Don't like the Oz Gullich as

A ~ It scares me to look at it.
B ~ He's climbing barefoot.  Sorry, only Apes and Monkey's are allowed to climb barefoot, when people do it it looks crusty and kinda yuck  :thumbsdown:
C ~ He's wearing tights, a fashion, which locks him into an age rather than being timeless as he might be in simple shorts and t.

Still looking for the one of Ben Moon on Agincourt - you know the one!

Also the guy with the spoon on his nose, that's quite iconic. :whistle:

Has anyone got the one of John Redhead on Raped By Affection?  One of the best climbing photos ever (well, that and the Beau Geste one) - and one that should have been the cover for the guide surely?

I asked Neil Pearsons about the Ben Moon on Agincourt photo. He said that the original slide of this image is no more, having been eaten by Ben's dog.

Bungle.

Think I've got one of me on that Agincourt move (somewhere at my Mum's house) but that doesn't really help does it. Sorry.

it might even be an improvement over the original assuming you're wearing an american football shirt.

I've got a photo of a photo. Problem is I don't really know how to upload them.... I'll try... Mods please delete if you think this is dodgy practice (pictures of pictures, copyright etc)

:agree:

...but in the absences of that one here’s Keith Robertson’s photo of ‘Tormented…’



I don’t why but I’ve always preferred the photo of Ray Jardine on ‘Separate Reality’.



The ‘Separate Reality’ photos in George Meyers’ book Yosemite Climber are awesome too; an iconic book of iconic climbing images.

Too Conan-chic.  Too homo.  Too many mirrors.

Possibly the angle and rope which work better as a lead in to the subject matter  :shrug:
