Great photos! Maybe post them to the route? |
|
And without bolts! |
|
Hey Ed, I see Jim is leading out on twins, was that common in eldo at that time? What was the reasoning? |
|
Lets you see how good the shoes and gear we have now is.You can climb the classics in stealth rubber and still be amazed that they were done in work boots with the rope tied around the waist. Nice pics |

The twin ropes were not common but I don't remember the reason for it. The shoes are RD's, a French shoe unavailable in Boulder at the time--we had to order them from an importer in New York, $15 plus $2 shipping. None of us used chalk back then. |
