Hi Patrick-

I am going to have a massive cam sale on over 50 cams, plus some full sets of nuts and possibly other rock pro sometime around Christmas in Yosemite. I am selling these cams for a friend of mine who was severely overcammed and needed to sell off anything more than a triple set.

I don't have the list or the cams yet, but I will be getting that possibly around Dec 19.

So, if you are looking for cams, you might want to send me an email. Lots of old friends and a variety of everything will be in the sale.

If you need a size 12 Acopa JB (too big for me) brand new (well, I wore them for 1 gym session), I'll give you half price. Just sitting in a box in my closet.

What model/size Acopa are you looking for? I have an extra pair of the blue "street" model, size about 9/9.5. They are just too small for me and almost new. I'd be willing to part with them for very little if you could use them.

While I will probably buy a bunch of gear at Sunrise in Livermore (next Wednesday), are there any climbing shops in SF? I really want to buy a pair of Acopas.

Elcapinyoazz, so he did and while I thanked Chris for that list earlier on in this thread, I never got around to opening it (a bit busy right now, but no excuses), I guess I should have gone to that link before posting up again. Cheers.

Since I will be going to both the Valley and Tahoe, any place there to buy Acopas? I'd imagine gear is cheaper in the Bay Area than those two places.

Mtn shop in the valley was selling Acopa JBs last time I was there. You might give em a call and check for size etc.

I've found they run small for the size compared to most climbing shoes. I wear a street shoe at 9.5 or 10 depending on brand, fall right between on a brannock(sp?) device and have 10s in JBs and wouldn't mind going up another half size.

JB sizing depends, as I understand it, on what you're going to use them for...

OW and all day you want bigger,

edging you want smaller

Jeff, you might ask them what Acopa models Marmot stocks, last time I was in they didn't have everything....

That store in Arnold is so cool.
Up there in the middle of nuthin.
The Kayak section saved my bacon while on the way to do Boards Crossing.

I just called the mountain shop in the Valley, it doesn't care Acopas anymore. So the game plan next Wednesday is stop off at Marmot in Berserkly for Acopas and then Sunrise in Livermore for gear before driving off in the sunset to the Valley.

FYI Marmot does not have a full size run of any Acopas right now (I think). You might want to call the shop and ask if they have model/size you want. 510.849.0735
