Re: totems for climbers

From: "john s. smolowe" johnsmolowe at pacbell.net> on 2002.05.14 at 18:39:34(8772) I contacted Sicatec 2 years ago about these totems after seeing them on the Jardin Botanique webpage photos. They would not ship directly to a private party in the US, but said they distributed in the US through Smith & Hawken. I contacted Smith & Hawken, but was unable to convince them to order. If anyone knows a source, I'd love to get some Sicatec totems.
