Dru Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 ..."by the North Face" poor ol Deucey. His wall equip company bought out by TNF. TNF decides to dump the wall equip and turn it into another fashion line. So now you got flip flops sport bras and similar A5 bull shit. None of which you would ever wear on a wall. Maybe I just think it sucks cause I bought some of the flipflops yesterday at a closeout for like 5 bucks and now I feel silly actually wearing them cause it looks like I am dancing on the corpse of Middendorf's self respect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelle Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 This totally sucks. You used to be able to find the aid gear on Conrad Anker's site and I had heard a rumor that he bought that portion of A5 from TNF, but they kept the bouldering clothing line. There is no info now and the link takes you to the stupid bouldering clothes. IMO the whole extension to bouldering clothing from a tried and true aid brand is another classic mistake of that f'ing company and their marketing VP who "made Columbia a success". What were they thinking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iain Posted August 1, 2003 Share Posted August 1, 2003 I thought you were not allowed to graduate to a mumu until you fully outgrow the "my tummy stick out farther than my dickie do" t-shirt. no mumu until lettering on said shirt is warped!
