Does anyone out there in the community have a Valley Giant or a Big bro #4 that they would like to sell? I only need it for one route and will probable never use it again.
Also looking for a silent partner if anyone has one laying around

What route and where are you located? Someone is more likely to loan one to you than sell one to you. Those who have VGs very rarely part with them, and for good reason. Tom makes a quality, dependable product.

There is a route called Danger High Voltage on the north shore of Minnesota. They say a camalot 6 does quite cut it, for a section of the climb. Its probably the only place I would use it around here so I wasn't looking to buy new.
So far in my search to borrow something, my friends and I are at a loss.

Backcountry.com has Big Bro's for 25% off right now. $93.71 for the #4, but that's expensive for just 1 climb.
You could go old school and use a wooden wedge with a #6 camalot :-)

I have exactly one VG12 in stock right now. I will have more VG9 cams in about a month.
The VG12 has the same size range as the #4 Big Bro. It has the advantage that it can be pushed up a crack. It has the disadvantage of being more complex to build, and it costs three times as much as the Big Bro.

SOLD OUT
I am making more cams, right now. Theron Moses is going to cut some lobes out for me. We did a trial run a couple of months ago, and it seemed to work out OK.
I don't know when he will get me my parts, because he is really busy right now - everyone is trying to get things done before Trump lights the WW III fuse.

Last Valley giant I've seen was Stretch at six feet 10 in a half inches.
He worked offshore oil rigs during the winter.
He packed a 44 magnum gun in his van, eat that you pussy anti gun nuts.
He was a big bro too, miss him .....

Theron promised me that he is finally cutting out my VG lobes this evening.
I will have some cams done by early next week.
