I am also currently invisible.

is this a serious question?
i have been climbing for 5 months and onsighted a 5.9 not in a gym. and am not even slightly close to thinking about sponsership. you have to understand a 5.11 outdoors even wont get u very far.....bump that grade out a few grades, move outside and then start thinking about some free shoes

When you say onsight, you mean you led it first time, clean, without ever having read a book about it or having been told it existed?!

My wife did 11b at 6 months pregnant, if you are only 1 grade better than a pregnant chick than keep working.

Thats OK, you dont have to belive me. Just because your not pulling hard yet does not mean that others are not. Granted she was on top rope but she never weighted the rope beofer topping out. Keep working though, You can get sponsered.

.... ok... still waiting on the bolt gun info... where to buy. OH, did you use it on Heckmaier in 1999 then lost it somehow? maybe you should Base Solo it like Dean Potter did. Then, and only then will you get some street cred
