That last one looks like Warren playing Mephisto and beckoning you to his dark world.

If it is a Forrest hammock, here's the dirty paper for it. From my 1974 Forrest Mountaineering catalog. For those interested, it cost a whopping $39, plus an extra $2.95 if you wanted to buy the spreader bar. Anders was obviously too cheap. Check out the balanced hammer to keep the hammock away from the wall!

I talked with Dean Caldwell a little while back and asked him if he still had his B.A.T. hammock... the list of expletives about that piece was impressive. Yep, he still has it along with bags of iron from the W.O.E.M.L.

The precursor was sewn up for Royal Robbins after a discussion we had in Camp 4 just prior to the NA wall. He made two and gave me one; which i still have
he also made two similarly constructed belay seats (for use in the era of swami belts) and gave me one that i also still have in my gear bag
i think he made a few more and sold them for a while
i also have one of the first Fish portaledges, given me to test drive and debug
