AUCTION: Rare FISH Hooks

We just got in some more great and rare swag:

This message has been sent from a fellow registered SuperTopo climbing member to you.

The message is:

Hi Susan,

I never met Todd Gordon but wanted to do something and wondered if this idea would have any merit. I have set of "FISH" hooks, never used.  Maybe you could print out this pic and auction them over the weekend. I paid 50 dollars for them.many years ago. I would send them direct to the buyer... Anyhow, let me know if this would help.

Cheers

John McNamee

Incase you didn't know, FISH has not made these hooks for many years and they are extremely hard to come by these days.  These were easily the strongest and largest commercially available hooks for big aid routes.  On Ebay they routinely go for up to $50.00 per hook.  Bidding will start on these at $50.00 for both.  Your bid will include shipping to your US address.

How do I get to the party????

Try one of these:

From  Sooze:

Okay, here is a cut/paste of some directions I sent to someone else. If you're not familiar with Josh then note that Park Blvd = Quail Springs. Park is listed downtown Joshua Tree at the stoplight (near Nomads), start heading what starts off as south towards the park and at some point changes to Quail Springs. You'll hit the turn offs a few miles up........... it also can be mapped on google unlike a lot of houses around there. But to be safe...........

Todd's place is 9561 Star Lane in Joshua Tree.

Take Park Blvd aka Quail Springs towards the Park. Watch for Skyline - hang a right go up the dirt road which is kinda bumpy and pseudo washed out until you hit Star Lane - hang a left. At the very top of Star Lane is Todds.

Option 2 - you blow past Skyline, or don't see it. Take a right on Rincon (which is one street past Anaconda). Stay right don't deviate on any of those left hand streets although they look tempting, it winds around some for a while, thinking you've gone too far. Shitty road more bumpy dirt road until you hit Star Lane. Hang a left - up at the top of the street is Todd's house (on the left).

From the Google/Russ:

from Park Blvd, AKA Quail Springs Rd. :

Right on Rincon, left on Via Rocosa, right on Hi View, left on Star Lane go straight until you hit the house.

Or:  Right on Rincon, go a ways, then left on Star Lane until you crash into the house.
