I love seeing guys boulder shirtless, nothing is more satisfying than hearing that kigh pitch whine they make when they slip and their nipple gets grated across one of the boulders out at josh

and for protection I boulder in a latex body suit, what can I say, I'm a child of the 90s, you never know where that chalk left on the rocks came from

when Michael Flatley sees that picture he's going to want his shirt back

I am an exceptional boulderer, and my nipples are steely hard. Because I use my entire blood supply to quench my rippling forearms and abs, my head gets really cold. I usually wear my balaclava, scarf, and a fleece lined beanie, but my upper body puts out so much heat that a shirt, especially a synthetic fabric would just melt. Therefore I have to go shirtless. For pants, I alternate between baggy jeans for training (more resistance), but when I compete, I always wear the thong.

Couldn't resist.

gramicci pants are great...alot like carhartts with less pockets, better movement, and a little less durable. highly recommended. and of course a cotton t-shirt (preferably vintage) 8)

For bouldering, I usually wear what I was wearing while climbing during the daytime. Why change clothes just to climb on small rocks.

So to answer the question, since Josh has totally torn up my prana and metolius pants (one I paid 40% for the other I found) I now wear carhartts. That and a very unpretentious white fruit of the loom t shirt with the obligatory black stripe across the kidney area from hip belaying, and the worn right shoulder area from packing material at work (construction) and the usual holes from who knows what. Can't really be a tshirt and jeans guy when all your white tshirts have holes and don't look laundered (probably aren't).

TRADitionally yours,

They are the only pants that my thighs fit in. All those other companies make clothes for anorexic spurt climbers. Carhartts are the only ones I can move my legs in.

I wear clothes....I don't really care what they are...people I see bouldering look like no talent ass clowns with their beanies on in the middle of summer and shirts off in the middle of winter.

I've been wearing the same shorts for 4 years now, and I've recently discovered two things about them. One, they're prana (after reading people complain about boulderers that wear prana shorts, I decided to check) and two, apparently you can see my junk while I'm climbing. The first time someone told me this, I thought it was just a joke. But since then, I've been told by at least three other people, all in a semi-joking manner (I thought). Looks like I'm going to have to get new shorts. The worst part is, I'm really scared I'm going to be browsing the photos one day here, and see an upshort shot of me bouldering. That would really suck. (Unless I got rated a 10... :D ) And yes, for those of you out there that hate boulderers, I'll give you more ammo. I ALWAYS climb shirtless. (although I don't wear beanies)
