Gripped Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 I'm shocked to see only one set of gaiters in the whole group... OMFG. He's actually wearing gaitors. I didn't catch that. I didn't even think those were *really* mountaineers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothrop Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Is this "adventure racing"? Dude on the left has a nice ghetto-style pant leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

layton Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 oh god! this is the best thread ever. I can't believe how funny this shit is. Next time we gotta have a mounties section of the photo contest! I'm dying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Bob, asteroids may collide with earth and the sea may burn, but our packs will NEVER be lost. Tinkerbell ain't got nothing on our wand collection. Damn it's sunny out here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To_The_Top Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 "On Rappel! Mmmmkay?" Only thing missing is the duct tape name on the helmet. Gaitors? check Shorts over poly? check large group not doing anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Only thing missing? Well I don't see any intense spotting anywhere. In addition, the area is not festooned with topropes, though the picture may not be an accurate representation of the event. However, there is at least one rope installed as some kind of tripwire in the background, so perhaps this composition deserves more credit than my initial reaction. T-minus 10 seconds until blue-gaiters stumbles backwards on that thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad to see the subject in the photo is enough of a rebel to let the gaitors slouch a bit...nice style. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
