I think this was in the early 80's judging from my Jim Collins like outfit.

I'd have to agree late 70's early 80's looks like an outfit my Dad would have worn when I was little.

Looks kind of thin on the protection, eh?, with no gear on him. Early climbing seems sketchy.

No gear because there was a group of us trying the roof and if we succeeded we would lower back down to the lip and let go! I, fortunately, got lucky with the Brashear's method and got it with no falls. The highlight of my climbing career at the time.

yeah sure, you liars. Fashionable, trendy...HA! Women laughed and avoided me back then, and surely would do it again now if I dressed like that one more time.

Well you do wear dresses and unpalpable hats. That could do it to Woody. Jim Collins? I think more Don Johnson myself, maybe, or Jan-Michael Vincent. Since fashion seems to be spawned from TV. Especially in the 80's

Yesback then fashion was driven by T.V. oh wait it still is.

woodchuck07 says:

<em>woodchuck07</em>'s picture

yeah, but now it's the lame manufactured-to-be-seen-and-sold kind of faux entertainment or 'fashions' originating from MTV or 'E entertainment junk.
Hey Gonzo, I swear that is the Only dress I own. Besides, it will come in use when 'Ash needs it for a sporty wedding on the cliffs in 5 or 6 years.

woodchuck07 says:

<em>woodchuck07</em>'s picture

yeah, he had a short career as sort of a weak version of JonClaude vanDamme stunts and whatever. Some other better known movie but I don't even care to Google him.
Hey, Ash.. you laugh at 5 to 6? OK< 2 or 3. Also, did you see my guestbook question for you earlier today?
