Licentia Haud Vestigium
Bex says:
I totally dig the old school pix. the mullet is sweet but the Bicylce shorts are sweeter, I love the neon green. The shorts are Ultra Sexy.
woodchuck07 says:
Shorts were design requested by Tommy Thayer( 85'Bears) and custom made for his Super Bowl teammates and I got lucky and snatched up the last extra pair waaay back when. I never recall that hair being called a 'mullet' back then. Only in last 10 years have I heard that used so much. But that hair also dates that indoor wall, since they were pretty rare back in mid 80's.
Bex says:
I always new the hair cut as Hockey head..but I am Canadian. Now the shorts rock even more. I so do not miss the 80's.
woodchuck07 says:
I never got into the whole 'lycra' sports climbing fashion that was Euro popular. But the lycra bike shorts were so perfect for climbs back then. Massive gut nowdays means I cover up as much as I can for climbs today;'(
Bex says:
I'm allergic to lycra. So I can't induldge in my Euro Trashiness. And Damn it I am euro trash.
Paul says:
Cool pic, nice move, sweet clothes - just one thing puzzling me here - how high?.... You don't appear to be roped up/wearing a harness.... or am I just being stupid?....
woodchuck07 says:
The roof move is about 18 ft. off the deck but there is a foam pole vault pit below to crash into. Was a great indoor place to climb 15 years ago.
Paul says:
Aaah, that'd explain it then, thanx.
- sounds like fun. I don't suppose you'd see that in many places these days though.
woodchuck07 says:
every route was like 5.11 or harder cuz there were so few maker of good climbing holds then. Jugs didn't exist very much for big roofs and all. I swear the face climb had nothing bigger than a centimeter in depth for a hold. Finger and tendon hurtin' kind of a place, yes it was.
