Climbing Holds - $300 (Austin, Texas)
Reply to: sale-668740539@craigslist.org
Date: 2008-05-05, 12:40PM CDTA selection of 137 climbing holds from several companies:
revolution • crater holds • metolius • woody’s holds • nicrosalso, some mesquite wood jugs lathed and sanded, excellent condition and super solid.
**hardware NOT included**
the box is around 80 lbs. and i will not mail these. PICK-UP ONLY.
i can meet you somewhere in austin to trade off if necessary.
What, autocratic Craigslist ads? Yeah, those, but also it seems like people are always getting jaded on the home climbing wall. It make us hesitate to build one in the SendAustin office, although we oft fantasize about it. Anyway, if you wanna build a wall or pimp out your’s, this guy will not send these to you, but you can go pick them up. And no hardware. And on his Flickr you can read comments urging him to deal with whatever it is an keep the wall.

Aha! someone found my ad!!!
YES, it was a super heartbreaker moving from a house (in san angelo, texas) to an austin shoebox and realizing that i can’t take the wall with me.
the process of deciding to sell the holds was tough. what can i say? i need the clams, capisce?
anyway, thanks for the exposure!
p.s.- i actually have the hardware, i’m just reticent to *charge people for it because the wall was under a porch, but still outside. some of the bolts are a little rusty-ish. here’s the link to the wall building process: http://www.flickr.com/photos/slopjop/sets/72157594297654402/
behold the paint job! cheers mate! and again, thanks for the exposure!
