One-Time discount purchase for Fixed Gear
One-Time discount purchase for Fixed Gear
This was visited briefly last fall, but it seems to be coming to fruition this spring.
Through communication between the Climber's Access Society of BC (CASBC) and MEC, there has been a arrangement made for a one time (this may eventually become a once-a-year program) purchase of fixed gear for equipping of new routes.
As a current member of the CASBC (only $10 per year!), you will be elegible to purchase hardware such as bolts, hangers, quicklinks, steel bieners and stations at approximately 25% less than MEC retail pricing.
This opportunity comes with a few restrictions which allow MEC to offer this to us:
1. This will be, for now, a one time purchace. Dig the change out of your couch cushons and purchase everything you can, this may not happen again.
2. To keep the price down, our entire order will be submitted and filled by MEC as ONE order. This keeps their labour costs and your shipping costs down. It will all go to either Peter Winter's or my house in Squamish to be divided up into individual orders for pickup or shipping.
3. Everything must be paid for in advance. We may set up a separate CASBC account to handle these funds. Perer and I are discussing this.
4. If you do take advantage of this generous offer, send a big thanks to MEC and the CASBC for doing the legwork to make it possible. Join up, get involved.
Please send me a list of what you'd be interested in purchasing, and the quantities. I will compile a master order, and reply to everyone with when their cash will be due to be included on the order. Questions? You can send me a PM here or email me at krisdwild (at) gmail.com (replace (at) with @). Please send your order lists directly to my email so I can keep better track of them. Be sure to include your contact information In case I have to reach you.
