FS: DMM Spectre wiregate quickdraws x12 (mint)

I've had these sitting in my bin of gear for a few years. They are essentially new (as in never fallen on, etc) and have only been dragged up three easy sport routes during one trip outside.

Re: Handjammies are cheating!

Where does 30 layers of tape on your hands to fit in a crack fall into the equation?

I always think about catching a thief and smashing them with my biggest Camalot. Unfortunately we only come across broken glass and no thieves.
