Looking for flammable footwear.

this guyyyyy
Talk to this guy. He may let you borrow one of his IBMs. Though you should stick with sanuks because they probably are about the max payload mass. Also, 2000' might be pushing the max altitude. |

There is definitely a "funniest post" in this thread. |

Just wrap your feet in duct tape. You might then be able to slide your feet into your climbing shoes. A little sweaty maybe, but think of the ankle support. |
|
I've done a few approaches (where you top out at your packs) with my feet taped with climbing tape. You can pull it off at the base, wad it up and burn it, or pull on climbing shoes over it. Works fairly well if that's all you are concerned about, and it has more traction than duct tape. |
|
Wrap your feet in weed and then smoke it right before the climb. You'll lead two grades higher. |
|
If you handstand walk to the base of the climb the only approach gear you need will be some leather gloves (lightweight and packable). |
|
i always enjoy using something once, and then burning it. it shows my true human nature. |
|
Just an aside, I had to drive the Crysler van today. God, I hate Cryslers. |

|
The genius of John's idea is that it's stoopider than anything anyone else has ever come up with. That takes Real Genius. Taking this subject serious is dumb. |
|
johnL is brilliant! Don't be so jealous. |
|
Jeff is upset bc he burns his rope and climbing shoes after routes with a walk off and feels like you ripped off his idea. Am I warm? |

Good thing you trimmed your Bermuda toenails to cut down on weight. Edit to add: Okay, so far it looks like a first grader's art project with the sloppy Elmer's glue, and dirty crayon, and all; Not going to be impressed until you can show your fellow MPers some stone knapping skillz as your feet catch fire. Think along the lines of a quality Cirque Du Soleil performance for the viewers, not a Circus- Circus clown. |
|
My two cents- John your a lazy bastard...... they are fucking sandals for christ sake. Last time I checked my tevas were not made of lead. and if your bro/sis is wearing his/her La Sportiva Nepal EVO GTX mountaineering boots on the approach tell him/her/it to carry their own shoes. |

Your prototype is beginning to look marketable. Once you get it down you could begin by making up a batch and selling them off your tailgate on the rim. That is until the tourists begin to report fires in the canyon bottom and the rangers become suspicious. Oh my gosh, policy review, interagency exchanges, environmental impact statement, public comment. 2 years hence, new trailhead signage: |
|
I would blur the Evolve and Crayola crayon logos in those pictures until you get some product placement money contracts in place. I know an agent you can contact, too. |

Maybe it's a lifestyle thing, those of you who know me know I don't amass too much shit. I think I look at gear as a carbon fiber dildo, if I can get the job done with less of it up my ass, I think I'm happier.Classic! |
