No no no. So, I took a break from this thread ... saw it was back up and decided to see if there was anything juicy in here. Very disappointing.
I'm getting the feeling no one understands what type of calendar we are talking about (the "boundaries" of which were set by Mr. Monster5 in his initial idea ... please take a moment and go back and read his suggestions).
Fully clothed is not part of what we're looking for here, folks. Just sayin'.
Happy trails!
As if none of us have ever come back with a cool, quasi-epic story instead of being victim to tragic rockfall, a fatal stumble, a heart attack, an embolism, a lightning strike, a bear attack, collapsing cornice, some psycho with an axe, a falling tree, carbon monoxide, even falling asleep at the wheel getting to a mountain. If you can't accept the fact that sometimes "s**t happens", then you live with the illusion that your epic genius and profound wilderness intelligence has put you in total and complete control of yourself, your partners, and the mountain. How mystified you'll be when "s**t happens" to you! - FM

Tony absolutely understands what kind of calendar we're discussing. It's the reason he hasn't shared the pictures of him that would fit said calendar.
"The love of wilderness is more than a hunger for what is always beyond reach; it is also an expression of loyalty to the earth, the earth which bore us and sustains us, the only home we shall ever know, the only paradise we ever need – if only we had the eyes to see." -Ed Abbey
"I get scared sometimes—lots of times—but it's not bad. You know? I feel close to myself. When I'm out there at night, I feel close to my own body, I can feel my blood moving, my skin and my fingernails, everything, it's like I'm full of electricity and I'm glowing in the dark—I'm on fire almost—I'm burning away into nothing—but it doesn't matter because I know exactly who I am." from The Things They Carried
I'm still waiting for the Men of yesteryear to submit. We need that grizzled fireman vibe to remind us of how things were back in the day when you got things done by doing.
Kansas, Lordhelmut, and Papi might scoff at you young look-at-me-ers, but we all know they could set a tone. Wait, where's gore galore at? Now we're talking.
"The road to alpine climbing is pocked and poorly marked, ending at an unexpectedly closed gate 5 miles from the trailhead." - MP user Beckerich
"If we don't change direction, we'll end up where we're going."

On top of Colorado 14ers, we don't use socks, we use cardboard signs.
Oh, now we're talkin'!
Prove it (you've read the criteria).

Or climbing helmets.
I'm too pasty for those kind of shots, spending all my outdoors time above treeline means my farmers tan starts at my wrists.

Well, Mr. Justiner, I'm sure I'm not in the market for anything that has to be sold.

Oh my dread lord Cthulhu. I see what you did there, and now I can’t *un*see it.
