Fun to see the VW's and the sideburns. :)
For the nostalgics, you can still buy EB's, but you might be disappointed that they sold out to the cartoons fad: Avatar, hellboy, hulk, sonic, patlabor... WTF?! And none of it is a trad shoe.

how about a classic FA
Does it count if they're old guard in the new age ?
I admit to pirating this one (just say the word and I'll take it down)
but, I just have to ask, Can that really be Mike McEwen on the left there ?
And finally, Fallen comrades (thanks Larry)

Hi
I am the webmaster of climbing shoes EB, and I enjoyed reading your post, and view photos. I actually wrote a news item on my site with a link to your post. I would like to know if I can use one or two photos in the post, citing the photo credits of course, and I also looking for photos of old climbing shoes EB.
For the names of climbing shoes and cartoons, we need to change the image to stick to the market, but our climbing shoes are still very good climbing shoes, as was his time in the "Super Gratton or PA "
Thanks
Sorry if my english is not perfect

Blast from the past!
Still got that sexy, casual-crushing look (dolphin shorts optional), I would presume?

Painters' pants, drilled hexes, Forrest harness. Swami belts were going out of style.
A bit much gear for a free attempt on a one-pitch route?
Prior to pre-inspection an cleaning routes on rappel.
I love the nostalgia that this thread has set off. Keep the pics coming.
