BLAST FROM THE PAST … classic 1970s mountain boots

Browsing through an old Ken Wilson, Mountain magazine, I saw this ad for the famous French climbing boots. I suffered through two pair of super guides, and one pair of the hivernale double boots. And my college buddy climbed in the blue suede yosemite shoes. While El Presidente was always a fan of the peutereys. They were not comfy or light, but we did manage to climb some serious routes.
