the tie in arrangement on the backing card is one I've not tried before. Fortunately.

That's fantastic. You can see the thought process: "okay, this thing [belay device] is involved in the process somehow, and it ... goes on the rope? and the rope is tied to the harness? ... that kind of looks right, that'll do."

Imitation climbing shoes that make real climbing shoes look like a bargain.

That whole range is

Damn, out of stock in my size.

There’s an interesting story behind the company- they were a genuine outdoor clothing company for fifty years, apparently made the first down jacket, equipped Lionel Terray and Olympic skiing teams etc. then were bought out after they hit hard times and turned into a fashion label for the sort of people who want an authentic-looking downj but don’t want people to think that they paid less than four figures for it.

I can cope with the £2k puffa jackets but it's the hats that are really blowing my mind.

Unfortunately that blue down puffer hat/cap doesn’t seem to be available. I wonder whether it comes with the down jacket? That fluffy one looks perfect for grit connies.

Can't find that latter one in blue puffa anywhere though

My other half’s got recently bought a sewing machine and is getting into “upcycling”. Might see if she can knock me up one of those fleece pith helmets from an old jacket.

It's like that Balenciaga stuff that footballers are fond of - for £3k you can purchase a hi-vis jacket with a logo on it.  I'm tempted to put in an order to Arco for a load of their £20 versions and contract a screen printer.

The £190 Beanie, or the £140 Baseball Cap?

Thank you cheque (and subsequent link posters) for souring my day by making me aware of this utter bollox. Literally and exactly 10x overpriced on everything. And most of it, and the gormless models, looks bloody mediocre too. This sort of drivel makes me wish everyone involved including anyone who buys it gets ground down into budget dog food.

You’re just upset because now everybody knows where you buy your trousers…

Dunno where this observation would live (puterwatch?), but I immediately thought of this thread when I saw it. At the wall yesterday I saw some lad with a very fresh looking ankle tattoo saying "Climb more, climb happy" next to a red pocket. Let me reiterate, not a drawing of a bit of rock, or the outline of a mountain or a tree, a red plastic pocket. I left shortly after.

Could've at least picked a cool hold like the so-ill baby head.

Good lord. I hope Margo is getting paid very well for that.
