The top pic looks like Harding has a big shoulder pad over his right shoulder (standing next to a hemp rope). Mark Powell's right shoulder looks shredded. In the bottom pic it looks like Warren's got some sort of plastic crotch protector rigged up.

 

Imagine doing all the rappells they did with just a dulfersitz rig.

i don't know how long it lasted or is lasting, but in oct - there was a bithin display of climbing and bigwalling history in the museum in yosemite. it was/is amazing to watch some of the old video footage and interviews. these guys were truley going into no-man's land, having no idea if they were going to make it back.

 

(btw - don't google "hard men"...fyi)
