Ok, I don't know how to make a clear picture of this but...

So, this is a hat but... You could wear it on your chest, I suppose.

If you've got a camp or a climbing wall and you need people to know who the belayers working the party are, then yes, these hats would be alright. Any other time, pretty stupid.

Angry,
Apparently you didn't know that my first belay was 5.10 and I was 7 years old. Right now, I'm belaying onsight 5.14d and catching on 5.15...
Plus, it seems that perhaps the most important thing that keeps people climbing is a good catch, otherwise, we'd all be wheeling around looking at stairs wondering, "How am I going to get through this next pitch..."
I think the hat is funny and your sense of humor is... well, let's just say I wouldn't want to share pbr and stories around the campfire until the wee hours of the night while we wave our arms around like idiots talking about the whippers we took. All the while we don't even appreciate the guy that caught our fall, not as much as we should anyway.
So, for all the belayers out there: Thanks, thanks a lot. I mean it.

Are you trying to sell me a shirt/hat or are you making one for yourself?

If someone could make a spoof on "The Players" movie with a t-shirt that has similar design but a "The Belayers" theme, I would buy that shirt, for sure.
My technical savvy was expended on learning how to type with the home row.

You sandbagging sonofabitch!! Don't come in here stealing my thunder!! I rapped a variation that was 5.16b. And I'll fight anyone who says differently.

I realize it's a rough design, but I'd recommend going with an older axe. Given the age of the book (1963), I picture a straight, wooden shaft. YMMV.

I'm thinking non-kernmantel rope and a straight wooden axe, a la Conrad Kain.

Should this T be plain or should it say "wild thing" under the pic or something?
I could make regional shirts, eg "Moab - Where the wild things are"?

My vote would be for no text. If you have to have something, I'd use "Wild Rumpus" rather than "Wild Thing." The book is damn near universal, and the movie isn't far from release. The image and "Wild Thing" text would be redundant.
