Dress like a HardMan

[Blake]

How about this dude

 

 

That was New Zealand's hardest sport climb for 15 years, and was just repeated this fall.

 

I think I like the Fila better.

You've got to take in consideration the cultural context of the time:

Nice bullseye right over that woman's crotch. Very subtle.

I thought those were stink lines.

Stink lines, bullseye, same thing for the straight guy.

you know it takes a man who is really confident in himself to pull off grapy colored lycra.

Consider the "hard" "man" source of this thread:

 

 

Cotton Rules,or was that kills? Great thread, love the pics!

Microfibre dude. This shirt comes in white, too.

 

You gotta love that the guy who's posted this pic about 15 times now is barely squeeking through the Intermediate Course. Every time he posts it it reminds me of how sweet the NE Butt of Goode was.

I've got a rad NZ climbing DVD that shows Derrick Thatcher on a few routes (plus a lot of great diverse climbing). Let me know if you have any interest in borrowing it and you are more than welcome to snag it next time you are across teh border.

“…Meanwhile, Commander Oefelein’s relationship with Captain Shipman was developing. In late January, Commander Oefelein invited her on a trip his shuttle crew was taking to his home state, Alaska, and said he had been asked about her clothing size for arctic gear.

 

“ ‘I think I can figure that out,’ he wrote. ‘Sized sexy and athletic.’ “

Maybe someone with more experience can fill me in:

 

What was the supposed advantage or reason for knickers? why would climbers in cold places want pants that stopped at the knee? Usually goofy-looking clothes have some functional advantage.

[tvashtarkatena]

Freedom of movement, a little weight savings (some knickers were cotton...the bottom leg of the pant would just get wet, heavy, and cold anyway, others were heavy wool: cutting off the calf saved significant weight), and heat dissipation, mostly. I 'knickerize' my pants a fair bit of the time. Note the thick wooly knee socks...I don't think anybody got too much colder back then for lack of long pants.
