With my brother Carl (right) in Icicle Canyon, April 1984. Carl captioned this photo, "Kodachrome Climbers."

 

 

As evidence of my cheapskate tendencies, I still have (and use) those sweatpants. Good times...

Yep, but we got snowed off of the actual climb. Gotta get back there some day...

Me and the sis, rockin the 80's attire

[ScaredSilly]

Was fondling through some old slides and thought this one would be good as it was the center fold image for an issue of Summit back in the mid 80s.

 

 

Note the styling tube socks and chocks. And of course a Whillans harness!!

 

Hey Shapp recognize the rock?

Mt Baker around 1982. I loved that K2 expedition cap.

 

 

 

[markwebster]

Me on Karate, 1983. I think I had 3 cams back then, the rest were hexes and stoppers. PA rock shoes and white painter pants. Forrest swami, and home sewn leg loops.

 

 

My wife Sue at Smith, '82. Not many women climbers back then, I was one of the lucky ones.

 

 

 

My buddy Mark L., leading Son of Sam, Yosemite Apron 1982? with stoppers and Fierys. That thing is a *lot* easier with small cams.

 

 

 

Sue (preggers with Clint [now 24]) Craig and I at jtree 1984 with my famous gremlin, loved that car.

 

[mark1980]

That guy on Son of Sam, in a Whillans harnes, thinks it was 85 or 86. Clint was close to brand new on that trip.

Although a different sport, but close enough...

 

[Pete_H]

I can do that.

[Jim]

I can do that.

 

....once!

Wow Nastia, these are some surprising pictures you're posting.

 

 

Thanks.

Well hell yes, I have climbed 30 times probably, my favorite 30 foot route! although I thin 5.9+ is better (a little sandbag never hurt anyone, well maybe?)

Nastia, your genetically pre-engineered skill to bend like an April leaf should be handy on a variety of north western dihedrals. Your gender-specific skills may be very well advantageous on rock.

you're born for off-widths - just don't fall!
