Silent Auction for the Access Fund

  Hey fellow climbers!  As some of you are probably aware, I have been actively working with various Access Fund Team members in recent years in efforts to secure local Adirondack Bouldering areas as well as keep some of the local climbing areas clean.  Last weekend, we had a very productive weekend in the southern portion of the Adirondack Park.  Details can be found on previous blog posts:

  Now, in an attempt to help give back to the Access Fund I am seeking buyers for various rock climbing gear that I have acquired during my Adirondack Bouldering Guidebook project and publication.  Climbing companies were trading me gear in exchange for full page color advertisements and now I am donating some of the items towards the Access Fund cause.  Here is how I would like to move forward with the sales:


  1. All of the items will be listed on this page for the next two weeks.
  2. If you are interested in any of the items, please email me your bid at southernadirondackclimber (at) gmail (dot) com
  3. At the end of each day, I update this page with the current highest bid for each item
  4. On Monday September 26, 2016 at midnight I will close the silent bid and all of the highest bidders will be announced for this generous purchase (which will act as a donation to the Access Fund)
  5. ALL of the funds generated from this sale will be going directly to the Access Fund to help offset theirs costs on the recent land acquisition
