As a kid I use to ride my bike from Berkeley to Pt Richmond, through the tunnel by the Richmond Plunge and hang out on the Bay. Totally undeveloped at that time, It was the 50s, and the high point of the infamous Richmond Ramblers Motorcycle Club. It was mind boggling to watch these innovative and wild men climb and crash on the steep trails and bluffs overlooking the Bay. One of my heroes was Dick Mann and over time I got to know him, oddly enough via a climbing contact at the old Ski Hut. So here is to one of the all time greats, Dick Mann and his Halibut hat!
Little known fact is TM Herbert was seriously into motorcycles at one time........

Crikey Joe!
You always post the best threads. The sailing stuff I get from you through other channels, though, is mind boggling. Makes climbing look like an after-kindergarten ice cream party.
Maybe 1988? I got an interesting email --- actually it might've been a fax back in those days ---- from Bernard Newman when I was working as the American editor of Mountain magazine. He wanted to know where to get white painters pants for climbing. He apparently needed a new pair. White painters pants looked good against grumpy English rock.
I thought it quite interesting an English gent wanted this sorta input from America. Anyway, Joe, please keep posting. (You need to write a f* book, mate.)
Cheers, Cammo

This is a waaayyy better hat thread than the other
I wasn't aware there was a competition, although I have heard better examples of fatuousness, o'mac.

^^^ Mouse! No competition, and I was merely having fun with the other hat thread you mentioned. I think that was the one where people were hating on flat brimmed hats? I guess you could say I was being fatuous, which is a word I just looked up the definition for. Love learning new grammar. Cheers dude!
