I wouldn't know - I've never been able to afford to go!

I might be missing something here but why would you need a quick draw when skiing.

Moncler client service will be able to explain I’m sure.

Yeah but check it - it's not branded as climbing gear, it's branded as SKI gear. With that crowd I bet you can just think of a number, double it and they'll still cough up.

FFS. If I saw anyone with that I would happily take their skis and club them to death with them.

I think LDNCLMBR needs to get in touch and do a shoot at Westway, on lead with a full rack of Moncler QDs...

  :lol:

They do have one good bargain, only €90 for a 14-point 'crampon'...

Site is currently down. They must have noticed it was missing a zero and pulled it. Clearly should have been £900

Also a Punter Watch referral. Two for the price of one!

It’s punterwatch season down here at the minute.  Multiple sightings in the last few weeks (don’t like taking pics of total strangers for amusement though so no evidence).

- Open carry chalk bag in a pub on NY day.

- Rock shoes clipped to belt loop of a passing cyclist.

- Full alpine rope loop across the shoulders and a Jacques Cousteau style wool cap on the Kings X concourse. (I did like the hat mind)

If it wasn't bright red, I would be disappointed.

For want of a better thread...

Did Stefano Ghisolfi come to the UK just to set parkour boulders and climb in the Lattice HQ?? I may well have missed some bits and pieces on his social media, but it doesn't look like he has got out much! Maybe the weather has been poor - would be shame if he didn't manage to attempt anything on rock and just made a few clickbait climbers crag vids ;)

In Will Bosi's latest IG post he said he was about, I was wondering what he had got up to.

Up until the last couple of days the weather has been perfect, really dry, good temps.

Someone should tell him about weather forecasts. Might be a game changer.

Look, we all know you can't do serious fingerboarding unless you're wearing a Training Cap and Training Socks.

My money's on Ben T seeing an "open carry" of one of these in Hackney somewhere, probably as a handbag / man-bag substitute:
