Nice! I really like seeing these "vintage" photos.

Wow!! Look at all that 1 inch webbing Randy has wrapped around his waist. He must have 20 feet wrapped in 10 coils. Oh yes! The pre-modern harness days... even before the famous Willans (sp?) Harness showed up on the scene. I used to do the same thing way back then and remember always finding it hard to breath with all that stuff coiled around my waist.... I think I got my first Willans in 1983.

Randy has made the jump to 2" material in this photo..... but the 1" stuff was pretty nice too. I think the standard was 20ft or so at a time.

Classic!

I think the coolest part is the shoes... Climbing anything in those must feel like 11d...
