Let Us Now Praise Female Burl

Let Us Now Praise Female Burl

Back in the day, only a handful of American female climbers could boast this kind of buffed-out rip. Sharon was one of 'em. After a steady, multi-year diet of 5.11 and 5.12 cracks, big walls, french limestone, alpine epics, hard bouldering, and multi-month road trips, she had some serious cut. Here she is in her prime, Spring 1987, warming up on some generic Jtree mega-classic...guess the route!

well kalcario, lemme put it this way: how many male climbers in the 80's shaved their legs, then climbed in shorts, in Josh?? Imagine the ruthless barrage of slander they'd have had to endure! Yep, sharon isn't just a chick...she's a Betty...

I still climb in my Boreal shoes like that, several resoles later, of course.

Looks like the backside of bvb based on "Life in Lodge..." http://www.rockclimbing.com/photos.php?Action=Show&PhotoID=11996. But hey, I guess bvb and Jocelyn (spelling?) were into hair dye and perms back in the day (bouncing back and forth between blonde and dark hair, curly and straight more than Jose Eber).

is that a flesh-colored tank top, or is she trying to even out her tan climbing topless?

yo yo yo! you're trippin, jefe. nothing but rock hard muscle and steely sinew tacked onto that rack. watchit, or we'll rat you out to that CIA-trained "wetwork" hitsquad over at "The Ladies Roof" forum. Many a rc.com male chauvanist has disappered, never to be seen again....

Tank top tan, no bra strap lines, V-cut torso, blue shorts, multi-month road trips...come on now! Looks/sounds like Greg Epperson's itinerary if you ask me!
