For a while I was wondering how on earth they made Stephen Merchant look a normal height.

[Will Hunt]

Is that... Is that a Raj style pith helmet? I can't figure out whether getting a black model to wear such a thing is empowering or awful.

No, it's this bucket hat https://www.gucci.com/uk/en_gb/pr/women/accessories-for-women/hats-and-gloves-for-women/bucket-and-sun-hats-for-women/cotton-fedora-with-gucci-label-p-6271744HK021400

Colonial-era bucket hat. Roger that.

I want all of it, starting with the tent and the rucksack..

Surprised LNDN CLMBR aren't all over this, the look for the Shoreditch Boulderer.

I did forward the link to their editorial board - but they must have been having a whole grain chai latte break at the time and missed it...

What the absolute fuck is any of that.........
The world is officially coming to an end! The worst part of it is someone is going to pay an obscene amount of money for that !

I saw a real live one of these a couple of days ago. Hampstead Heath not London Fields and the wearer looked a lot more Gucci than TNF. Tremendously exciting. Sadly for LDN CLMBR, they were going in the opposite direction and had passed before I could get my phone out with any degree of subtlety.

The green and gold down jacket is amazing 😍

Is this LDN CLMBR’s new North American correspondent?

[SA Chris]

Well Sugar Ape.

"It’s kind of long here, yeah, but short here like it’s been done at random, but if you look closely, eh, you can see that it hasn’t, ‘cept you can’t tell that… and it’s got a few of these in it, yeah paint… lids.”

Given Yoss's response, in the light of this photo and the fact that LDN CLMBR has been suspiciously quiet of late, I'm now convinced Gucci took his parody account for real and hired him as creative director. If you need someone to play Kaspar Ruiz-Montano I'm in, this is key work if ever I saw it.

Shit isn’t that Barrows’s erstwhile partner in crime ‘39’ aka attack poodle!?

Keep an eye out for the (severely delayed) issue 4 and all will be revealed...

(I have a book to finish that’s v overdue and as a result LDNCLMBR is also behind schedule)



While we’re on the subject, I would’ve loved the Stephen Sprouse x LV collaboration graphics on a bouldering mat.

I'm just surprised Jurgen Klopp got mixed up in this

[SA Chris]

wil.i.am staying on point though.

I’m not but that can’t be Klopp - no teeth on display

I liked the brown sandals and socks.

[andy popp]

I want ... the tent.

The tent pitched on the steep slope overlooking the nice flat, grassy plateau.

[jwi]

haha! the lengths I go to to avoid a bivy...

Here you go.

Might be a bitch hauling it, mind. You’ll need three Shredded Wheat for brekkie that morning.

I noticed uniqlo have included a "random climber on wall" on their facebook pop-up ads, but can't see it elsewhere.

I rather like that!
How "off the mark" do you think it actually is? Great choice of wooden holds too 
It seems they're actually appealing to a certain aesthetic style sense in various activities, rather than say taking climbing per se out of context.

I don't think it would be too farfetched to imagine Moon trying to reach out to other markets, and including a bit of climbing in that way.

Some great flexibility too.

In fairness to Uniqlo, I would guess a lot of climbers/ skiers/ hikers/ etc use their stuff outdoors, so videos like that aren't wholly bogus. Their base layers and down jackets are decent quality and pretty good value, at least if purchased in Japan - I don't know whether pricing is as competitive overseas?

No, it was just a pic. They have very limited presence in outdoor market here as far as I know, but LNDN CLMR fashionistas may prove me wrong.
