Era of Hand-Stitched Harness and Pee-Sucker Shoes
Jorge Mederos recently located and sent us a few photos of the Cubans in the mid-1990s, when they were first exploring climbing on their own with homemade, handmade-stitched harnesses and Chinese climbing shoes called “chupameanos”, or pee-suckers, because anything on the ground could leak through the soles. The photos include the recollections of Mederos and Aníbal Fernández.
Época de Arnés Cosado a Mano y Chupameanos
Recientemente Jorge Mederos encontro y nos envió algunas fotos de los escaladores Cubanos a mediados de la década de 1990, cuando fueron los primeros en explorar la escalada con arneses cosado a mano y pies de gato chino, barato y llamado chupameanos, porque cualquiera liquido filtraba por las suelas transparente. Las fotos inculyen los recuerdos de Jorge Mederos y Aníbal Fernández.
