Top pic is classic

Definitely.  Great to see those hexes making contact below the knee.

Here's one of CJD making the first ascent of Whiskey Bitch (from a sitter if memory serves me right, so quite hard, possibly V9/7c) on Pill Box Wall in '97 with Higg spotting. I'm liking the homemade pad very much.

John Wainwright and Chris Wentworth warming up at Almscliff, I'm guessing 94-95.



Is that traditional aboriginal spotting

That's weird, that looks like me on the didge. And I was probably warming at Almscliffe about then... must have laid a cuckoos egg in my mind for my future hairstyle.....

You mean future lack of hairstyle.

Is Renegade Master Old Skool?  That's a bit Nu Skool for an Old Skool pix thread, innit?   :-\

(Aside:  Has anyone bouldered this?  They should.)

It wasn't the lasers, it was the lats.  He doesn't eat cake does he!

Yes, more than one person I think. As far as I'm aware only Simpson has repeated it the way Jerry did it, finishing straight up the crack.

ps. great thread. Keep the pics coming.

 It certainly is. Can you not tell by the artful way it's being worn?

Can't find it but I remember an S7 advert on the back of a magazine, "some things change some things don't" with moon (on powerband?) in some outrageous blue tights... anyone got it to post up?

Nice!
However the S7 advert was way more distasteful...

Are those La Sportiva Kendos?  That brings back memories. 

I fuckin' loved those shoes, until they just fell apart.  Oh yeah, and they knackered my achilles.

Nibile, you appear to have a leech on your arm in that pic.
