Rock Climb Demo, 1978

This is more darkroom work from Saranac Lake, NY. I was doing photography and PR for a community college. This fellow wanted to demonstrate his climbing skills so I did a series of photos for a potential article that never materialized.

 

I don't remember his name.

 

Maybe it's you.

Nice sequence with 70’s feel. I wish I had something like this.

Nice remember and very good "old" photos.

Terrific photo - well done! But it's not me.

I wonder whether he's still climbing. i most like the shot of him wedged into that crevice.

I liked the tennis shoes.

It's not me either. Very 70s look. I'm almost certain he's not into "climbing" anymore :) love the layout, b/w, grey background.

The guy reminds me of "Weird Al" Yankovic. I keep expecting to see some Michael Jackson like routine at the top of the climb. :P Thriller indeed.

Thanks all. LatentE, you may be on to something. He does look like Weird Al, and since you mentioned it I've got "Eat It" looping in my head to the tune of MJ's "Beat It."

For some reason this has a B/W Napoleon Dynamite feel to it ... the guy is definitely showing off his mad ninja rock climbing skills.

Would you get a load of that hair style and those glasses, did young people really look like that? That's right I did look like that... and I remember those Adidas shoes at least I think that's what they were. Nice shoots Allen. And that's not me either at least I don't think it's me.

So far, no one claims to be the climber, which is good, since he took Pam's Addidas.
