Has anyone joined the Ellis Brigham Climber's Club think you get 10% of all hardwear in store?

Hmm, I'd be interested if they give you a discount...

How do you join then?The b*stards don't give a discount to anyone!Not YHA/NUS/BMC!

10% discount should bring the prices almost down to what everyone else charges then

They're not especially cheap, or good, so just shop somewhere else that gives BMC or other discount. They can shove their 'climbers club' whatever it is.

In reply to mike Jones: They are basically a ski shop these days, might as well go somewhere else that will give you BMC discount.

Nope, no discount still!

Also, anyone got a suunto vector watch-Any good?Does it look ok under a shirt etc?Is it waterproof enough to wear in shower and stuff?How accurate is the altimeter?

It's bulky and doesn't sit well under shirt cuffs. It is very waterproof (i've happily worn mine when swimming a number of times) and the altimeter is based on barometric pressure, so its accuracy depends entirely on what the pressure is doing, but that's how every wrist-mounted altimeter works, so it's no better or worse than any other I'd imagine, I've certainly never had any problems.

>s it waterproof enough to wear in shower

Do you normally time yourself in the shower, if so could I recommend a very good egg timer that works in most places.

you can also look on the local OS map to find the alitude of your shower within 20ft, of course the wearing it with a shirt and wondering if it looks good means you must be a very well dressed walker, with creases in your ron hills

Thanks for that Sutty, Im just a gear freak *sigh*, I like my toys, 'cept GPS which I think is a bit over-rated.Just in need of a nice watch, that makes me look a bit more extreme-I find mountaineeering gives me somet to talk about with the opposite sex...
