sobo Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Wayback Machine Skeezix, Those B/W shots of Triple S and from the cave at the south end are priceless. What a nostalgia fest you've sent me on... :sigh: You did know that Thai's Face ain't there anymore, either, right? BTW: You looked a lot like I did 27 years ago, but I think my beard was bigger.

Raindawg Posted April 11, 2007 Posted April 11, 2007 Dude....nice red tights. Hey cupcake....they're called socks, but maybe in your world you automatically think of "tights". Quote
EWolfe Posted April 12, 2007 Author Posted April 12, 2007 Dwayner on Angel Crack, Castle Rock, Leavenworth c. 1978. Nice One. Quote

pope Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Notice the chick belaying with her shoes on. Hee hee. What's your point? Quote
MisterMo Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Somebody tip me off when I've gone too far. I think I'm losing control... No. Too fun. Everybody keep it coming. Very cool stuff. Scanning sort of sucks you in. I didn't stop until I'd scanned everything I owned. Quote
Off_White Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Dru, hip belay and diaper sling, that's pretty old school for 1990. Skeezix, that stuff is golden! Glad you got a scanner. Dwayner, I figure some folks just aren't familiar with knickers, already retro cool back in the mid 70's. Knickers then: And some natty knicker action from 2006, with red socks no less. Who says youth today got no style? Quote
Raindawg Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Some scenes from the So. Cal. climbing scene c. 1979/1980! Dwayner and his buddy Pablo Cardenas rope up for the approach to the mondo beach crags! Some brutal bouldering on a '72 Cadillac El Dorado! Ice climbing in So. Cal.....get it where you can! Climbing buddy Denis Erectus plants his picks in the sickness! Don't fall here, dude! Quote
EWolfe Posted April 12, 2007 Author Posted April 12, 2007 Great Pix, Rdawg. The first one is so f'in classic BRING THE OLD SCHOOL!! You guys and your SCANNERS!!!! Quote
layton Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Am I too young to play? Here's me in 1994, my 1st climbing trip ever-Devil's Lake, WI. I didn't climb for 5 more years after this. And to FREAK Jordop out, here he is with his boyhood dog, Flopsy. Yes, Jordop, I'm watching.... Quote
chirp Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Coupla more scans from the "vaults". Takao chilling at the parking lot at Castle Rock sometime around 1988, some of you will know him and smile. Pope on Last Rites in Kolob Canyons in 1988. Quote
dan_forester Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 cool pictures. dru, you're a brave man for posting that picture - you know it means you can't make fun of mountie fashion anymore, though, don't you? Quote
G-spotter Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 I aint wearing no shorts over polypro though! Ewwwww And I'm wearing a Puma t-shirt. Puma is hip again and I still have the shirt! Pretty impressive neckbeard for someone under 20 though isn't it? Distel's was never so mega as that one. O-W that's no diaper sling, that's a fully tied webbing harness using 5x as much webbing as a diaper sling. It was sooo good to chop that fucker up into rap anchors. Quote
ken4ord Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Pretty impressive neckbeard for someone under 20 though isn't it? Distel's was never so mega as that one. I was thinking the same thing when I saw that picture!! Quote
sobo Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Skeezix got me thinking about Frank Gibson, my first climbing partner from my college days back in the Old Dominion. Frank was tragically murdered in his climbing store in Fairfax, VA in November 1990. His wife has since remarried, and his son will graduate high school next year. Please raise a glass to my friend and partner, Frank. RIP, brother. Frank gearing up for my first big wall climb, Whitesides Original Route, NC, ca. 1986. Frank with his favorite beverage. The night before, it got down to 40F below zero, and this was the only thing that didn't freeze. We tried cooking in the tent the next morning, and promptly exploded the stove and burned down the tent. "Warning label? What's a warning label?" Frank aiding a famous line at the NRG, WV Bridge Buttress, ca. Winter 1987. I can't remember the name of this route, it's a 10. Frank clearing out the barrel of his Ruger .44 in the gravel pit near Pembroke, VA, ca. 1988. Yours truly ringing in 1985 in my college apartment shortly after New Year's Eve. Frank and I drank everything you see here. IIRC, it was two bottles of Jack, a bottle of single malt, a bunch or Rolling Rocks, and a ton of some other shit beers. Look at the color of that nose!

sobo Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 (edited) I used the third toggle from the left on the top row of the edit/reply screen ("Enter an image"). It's worked for me before... ?? Just tried your suggestion on the first image. No joy. Edited April 13, 2007 by sobo Quote
