Hm. Something comfortable that allows freedom of movement? Just a thought.

This ensemble provides me the ability to perform at the highest level by providing me maximum freedom of motion.

When the "StoneMasters" of lore went bouldering they wore 4 stones around their waist.

One stone is equivalent to 14 pounds.

The "StoneMasters" could still float all the hardest problems due to them being the Masters of the stone.

Thus to become a true StoneMaster one must pass this crucial test.

All others such as what to wear is only a journey to the pinnacle of poseur-dom ........

Now you tell me.

Haute Couture must mean absolutely nothing to a man such as yourself. (Sigh...)

I recommend you visit my website and see what the first British boulderers (they coined the word "bouldering") wore in the 1890s. It's been downhill ever since.

Nothing bug a chalk bag and shoes, as TBC said, BUT, then get someone to wrap Electro Luminescent Wire ( EL Wire ) appropriately around your body so as to outline, or something, your major body parts. Then go and climb a boulder problem at night and get someone to take those cool night time slow exposure pictures. Then report back to us.

I was an ER nurse for 15 years in inner city Philadelphia, but this is more stressful than any shift I ever worked.

Though I suggest something with a bit of a higher hem; climbing is hard when you can't see your feet and keep stepping on your gown!

Glow sticks.

Seriously, I've gotten 1st tracks on Phillipe's wearing a necktie and dress shirt beneath parka & ski pants "Honey, I've got to go to a Meeting this morning!" Made the other homies on the Gondola look lika bunch of ski bums...had been summoned to a Grand Jury deposition by the Deputy DA, in Bridgeport; and I showed on time. Have the priorities straight, as did his Boss, the DA, who I know was out catching freshies' that day too, and had denied my request to reschedule the Jury on account of snow conditions.
