Greetings boys and girls,
I just got my first sponsorship deal and thought if any of you had any questions, I'd be happy to help answer them and help out.

Does it by chance involve pills, routing numbers, or Nigeria?

Does your sponsor provide you with free outerwear?

How about a company agreeing to pay comp fees, and a small daily allowance when at comps ?

Start a climbing-related business. You can sponsor yourself as much as you like and better still write it all off against tax as product development/market research/testing etc. It´s considerably better paid than being a pro climber.

I thought you were his sponsor? So get on with it! He needs you to pay comp fees and small daily allowance on his world travels.

Right now I am programming a stupid PID controller for the 3rd time because it won't seem to hold onto my settings. These are the things I do to sponsor his ass.
At least my knees aren't sore?

So the story is that the company I work for posted that they were offering "sponsorships" to staff to compete in climbing, cycling, kayaking and running... I was the only person to apply for the climbing one and the rest is ^^

Clearly you first didn't direct them to the "I'm overweight" thread you posted in when you requested that they sponsor your comp fees:-) 
Good call there. I like Jim Titts point up thread as well.
