If I wanted to get a pair of those yellow "gay pride" boots worn by all the kewl klimbers... do I need to join some type of club, wear nylons or listen to show music?

Arcteryx doesn't make them... So you can't buy them

Not a requirement, but owning all of the Barbara Striesand and Celine Dion CDs might help you feel more natural in them. Purple tools and pink rope complete the ensemble. That said, my sorta yellow Nepals are by far the best ice boot I've ever worn.

None of that required. Just cough up 475 bones plus tax at R&S. They have them there right now.

You COULD be cool like me and Molly and get hot red boots.

Yep! Although I'd recommend not getting pregnant and having your shoe size go up significantly right after investing in new boots...

if d-elvis gets pregnant.... I want to see that

Ewwww.

Hey LTL, this one is for you

(Photo by Dillbag... jeeez there I said it)ok Maybe I worked on the post editing ... a bit.

Now that puts me in the mood! Thanks. With this current weather, ice has been pretty far out of my focus. LTL looks like she is a natural climbing model. Quess it will be a while till we see that again, but at least she has a great photo to show off instead of all the butt shots I've ever been the subject of.
