mmcmurra Posted January 15, 2002 Posted January 15, 2002 I just found this on rec.climbing, and did a search here and doesn't look like anybody's mentioned it...This is too good. Sure, it's a commercial site, but they don't push any products in the series. I'm impressed. And it's local! Adventures of Omega Man Wish I had that much free time... Quote
forrest_m Posted January 15, 2002 Posted January 15, 2002 some of my coworkers gave me the "rock climbing action man" for my birthday. despite being made of plastic, he can still only dead hang for about 5 minutes before his fingers start to deform and he takes the big whip. however, when he throws a heel hook into the mix, he can hang out at the crux (a vicious mantle move onto the bookshelf next to my desk) for months at a time. i've learned a lot about climbing from action man.

Cpt.Caveman Posted January 15, 2002 Posted January 15, 2002 Omega Man rox. It looks like Vantage Quote
W Posted January 15, 2002 Posted January 15, 2002 wasn't Omega Man some really bad Charlton Heston movie? "soilant green is PEOPLE!!!!!" Quote

ScottP Posted January 15, 2002 Posted January 15, 2002 Ya ever notice how the original GI Joe had his hands configured just right for gripping a beer in one hand and holding a joint in the other? Quote
icegirl Posted January 16, 2002 Posted January 16, 2002 Or maybe a new Steve House action figure... for all those kids who idolize extreme alpinists... I'd get one, and put it right up next to my Lara Croft action figure... (In her diving gear) Quote
W Posted January 16, 2002 Posted January 16, 2002 "This would explain how forrest gets up all those hardcore routes..." No, it ain't suction cups. Forrest is all about the Kung Fu Grip. Quote

Heinouscling Posted January 16, 2002 Posted January 16, 2002 I'd rather see a Mark Twight action figure. Something that looks pissed off at the world all of the time. I CLIMB AND I'M ANGRY!!!!!!!! -Heinous Quote
Cpt.Caveman Posted January 16, 2002 Posted January 16, 2002 Heinous, I am angry too. But I think I could kick Mark's scrawny skinny arse so I can't look up to him in that sense Quote
W Posted January 16, 2002 Posted January 16, 2002 actually twight trained for several years in martial arts, cavey. You might have to throw your pipe at him. Quote
