climbing tights - are they back?

I almost bought a pair of tights with cats shooting lasers out of their eyes. Unfortunately they were women's. And unfortunately they were a petite size. I was sad.

Well, I'm sorry I didn't know that was a typo, but honestly your typo is consistent with most of your other statements, such as this:

eli poss wrote:Yes, a sexy woman wearing sexy clothing very well may distract a male climber. the same thing goes for a sexy man wearing sexy clothing. it's simple cause and effect.
Where you seem to be saying a woman wearing sexy clothing is the cause, and dropping a climber is the effect. If you truly believe that belayers are responsible for their own belays and that when male belayers fail at belaying and injure their climbers, that accident is not in fact caused by women's clothing choices, then my best advice to you is to choose your words FAR more carefully, because that is not the message you are sending.

I love eli.

Maybe we need to practice our multi-tasking? You should be able to look at a woman and belay simultaneously.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
