Dru Posted October 28, 2002 Author Share Posted October 28, 2002 Note use of puffy jacket to increase body width for easier squirming in chimney. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

North_by_Northwest Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 A sheet of sandpaper between the shoulder blades works well too. Is that the chimney on the Stanley Burgner S. Face? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 I would think climbing skin material would be the best. Which gives me a chance to promote my best idea yet for mountain safety, which would be a suit covered with climbing skin so self-arrest becomes irrelevant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North_by_Northwest Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Carharrt already has that, it's insulated and has a hood too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North_by_Northwest Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 The movement problems can be reduced by unbuttoning the sides as far as necessary, and a harness fits underneath and can be tied into using the fly.

North_by_Northwest Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 "carhartts are less construction and more fashion market last I checked...maybe I should check again" Wasn't aware of that. You wouldn't see anyone wearing the suit I'm talking about for looks, makes you look like an overgrown teddy bear. Either way they are still the toughest pants and great to climb in.

Dru Posted October 28, 2002 Author Share Posted October 28, 2002 If Carhartts are fashion how come you cant buy them at Winners???? (Can you?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iain Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 not saying no one wears 'em in construction anymore. am saying they are making big bucks on kidz too. good stuff no question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North_by_Northwest Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 This one but with the hood, which is probably an accessory. Sounds like Carhartt is following the path that Levis took then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
