Some good gear there!
I like the fact that although the stove was corroded to pieces his loo roll was so well protected it was still usable!
Priorities eh?!

has his voice changed, sounds as tho he has had a voice op of some sort or is it a cancer thing.

its hard to belive that thi sis the man who started bring rucksacs into the 21st century all tho years ago, one of the orignial rebals of the 70s.

one of my heros when i was growing up. the man just seamed unstoppable in his youth.

woah. thats one hell of a reunion. alot of the kit still looked serviceable even after so long. (mind you the fact it was frozen might have a play in that)

thanks for sharing

It's probably a result of his medical condition, an as yet "unknown neurodegenerative process" - http://jeffloweclimber.com/jeff-lowes-bio.html

Hopefully the kit had a lifetime warranty.

He has MS, not caused by but not helped by "suppressed adrenaline inherent to high-pressure climbing situations," (his words)

Wow - I bet that was a blast from the past for him. I don't think I would get the same thrill if someone where to defrost my briefcase after 20 odd years. I wonder how they knew where to find it?

Great stuff.

 

[Twodogs]

very interesting ,,wow

 

[Imagedude]

Anyway I'm glad the thread title wasn't a euphemism!

Very interesting indeed, great kit but in those conditions it needs to be.
