hat maybe, but I might argue the packing tape was a hindrance, not an aid. I laughed probably too hard at this sh#t.

i don't think I have the body type...

and Bravo! though I might have put Royal Robbins on my ass, not sure why...
and Lost Arrow to cover the pudendum

I'll have to see if there are any Valley areas ripe for that sort of FA....


so V-man... when will we see your video?!

AND WHO SAYS THESE ARE WASTED THREADS ON THE STFORUM? they produce FA's in excellent style and with relatively high entertainment value. Anyone on an FA knows just how deadly boring they can be for the second...

I'm glad I finished my coffee before I read your reply, Ed. It would have come back out my nose, or I would have drowned, because I've been laughing too hard.

Tape and phots?


He may as well have worn his undies.

These 5.12 climbers putting up easy, poorly protected routes are irresponsible and selfish.

Ascent tainted by ugly hat and makeshift loincloth.

Nice.

Brings back the image of Doug Robinson's bare behind as he demonstrated "pure" style in the first Masters of Stone video. (I think that was the name)

Literally at the base of Half Dome RR. Hennek trailing behind comes upon Doug Robinson and Galen Rowell doing a photo shoot for Nat. Geographic, a total mockup. Obviously a Galen idea here. They don't know or at least DR doesn't know that Hennek is right behind him with a camera. Unfortunately DR put on clothes shortly thereafter. But at least it was a perfect ascent for those moments. And of course, it was a nuts-only first/ perfect ascent!
