Have you heard about like people that have just like one outfit, one clothing, you know,

a set of clothing so they don't have to make like decisions in the morning? I'm curious how many

pairs of red teas and black pants or black shorts do you own? Well, I own a couple pairs of

black pants because all technical outdoor pants are black. I only own one red tea or two now, I guess.

But no, I'm all about the single pair of clothes. I do everything in my inside clothes, my outside clothes, and I basically have one outfit that I have going for months at a time. I mean, like right now I'm wearing my pajamas, the same pajamas I wear every day that I'm not climbing outside. The red and black North Face, is that a preferred choice through the years?

Do they ever send you at other color and you're like, no? I mean, occasionally I do get other colors,

and I'm like, no. I mean, the North Face Red is so iconic and it looks good in photos. It always

pops against the natural backdrop. Like, it's just, it's perfect. You don't mess with perfection.

The North Face has you covered. Discover gear designed to take don't mess with perfection the north face has you covered

dark horse on the show a fair amount I mean I think we all know what it means but like let's define it

like break it down for me what what does that term actually mean I don't know to me a dark horse climber is somebody who's sort of flying off the radar a little bit somebody who's doing something in climbing that you hear about and is impressive but they're just not they're not online necessarily they're not posting about it or maybe they are to a limited extent but it's just not it's the type of climber that you want to hear more about.

And you know, you're always left wanting a little bit where you're like, what'd they do, when, how? It's like, what are the details? You know, it's like there's a little mystery around what they're doing. Yeah, and like rumors too, because I feel like, especially like in some of the older generations, like you'd be like, well, what did that person do here? Like, what did they link up?

Like, and you sort of would,

people would almost like fill in the gaps, right,

of the stories. like, well, what did that person do here? Like, what did they link up? Like, and you sort of would, people would almost,

like, fill in the gaps, right, of the stories around those types of climbers. Yeah, I think there are a lot of examples like that from Yosemite. Yeah. I mean, particularly a climber like Sean Leary, who was just as talented as somebody like Dean Potter, who was super well-known. But with Sean, you'd always be like, what was his time doing such and such?

Like, I think he did the speed record.

I heard rumor. as somebody like Dean Potter, who was super well-known. But with Sean, you'd always be like,

what was his time doing such and such? Like, I think he did the speed record. I heard rumor that he did that in 15 minutes or things like that, where you're just like, I mean, I still actually have a few where I'm pretty sure that supposedly he did certain climbs in like under half an hour, bridge to bridge, and things like that. You're kind of like, really?

Like, I don't know.

I can't even touch that time.
