Looks like an outfit that WC would climb in. :^0)
Cheers!

No, it's not pink enough.

But those Purple socks set it off soooo well.
Cheers!

I never did have a matching suit and rig though.

That guy looks awfully familiar. In fact, he looks damn fine if you ask me. :)

Life's Journey is not to arrive safely into the grave in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, yelling "Holy Shit, What a Ride!!!!"

The title of the picture is strange Skydiver that "likes" to climb. LOL it should read the Skydiver that likes to "Read" hehe.

"Need a Belay?"

Hey, hey, HEY! I do love the pink/green/black combo, as my old lycra climb/bike shorts were of that ilk. But not sure about that massive headgear. My old Soviet made foam padded skydive helmet works just fine for me. Think it was posted up once in 'humor section long ago.

I agree with RR. Likes to climb is a bit of a stretch, but I will give it to him, seeing as how I have to live with him. :)

RR, give it your best shot. c'mon I dare ya, I triple dog dare ya.

Give it to him!!!!!!!!hmmmm. NO NO i fear the wrath of Mary.

"Need a Belay?"

Alright those are not purple socks, they are ankle cuffs that keep the pants from riding up my leg when I am falling at 250mph standing up. I also do enjoy reading, particularly when its a really good book. I also do "like" climbing. I don't think I could spend every weekend doing it. I could spend every weekend skydiving, so I understand the love you can have for a sport in which one can devote all of their free time in its pursuit and I respect that fully.

OK OK we really do love you, we just like giving you crap :)

"Need a Belay?"

Ok, enough giving skybadiver crap. Otherwise, he will be mad at me, and that just won't work. I only get to be mad at him. :) Plus, he's sensitive about his purple socks. :)

Nah its cool!! I just like being able to dish it back out. No harm, no foul!

Welllll, in that case, E44, you said give it to him, and could you please help him dress, cause he's color blind. Make sure when your on a trad route with him, you call cams by their size, not color, or you could be enroute to an epic.
Cheers!

He also said his pants were riding up his leg... Is that like what a dog would do???
Cheers!

nothing is more awful than pants that wanna zoom up to your neck when skydiving. 250 mph? You must be talking in kilometers, as I've never heard of someone doing much more than 175 in a diving freefall unless they like started at 60,000 ft with oxygen or something weird. I'm happy at terminal V', maybe near the 130 mark.

No in a stand or head down actually 250 mph, is not a hard number to reach. In fact, put on a really tight and slick suit and you can bust 300mph fairly easily, aka. speed skydiving.

I've seen the speed suits and headdivers, but never got those numbers before. I enjoyed just taking my time, loaded down with all that heavy gear that flaps in the breeze and slows you down on a 22,000 HALO.
