WTF is that black thing at the bottom near the right?


Is that the infamous (and yet to be ever seen in public) Fish Products Manzeer?



I should take a picture of the Vermin Hooks I got from Bridwell.


I nabbed this from couchmaster:



Is Gym Birdwell considered climbing equipment? My Love Ewe is (essential for solo walls or a kinky partnership)

Awesome anchor there, Crowley!

Nature, most of those hooks look like Vermin, but not as in John Sherman. Forrest Gardner made Vermin Equipment and Supply in GA. I've still got several of his hooks too.

I am in the market for gear. But it has to be really, really small. I'm only 18" tall.

I remember the first time Mark Blanchard saw a friend circa 79 or 80 he went home and made a set of his own over the weekend and did the same thing the first time he saw a porta-ledge... they might even be in that collection of stuff.
