Re: Nose in a day packs. The first version of those were made by Roy, who often posts here. I think only 10 were made. The black ballistics ones.
Later i designed a pack also called the Nose in a day, but it was also known as a crag pack.
Then i started making mini-haulbags, with the A5 innivated waterproof closure (for climbing packs), which were the way to go for long day routes.

Yours is a hell of a lot easier to read than Chongo's big wall book!
I had to read that thing once. I HAD to. It will turn your mind to mush, although there are some cool things in it here and there.

Oh, and no t-shirts left! But maybe Simon who posts here would want to revive a few of the designs, like "bad bolt juju", my personal favourite.

I have a blue cordura (?) A5 NID pack with the detachable top closure. Still use it all the time; mostly these days, to carry around surfing wetsuits, leashes and surf wax. Brought from a shop in Boston in 1991 (?) from a guy who did a lot of freeing of aid lines on Cathedral Ledge. Irish or English surname.

Hey John- How did you become aware of HME bolt hangers such that you would choose to illustrate them in your catalog rather than Leeper hangers?

Steve, I don't think Leeper hangers were available in 1987. The illustrations for the tech manual came from the A5 Adventures side of things--which was mostly a retail supplier--the text was largely the same content that was in Climbing #98-99.

Nice, I didn't know that, about that line, Dingus. Deuce, what DMT didn't say is that line is up on Highway 108 near Sonora Pass proper.
Nice to see the SPH as an A5 gear proving grounds. :)

Still got mine with Barry's pen topo drawing of yours and his line...
"Days of no Future"
on the back inside cover.
Which I have done three times Deuce. One of my favorite all time "Solo" lines in the Red Ditch.
I think only 10 were made. The black ballistics ones.
I had one of the original ones that had the Red Shoulder and Haul straps. Used it to shreds....

Too bad the "original artwork" from Chessler is actually several copies of the poster of the original artwork used in the book. The price was too good to be true for something like that if it was an original. Still a nice addition to anyone's climber-cave.
