In reply to: Hot damn - two hundred replies and ten thousand page views. Sex sells. Man, I've got a hottie bouldering pic or two that would peel the paint off the walls, yet despite the model revealing no nudity, the powers that be here refused to approve it when the model and I tried to submit it about a year ago. How and where does one draw the line? How hot is "too hot"?
.. hey pete -- maybe you can just attach it to a post -- or put a linnk up to it ..

Ok someone has been smoking way too much crack.
In reply to: I think if she were leading the rope would be going down past her feet to the previous clip, or perhaps even hanging down if this is the first clip. The rope ends at her harness. She is not leading, despite the caption saying she is "clipping her way up".
The rope is going past her to the previous clip. she's just turned her body in order to heelhook the big flake on the roof. With her LEFT foot.
In reply to: Also, she has no draws on her harness. The draws as you say could be already in place, but the absence of them in a "faked" photo avoids the problem of how they would truely react to gravity.
The draws are pre-placed. I've been there.
In reply to: Her body posture reaching for the clip is consistent also with reaching up and not out. I think if she were using her legs to hold her weight in place in a horizontal position they would be more flexed. The tension is consistent with standing erect.
What? she's hanging directly off her left arm. pulling AWAY from the roof! Thus needing the left leg heelhook and the right foot toehook. Who toehooks a vertical crack?
In reply to: the rope is not terribly difficult to dress like that, however I concede that it does drape downward, suggesting gravity. BUt again she is holding it where she is clipping.
yes gravity = roof
In reply to: A major concern remains with the three draws, the one from the anchor, the one leading beyond her with the rope/line attached and the third one she is clipping. Why would any climber, attach two draws to the draw already in to the anchor and clip in in this fashion?
Whoa! dude! look again.
the one at the "anchor" is really the first clip. That's why the lead rope goes to the ground after the draw. Also why it is LOWER than the other 2 draws. hmmmmmm...
There aren't 2 draws clipped into the same draw. The second draw is about 10 feet behind/below her and only looks like it's attached because of the perspective of the picture (by the way, think of it as if she's climbing TOWARDS the camera) if you look closer you can see the bolt that it's clipped into.
The draw she is clipping has simply been extended with another sling.
In reply to: As far as thomasribiries comments on stalcitites. I must say they do not look real to me. Nor does the rock in the background. Can you say photoshop?
you've obviously never been to thailand
In reply to: For real proof, we need photos of this route from a wider angle showing the formation in detail with the sourrounding background; ground, far distance, etc...
How about this. you go to thailand. find your way to railae. hike across the peninsula to Ton Sai beach. find yourself a seat at the restaurant on the beach and watch the climbers (who are much stronger that you) crank on this roof only 10 feet away
The only thing that might be wrong is that the image might be mirrored. but then again i could be thinking of a different route. it is a big roof you know.

IS it really wrong to publicly announce /display / decree in any form acknowledgement of an individual's perceived attraction to another? DOES this display / acknowledgement really take away from any other aspect of the individual, i.e. their intelligence; their physical / professional accomplishments?
IS it possible that the modern male climber may actually be not only semi-educated, but perhaps artistically inclined as well, and might appreciate all the aspects of a quality photograph including the beauty of the climb itself AND the beauty of the climber?
IS it actually possible for modern society to remember that humans have no choice in certain matters, such as a natural instinct to be attracted to a certain appearance / body type / odor / whatever?????
SO the caption reads "Ms. XXX cruising the sustained climb XXX rated 5.12D". Got it. Got half of it anyway. Got it from the caption and the route on the photo. Acknowledged all the physical and mental aspects of climbing work that had to be combined getting to that level - appreciate that - respect that...probably can't climb that personnaly. Oh, and by the way, I did figure out that sometimes, maybe this time, (especially if publication and $$$$ are a possibility) that she and her photographer colaborated to ensure she was wearing a nicely contrasting outfit to enhance the quality of the photograph.
SO, the comment, "Nice picture, and MS XXXXX can call me for a belay anytime" isn't necessarily demeaning...it's simply honest.
IT's honest because the second half of the equation really IS the "Zowee Factor". Some women have it...some don't. Some climber chicks really have it.
But then again, I'm biased - My Zowee metric may be different than yours.

Sorry, Gecko, the actual conversation ended days ago. Now this thread is just for reviews of the success of trolling, and actual trolls. No serious responses accepted.
But if you have any pictures of hotties you'd like to link to, they would be much appreciated.

boobies and firm booty rule... for many a guy and a girl.
bulging packages and huge muscles rule... for many a guy and girl.
fuh-Q if you can't deal. this ain't work. it's the stupid internet. let go of the bible or the panties you're wedging in your ass. not all rock climbers are clean, decent, or mannerly. we're fu/cking climbers, not clergy.
sexual/moral represion is so sad, sad, sad...

Climberer , Climsomething. Thank you. Thank you. OK. Now I understand.
And although your photos give Hilary guys to look at, it's obvious that Climbsomething is right about the hotties. Look how pretty her photographer makes that rock look. As the tag line on the IA mag says " the real stars are behind the camera".
Climberer, I owe you beer. Fraid you gotta come to Cal or take me to Thailand and put up with some lesser routes cause your right I am not that strong. And damn I'm most jealous about that not about not being Oli's lens man.

On one hand I am inclined to say that Hilary is overreacting here, but I am also inclined to agree with her to some extent. First, the comments are at times unnecessary and shameful, but guess what, you can turn the comments off. No fun! Well I do agree, sometimes the comments are the best thing about some photos. With every good there is bad, and you have to deal with it. I think Hilary has been dealing but something pushed her over the edge that inspired action (this thread) instead of avoidance or indifference. She cared enough to take the time to construct a serious example of what she thinks is wrong in the hope of changing things for the good of all. As men we should try to maintain an enviroment that the women feel comfortable in, because their presence is a great value to me, not that I am trying to get hooked up, but I jsut perfer a womans presence to a man. They smell a lot better, now I am trying to get hooked :wink: I have also seen the calls for Hilary to go get laid, which I find humorus, since I think this thread targets a lot of the men out there not getting any LMFAO.
Men, being unsensitive, often do not realize how their behavior affects others. I hope that this thread will sink in for some of us and clean things up a bit. Who knows, maybe the schisters making the shallow childish remarks will be scorned for doing so in the future. Raise the bar for more than just your rock climbing for once.
