want to look into some liability coverage on that, or at least get a bomber waiver printed up. Just sayin'.

So you're selling your ledge for $275.00? That's a killer deal.

Rent or buy, great deal!
Maybe you could rent it out to Adam Gill - Lord of the Gays! [do you guys remember the banner that Neil and Callum put under their ledge when we climbed Continental Drift?]

This Just In,
That's funny man.
I will be doing a thorough vetting of potential renters. Trust me, there will be profiling involved. It seems most climbers believe in Karma, so stealing my portaledge would be way bad juju.

There is a good likelihood that I will be in need of a ledge this October, unless someone in Bishop has one I can borrow. . .I was thinking about buying one, but would obviously prefer not to!

Locker: Is that some sort of rubber piton??? I can't really see how it works, do you hand place it or use a hammer? What's the best method for getting it deep into a tight crack??? How do you store it??? I don't see any way to clip it to my harness!!!

Seriously guys? A double portaledge is not worth having a pissed off dentist chase you down. That can get real medieval real quick.

This is a Very cool idea! I'll be interested to see how it works out. Makes me want to do some more el cap routes...
Should I rent out my bouldering pads? It's gonna cost more to use the vintage Fish maxipad, once stolen in Las Vegas...

Ha! Just had my first taker. I decided to loan it rather than rent it. The trip sounded too rad and they need the gas money. The ledge is being put in the mail today for a wall up in BC.
Had my attorney write up a waiver, though none was needed as the BD inherent risk pamphlet was still attached and no money has changed hands.
Just one dude loaning another dude a surfboard basically. Stoked for these guys and glad to help. Its better than sitting in my barn all Fall.

Sure signs of a fuctup economy.
There is a car "for sale or rent" on the local bulletin board.
Never seen that (piss-poor) before.

There are little smart cars that you can rent in san diego, I know a few people that use them on the reg just to get to work, its convenient but its not worth it in the long term, they charge you per mile.
Speaking of "community" services I've been thinking about starting a mobile mechanic service marketed towards dirtbag climber types and vandwellers, or essentially people that don't want their dirtbag trips cut short by car troubles and having to spend a grand or two just to get home. I'll accept payments in USD, cases of beer, cams, and belays.

Hey Jane, I'm sending you an email as we speak but the ledge is all yours for your upcoming wall! Basically, I haven't "rented" it since I started this post.....I just keep loaning it out as I can't seem to bring myself to the point of charging anybody. It has been up el Cap via a few routes and guys have taken good care of it. It is in The Valley now.......how bout this, I'll tell you where to pick it up (it is with a friend who lives there) and your "payment" is to bring it back to me in Fresno when your wall is done! How does that sound?
I think I'm gonna nuke this thread and take it off the market. Its starting to show a bit of use and it has been fun to share it with strangers and hear of their success and failures. It has seen some nice terrain, but I don't want this thread to keep showing up on GOOGLE searches for "Portaledge Rental"!
I'll shoot you an email soon and we'll get you dialed in. I admire your stoke and your grit and look forward to the TR.
Take care,
Scott
