Another shot about the spirit, not the action or the gear. Ron Cox on the summit of Cynical Pinnacle, 1971.
From there, we could almost see El Cap.

This thread rocks. Keep em coming.
Those tight shorts + swami belt pics are hot.
Cragsman in purple zebra spandex doing air guitar with his rack = PRICELESS.
I now have photographic proof of how old those psychedelic slings are to use as evidence in the next "When to Retire Your Gear" thread.

hey bob D,
The pictures you posted,
one of the early photos you posted was a side view of you on some granite. where was that at? pikes peak maybe? i recognize the route 'seamis' in one of the shots. one of the last ones you posted that says 'south platte' and shows a nice crack, is that 'dr dream'?

Thanks, I was in the right place at the right time with a camera -- although you'd laugh to see what camera most of these old photos were taken with!
Steve wrote a clever article about their climb, and his story along with that particular photo I think got reprinted for Climbing's 25th anniversary issue.

Chiloe, I mentioned it in the "what scanner are you using" thread, but I'd love to hear more about how your converting your vintage images into digital files. The quality of several, including the Wunsch/Erickson shot recently mentioned, is stellar.

Fabiano made some decent climbing shoes back in the day..
Of course then Charles came out with those shoes with the green rands. Had to test them on Sexy Sadie...

I think I had a pair of green-rands shoes. Weren't they one of the first-generation 5.10s? The front half of the sole was sticky rubber, the best there was at the time. The back half was green eraser rubber or somethin'. Loved those shoes.

Those might be Black Beauties on the feet of Ron Cox in my Cynical Pinnacle photo up top. He was going for max edging in an unsuccessful attempt to free what would years later become known as Wunsch's Dihedral.

Speaking of Wunsch's Diehedral and Black Beauties,
These were real black beauties, one of the last stiff shoes,
The black lorica La Sportiva TAO:
Man I'd love to get a fresh pair of those Fabiano's.
Chiloe, that shot on Cynical: wit' your man sportin' a get up with the knickers, alpen socks, goldline, and Black Beauties -is suave.
