Here's the deal; We're leaving for Telluride on Wednesday morning for the Bluegrass festival, and want to go hit a 14er while we're there, probably Mt Sneffels. A TR posted here shows what it's like now, and crampons and ice axes are clearly needed. Ice axes, I have - but I don't have crampons :( Anyone have some sitting in a closet we could borrow for a bit?
I know WSU rents them pretty cheap... maybe the U does too?
Not 100% sure, but I think Black Diamond rents them out. I think they even have the strap-on version.
huh huh, you said "strap-on."Quote:

bd rents
REI rents crampons.
Say "Hi" if you come in tonight.
Thanks gang; the only problem with renting is we're going to be on a 10 day road trip, so the rental rates start to get a bit punishing when you hit those lengths, especially for one days use!!! I think we're got this figured out, though - thanks for the help!
I'd help you out, but I have a 'project' that requires crampons in the very near future.
... me too ;) ; otherwise you'd be more than welcome to mine alsoQuote:

edit: or just rent in T'Ride for needed days
X: ...thought about that too, but then if I own them, I'll start ending up saying stuff like this...
...and probably end up killing myself chasing around you and TH. :wink:Quote:

BTW, Xover, you should come down to Bryce Canyon with us in July and run the half-marathon, I hear it's a blast...starts at ~7600' and ends at ~5800'!!!
^ that's my kind of half
you should try the Downhill Dash in September up at Alta
will be the fastest 5 miles you'll run in your life
too bad it tears the chit outta your feet and knees
I've got a pair that you can use. Give me a shout. I'm pretty sure you've got my digits. If not, a PM works.
