AOR enthusiast Registered: 08/27/04 Posts: 389	Originally Posted By: chip Looks like High E and those boots look like the old Royal Robbins things, I think made by Galibrier(sp?). Forget the real name but loved how the rubber came off in chunks! Good shoe for standing in slings :-) 'Course I might be wrong on both counts. Props for the old tapers and hexes. Got a box of them in the basement tht haven't seen light in 20 years. Ditto for chips reply except maybe Mike Sawicki on High E and if they're not the Royal Robbins shoes, they're Vasque Ascenders? And, I too have a milk crate full of "ancients" in my garage.

Climb is not High E. Shoes are not Ascenders, not RR's, they were bright blue in color. Hawkin's GTH or Gawkin Hawkins to those few who wore them. The climb remains to be identified.
