Beards are best for alpine climbing, a great way to carry your food....especially peanut butter and spaghetti sauce.

Jim aren't you heading to the winds soon. Better start growing one. Also good for alpine climbing on rainy days so you can knit a sweater while sitting in the tent.

Dunno. But I'm headed back to desert, so this one is about to go!
I'm keeping the hat, though!

Careful of getting the long'uns stuck in yer belay device. I've found this to be optimal:
Edit: Jaybro, that hat is a beauty. Do you have a matching shirt?

Jaybro, that pelt is friction aid on the wide stuff. If you want to claim legit FAs, you have to shave that thing smooth and shiny. Actually, a little chest stubble might be even better aid.
Mr Brennan, that sounds painful and worthy of inspiring a new thread topic....

Tami, I'm guessing that Jaybro's chest pelt is only there to counter balance his back pelt. Scary!
