Matinee, P1, 1976 approximately. Photo by (I think) Hardie Truesdale, now a successful landscape photographer. Classic! Flip-flop stoppers (2 on a single cord so that you can flip one over the other as opposing wedges), 2" red swami, home-made leg loops, green Shoenards (stiff like cinder blocks), all ovals, and, of course, painters pants.

Quite a weird sight... a snake eating a toad!

If you're not on a legit site @ the MUA, Ranger Rob will wake you up @ 7am and tell you to move...which is perfect timing to start a day of Gunks climbing! (JK RR)

Rainy day on the carriage road. Heading down to the Yellow Wall looking for something dry to climb.
