EWolfe Posted January 23, 2004 Share Posted January 23, 2004 And of course, the haunted, driven look from obsessing on a proj is key to the betamaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayB Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 There is a flip side to this coin. People who have a steady job and a reasonable income who invest a considerable amount of time and energy in cultivating the dirtbag look so they'll look hardcore. They are climbing's answer to Trustafarians, and they are every bit as poserish and lame as the wankers who sport pricy-high end gear in an effort to secure the credibilty and respect that their abilities cannot. Same game - different angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lummox Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 all i know bout etiquette is a man does it standing and a woman does it sitting and a dog does it on three legs: shake hands. Â and the one specialized climbing pair of pants i got that were suposed to be tough and all got holes in em the first time i climbed an offwidth wearing em.

lummox Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 this also helps thin the crowds that hardly measures to the timeworn technique of angrily swearing loud and largely incoherent to oneself and any bystanders and spitting a lot and kicking the dirt around and shit. course there is always kids and/or dogs to keep peeple away.

Â I had a friend at Smith who used to pull on his carhartt bibs for belay. It looked funny with his belay device hangin out of his flap.

scott_harpell Posted January 24, 2004 Share Posted January 24, 2004 carharts a fad? they are utilitarian. I have been wearing them for at least 10 years. I am sorry I made fun of schoeller. I know it is very shishy and all, but it just plain sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You lied about the passenger seat though. It's got one. You need a coat hanger to close the rear door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbw1966 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 If you are so friggin cool why are you spraying about wearing carharts? What difference does it make what the label says?

rbw1966 Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 I was in Canada for the last 4 days skiing in Nelson. I am trying to catchup on the drama now. Â On second thought, I'll just skip it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
