Obviously, being on the cutting edge of climbing fashion we're all well placed to say what's hot...and what's not  :wink:

A few I've seen recently:

Baseball caps
Socks with rock boots
Football shirts

[SA Chris]

Rugby shirts with ron hills :shock:

I'm sure i've got a picture of me somewhere in that get up..........

think i may have even had on a brightly coloured beanie at the time too - just to finish off the outfit........................

the follies of youth

[Bubba]

Wearing a beanie in the Matrix with your top off when it's red-hot - very sad.

[cofe]

don't knock socks in rock boots till you've tried it...toastie.

[Fiend]

BRIGHTLY COLOURED SHIRTS.

And on a more serious note, tight trousers on a bloke. Hell, tight-but-not-skin-tight trousers on a girl too. Very wrong.

[Bubba]

Any shite t-shirt with "no fear" / "I climb to get high" / insert other cheesy strapline here.

[Fiend]

Surely no climber would actually wear a No Fear t-shirt - strictly the preserve of the couch potato junkie.

Similar and almost as bad: Planetfear T-shirts...

prana - hippy gear at gucci prices

"the frenchman" - 3/4 length cotton lycra in a pastel shade, very baggy t-shirt, often tucked in. horizontal striped jumpers. still surprisingly popular with peak 90s throwbacks.

"the eastern bloc" - bad C&A-style cotton ski-jackets, late 80's oxfam non-branded shellsuits and bizarre ex-russian army rockboots. doesn't stop them tearing up cuvier though  :shock: . basically looks like the clothes were pushed out of the back of a low flying hercules along with some sacks of grain. also known as "dressed by the UN".

its all good.

i must interject! a free pf shirt is bascially disposalbe, and as such usefull for sweating your arse off in down the wall.

'fashion mullets'
Tea-cosy style hats a la Bransbubble on Mushin
Christ I've even seen a burberry beanie!!!!!
There were some guys at stanage in full winter gear on saturday - bagsy me belaying!
'Wifebeater' vests over thermals - very popular in the peak.
Digicam/ videos seem to be more popular than boots and pad now too.

you weren't complaining when it was trained on yo ass on satdy word. plus its alright videoing but its in the suite aftertwards where the magic takes place (so i'm told...) :wink:

[c.j.d.]

I seem to remeber a BBC production with Mr Pantontino in a pair of skin tight green Stone Monkey tights - some goth he was.  The excuse/cover up heard was "But it was for the tele'" - Lame, Panton, lame.

what not to wear photos:





i have to shop dangerous in for those trousers:

[webbo]

running shorts.

so 1980's

[Fingers of a Martyr]

jeans and a rockport polo shirt with collar up is my prefered clothing for the wall :roll:    :wink:

[Big Frank]

I have some splendid Brown Prana pants that I have worn once. the ridicule was to much to bare.




Having just looked at that photo my eye was drawn to the right arete from a sit start, possibly eliminating the breaks!

[tommytwotone]

on a practicality / good manners tip:

during summer, baggy shorts with baggy boxers...not a good view for your spotter.

[Johnny Brown]

Say it loud, I'm fat and I'm proud

[webbo]

BRIGHTLY COLOURED SHIRTS.

[Bonjoy]

Wacky hats with joker horns etc :roll:

[Bubba]

Oh man - wacky hats - desperate or what? And why do so many skiers wear them?

[dave]

cos they're all bellends?
