classic photo of a classic route

Great photo of two great climbers. Love the leather sided EBs. Climbed with both of them and had a blast when I did. That was a long time ago. Love the full length slings over the shoulder.

Actually ERF, those were orange PAs resoled in Brand X (I think.)
(yes, it's EFR, but sometimes I think Ms. Fazio deserves the final word)

stylish micro-shorts.

I might be in necessity of some longer shorts if I were to lead that thing.

Yeah whadda you know ERF (EFR?), definitely orange PAs resoled in Brand X man..

Anyway, WTF, why doesn't anybody put the dates of the FAs? I guess those extra four (or even two) characters are just brutally hard to get in there.

Thee was no resoling back then. The leader is wearing EB.s, he's just sewn leather over the top of the canvas uppers that always wore out on EB's.

jim-

since the dark haired guy leading in the image is Paul Davidson who stated they were resoles you take his word for it.
