Kim,
I can't think of better Christmas gifts for a TT guy than good
climbing safety gear. Here are a few URL's to sites where I've
recently purchased climbing safety gear.
My last purchase were the best steel-shanked boots I have ever worn
while climbing (saves my feet from those rungs). And, the price was
very reasonable.
