NEW hobby. It's gunna be (to make me look) GOOD

Can anyone name what these are? These awful color, weird looking, strange things that are on my feet? and No I didn't do the ancient Chinease ritual of feet wrapping...although it may look like it. I promise I didn't do that. haha.
Turns out my husband is a nerd. I guess I always knew that though. Dang.
He's been on Craigs list for the past two weeks looking for Rock-climbing equipment. I guess If you can't do Rock-crawling anywhere here you might as well climb the rocks with your hands instead of a jeep. ;)
He has invested in some rock-climbing equipment. Ropes, Harnesses (or harnessi), Shoes...wow. He says it's a good investment though. Don't worry he weighed it very carefully. He also did his homework on the pros and cons of getting them before asking me if I'd be okay with supporting him in purchasing these Items. Oh boy I love him. So I suppose that this summer and for the summers to come you will find us climbing rocks. Yipee.
I'm hoping to get some "rock" solid abs and arms from this. haha
P.S. Tyson's climbed before. He used to do it all the time with his friends back home. I've gone a couple of times, but I was never really serious about it like him. So don't think he is to strange for just randomly drawing out of a hat, for a new hobby. There is rhyme and reason to it. He has done it before and he misses it. (only I think he misses it most because he is 100% positive that it was the reason he was so "buff" in high school, and since he doesn't climb anymore he's losing his muscles.)
Whatev'
(but I'm still going to get a lot of muscles myself by climbing...)
p.s. do my anckles look like they should belong to elephants instead of a human, to anyone else...? U.G.L.Y. Sorry that I scarred your eyes with them. I swear in real life they don't look THAT bad. The camera adds 10 pounds right? So it'd make sense they'd be huge if it was just my anckles and the had an extra 10 pounds.......Oh and that awful tan line looking thing that shows up in the middle picture...please disregard that. Dunno where that came from. I don't have a sock tan line, in fact I don't have anytype of tan line right now.
