gear slings

[DirtyHarry]

Those candy-ass gear slings are queerer than a three dollar bill. Just get a regular padded fucking gear sling from BD or Climb High.

Thanks for the fashion advice, DH. I've got some other important questions about dressing for climbing, like about pants.

 

I've got this friend, and he wears capri pants when climbing. He calls them knickers, but you and I know that they're really capri's. Is he gay? Should I avoid bivying with him? He's always reaching into my chalkbag while I'm wearing it- is he just copping a feel of my firm, proud buttocks?

 

I asked him if he was gay, but he says 'No, look at all these hard-men from the late eighties, dressed in skin-tight spandex. Sure, they LOOK gay, but they're as hetero as a glam-rock band. Do you think Judas Priest is gay? Didn't think so.' So he went ahead bought me some spandex that matches his, so we could both become real hard-men.

So my other question is - when I'm wearing my spandex, should I tuck my shirt in or not?

[DirtyHarry]

Boaters wear skirts. So you both must be gay.

[olyclimber]

all these hard-men from the late eighties, dressed in skin-tight spandex.

Do you have a source on some good neon spandex? I think it is exactly what I need to take my climbing to the next level. I'm already using the correct gear sling, so I know that isn't it.

I'd say ask DFA, but he probably isn't old enough to have the Neon kind in his closet.

Come with me, Little Oly. We'll dress in suitable hard-man spandex and send the sickness.

 

Later, we'll enthusiastically search each other for ticks.

how many years back was it when Rob Halford was the MC for the Phoenix Gay pride parade

[Squid]

Rob Halford, gay?!!?

Check this pic out and think again!

 

Sheesh, next thing ya know you'll be saying that Freddy Mercury was gay.

[DirtyHarry]

BREAKIN THE LAW!

 

BREAKIN THE LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW!!!!

[minx]

oh my! and he was worried this might devolve into a harness v. sling debate. instead it's evolved into a who is the more gay rockstar debate. leather and motorcycles...yeefrickinhaw

[olyclimber]

I always wondered what a "Turbo Lover" was.....

[kenp]

that's best used with a gear sling that hangs from the back...

[Squid]

Sorry Stavrogin for making your thread all gay and stuff.

[olyclimber]

I'm feeling racked with guilt too. I just use a plain BD sling, works fine. As a side benefit, this sling is endorsed by DirtyHarry.

[Bill_Simpkins]

Answer:

Light rack, runner (I prefer a tied runner so you adjust the length and use it for a rap sling).

Heavy rack, sling.

Got a route wired down to nuts and a few cams, just throw it on your harness.

 

Other than that, just throw the crap on and climb.

[DirtyHarry]

I think you and Squid should go to work producing the first Judas Priest signature leather gear sling, that doubles as a g-string banana hamock and comes equipt with a little pocket for a small bottle of "cam lube."

[Bill_Simpkins]

Studded gear sling! Brilliant!

 

"Hell bent, hell bent for leather!"

[olyclimber]

Shit! Its already been done folks. "Studded sling" on Google: Rob Halford Gear Sling

9/16" webbing tied in a knot. I hate the way the loops on a fancy gear sling get in the way. With a piece of webbing, you just have to reach in one place.

 

Of course, I get my webbing for less than retail, since I'm sponsored by 9/16" Webbing GmbH of Dresden. If anyone wants a bro deal, PM me with your climbing resume and I'll see if I can hook you up.

 

PS - I left some of my pro-deal webbing on pretty much every hard route in the Cascades. PM me if you find it. TIA.

[slothrop]

Oh, and on the gay tip: I climbed a couple times with a guy who has a sheepskin-padded gear sling. G-A-Y.

[Stavrogin]

no hard feeling about you turning my thread gay squid. i found it funny.

a "turbo express" is an express screw with a fold out knob

therefore, a turbo lover is...

[Couloir]

I've strategically cut out the butt of my neon spandex capris, don a very tight wife-beater--trimmed off mid-tummy and holla-hoop my gear sling around my sweatband-laden, mullet-sportin' head while I'm waiting for the short bus too arrive. Who's with me!?!?

Well, you are wise to ask such pointed and pertinant questions.

 

In answer to your question Squid, you can definativly answer that question affirmatively if his cock tastes like sh*t.
