Actually Chiloe I do have an 11mm Chouinard rope.
Doubt it is a 'Fantasia' judging by those colours.

I retired it for (lead) climbing a long time ago but I still use it as a work rope when rigging and for tree work.

East Buttress of Middle fall 78'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I loved that shirt !
It was a wool shirt marketed by 'Joe Brown'.
The weave and colours looked like a climbing rope.

The hat was knit for me by a dear friend. The yarn was from Peru.
I later lost it in the winter. I was descending down Raymond's cataract,
after soloing 'Odell's in Huntington's ravine on Mt. Washtub.
Like a fool I was over heating and put it in the pocket of my Woolrich knickers :(

Later that season...
bouldering the first moves of 'Leave it to Beaver' in...
the "Monument"
(same photo credit)
In desperate need of a shower
My hair was actually pretty sun bleached at that point
but you'd never know it from the picture
(very ripe at that point)

Stahl Bros.

The CandyColoredStreamLinedBaby shot is classic. That is you in EBs, eh?

The Hackey shot is mega classic and I don't think we have ever completely and correctly named all the participants.

Yo.

Tad, nice.

Mouse and others. Yes it is Traitor Horn on Tahquitz, classic 5.8. The dangling hex doesn't increase the dicey-ness or grip factor for the follower for the move to the horn or after. The rope lays nicely over the top and is in line for the follower on both moves. It may be possible to place one (for the leader) from the horn but probably not important.
Done it 25 times.
