I'm having a clear out of surplus kit, all prices include postage and I would prefer to be paid by Paypal “gift” transfer. Bank transfer is an option too, message me for clarification if needed. I have included links with detailed descriptions/reviews on most things for sale here to give you impartial, factual information.
I never got from chalk to ice and cannot see how I will have the time or money to do so now the ML and SPA logbooks are looming over me. I bought a synthetic sleeping bag so I could be less protective of my kit when away on wet, muddy expeditions with uni and the trainers are a little tight for me (Salamons appear to size a little on the snug side). Other items are either hardly used or not at all.
Cumulus Quantum 200 Down Bag (left hand zip). £130
Incredibly Lightweight at 495g, packs down to a tiny size and works like a charm. Comfort rating 0 degrees, only ever used with a liner. Used 15< times.

Meindl Vakuum MFS Boots size 9.5 + Meindl Sport Wax. £90
Solid, memory foam lined luxury walking boots. These have no Gore Tex lining, but have been wax/sprayed/buffed on a regular basis and come with a new pot of Meindl Sport Wax. About a year old, the soles and uppers are still in great shape.

DMM Xeno axes with leashes. £140
Much like the Fly, but more a more bent shaft keeping your knuckles clear of ice/rock. These come with chokehold leashes, B rated picks and have been used less than 5 times. The middle of the shaft is taped with road bike handlebar tape (Cinelli glow in the dark for those curious!).
CAMP Vector crampons with bag. £50
Lightweight C2+ crampons ideally suited to B3 boots (ideal with the Raichles listed above) set to mono point. Wire bail and heel clip fastening, easily adjustable simpler version of the Vector Nano (£200ish a pair). Well used, but plenty of life left. DIY anti balling plate made on front right using EVA foam and lots of duct tape. Replacements available from CAMP stockists.

Salomon XA Pro 3D Ultra size 9 (black). £45
http://www.milletsports.co.uk/running/shoes/mens/salomon-xa-pro-3d-ultra-me...
These need little introduction. I bought these to be close fitting for Via Ferrata, but have done very little. These are still in great shape, I regret not buying a larger size!
Salomon Softshell size 9 (grey) £35
Taped seams, lightweight and comfortable. Foolishly bought in the same size as the XA Pros, so now up for grabs.
Lowe Alpine Polartec fleece lined windproof stretch beanie. £10
Lightweight, minimal skullcap fits under helmets or other hats without being bulky. Compact when stored in a pocket or bag.
Outdoor Designs Polartec Powerdry balaclava, used once. £5
Nothing wrong with it (my mate loves his) but I'd prefer a larger face hole.
I feel that the prices (including postage) are fair, however if you fancy a punt; make me an offer. Multiple purchases will be extra convenient and save on trips to the post office, I will pass the saving on to you.
