Nice Stich plate and harness Phil! Looks like you're tied in with a "figure 9" :-)

Well this is a swell thread, I'll play
Short shorts and stuff sack. Shoes? You guys had shoes? The date of Ann's incised graffiti in the soft La Jolla sandstone dates this to 78
Everyone's got a painters pants shot, here's mine of the young supplicant
Do you think my van clashes with my outfit?
If the Stonemasters get credit for the bandana thing, it was sure rampant by 1977.
The Prince Of Prone, doing what he does best. Levis, cable knit sweater, converse, nicely accessorized with one of those green Chouinard ropes everyone had
Part of the crew, sporting most of the trendy fashion memes of the day

Wish I had pics, but I remember climbing at Taqhuitz and in Yosemite '74 - '77 w/ RRs, Chouinard cord shorts and the ubiquitous yellow and gold rugdy shirt, or a solid blue Chouinard rugdy shirt - painter's pants for long routes and nasty cracks. Chouinard Bullet pack, ... at least I think that's what it was called. All my photos in storage in the US - in Kathmandu...

1970s Climbing Fashions!
1977, fall. Joshua Tree, after doing my first 5.10: Top 40 to Middle Toilet.
Since downgraded to 5.9! WTF.
Chouinard Guide sweater, Millet rucksack, REI glacier glasses, wool knickers, red PAs.
If you look close, you can see someone photoshopped earrings into this picture. haha.
............................................................
1982, springtime do-over. Then with Ford modeling agency! (Total bullsh#t.)
Dressed in this same get-up when I guided two Navy SEALs up Astroman, later that year.
The boat neck tee had blue stripes and the wide wale cords were purple. Forest green pile jacket by Moonstone, IIRC.
Porsche Targa wasn't mine, but I did get paid 600 bucks to lead an all free, no-falls ascent!
Those dudes were blown:
"Roy, we've killed guys with our bare hands, jumped out of low-flying airplanes …
But this is the most radical thing we've done, hands down, and we are just on jumars!"
 I even got them stoned on pot for their first-ever big wall bivouac, on overnight ledge. Ha ha.
