Trying to get the anual list together for santa and it deffinately gets harder every year!
Cant think of a thing!

What on your list? (serious)

MY list, not much, and very practical since I'm off on a trip after Christmas:
Schoeller or Powershield softshell jacket
Ice screws.
see, not that exciting!

If money no object, what about the new Rebel or Anarchist axes? Very sexy! For a small climbing gadget, Revolver krabs maybe? The new Alpkit jackets? Come to think of it, any Alpkit stuff - it's cheap enough and great quality.

Yeh, not much of an ice climber myself (never been actualy) but love grit.
Have you seen the new Tikka head-torch? Thats one fancy lamp!

There you go then, sorted! I use a Myolite3 headtorch myself, but the Tikkas are nice too.
For grit - some nice new cams? A new set of nuts? Ohh I dunno! I'm having problems myself actually. I'm asking for some books, I think, if people don't want to spend much. Mick Fowler's latest looks good, as do a few others :)

Ive got the older Tikka Plus head-torch so dont 'Need' a new one but i love gagets!
I bought my dad Andy Caves book 'learning to breath' and he realy liked it.

Have you ever used those wierd lookin TriCams?

Nope, never tried Tricams. They look tricky to place, and not THAT stable. Then again, I'm a bit of a newbie and the grades I climb (HS and below) don't really call for such things! If you want strange pro, what about those ball-nut things too?

Please let it be a GPS, please let it be a GPS!

Oh and peace on Earth.

Ive heard that there hard to retrieve!
Look wierd tho whatever they are.
Those ball nuts are 'nuts' I cant get my head around how they work.
Good one tho, ill have to buy one to fiddle with if nothing else :o)

If you want "hard to retrieve", get a set of Camp Pro Nuts. Fantastic for the leader, hell on earth for the second!

(So much so that my climbing partner has banned me taking them on our trip to Spain this winter! Says he doen'st want to get hypothermia spending half an hour chiselling them out!)

I want 'Operation, 'Guess Who' and a set of walkie-talkies joined together by string...that don't work.
My sister's after 'Girl's World' and 'Spirograph'.

We'll probably get f****** socks like every year though.

New boots and crampies please :-P
