i vaguely remember the album cover struck a chord with me back when it was released - perhaps this is what got me into climbing... ;-)

Looks like it starts out on 'separate reality' ??
Why don't more music videos feature rock climbing? ;-))))))

And as we are going to the eighties when so many of us climbers were taken care of think about cambodia and the adventures you missed. I'm not being smart but where is the line of tradgey and adventure? Do you have one?

Interesting evolution in bouldering mats happening here.

How fast does it take for ones like the little bugger with the design motif to grow into big yellow buggers?

... and don't tell me its for wiping the crud off your shoes, cos that is what I thought spotters were for, ie to carry you to the rock!
Heh, heh, heh.

BTW the matterhorn shaped blade of rock between the two bits of gear looks to be an ankle worrier ...
