Maybe when I get my act together and come out and stay with Kris we can noodle around on the crags somewhere!

Thanks Mike!
I'm familiar with the name but I've never met him, accepting nightmares featuring Hell of course.
Hey kids, go check the OP, second post actually: I just put up our Trad-To-The-Bone™ poster child.

And Mike was there when he told my wife he was the Devil.
It was on the phone, at devil's Tower, the day before his wedding.....

Yes yes, this business of climbing with a pack on three pitch rock routes.
Any real TradDad™ knows there is only one circumstance where a pack is required, and it looks much like this:

Where are trad guys/gals to be found?
Indubitably, in places like this:
Ogling undocumented things like this:
|
|
Marlow
Sport climber
OSLO
|
|
With Trad poster children like the one in the OP out on the cliffs, I guess the problem with overcrowded cliffs would soon disappear.

That's what I remember.
So I'm going to give that a loose affirmative!

Tarbuster thanks for the reply. This thread has become a supertopo tradition already. You're on fire. Keep it rolling! I'm learning and laughing all at the same time.

Roy, I'm not so sure about the dress code though. I know I was wearing lycra and tights a long time before I succumbed to sport climbing...

Tarbuster say: " the idea was to minimize taints."
Man, judging from those "Dolphin" brand short-shorts ya'll were all running back then, I'd bet there was a lot of taint getting flashed. Maximizing taints, as it were.

Oh Kris!
How can you even admit to such a thing!
I mean, really, sport climbing should be the only excuse for having ever worn Lycra.
Around 1989 at Hueco, Scott Franklin, a couple other regulars and I were all wearing black tights. Maybe even Kauk on that particular day. As though the low-key color choice and lots more cotton content was somehow hedging our bets; we were all looking at each other like the gig was up! Yet it was clear none of us really wanted to go all the way into the deep end of the pool with full value shimmering colors and stuff.
It's like saying fellatio isn't really having sex.
I mean really, is anybody who's had same-sex intercourse just a little bit gay?

I must now go outside for some fresh air and pseudo-exercise. It's clear that I need it!
Get ready folks, when I get back it's going to be a full-scale blitzkrieg of hard man trad ass photo assault. Hard-Ass TradChicks too.
