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?

Do you want to be a pro/sponsored climber like me? Or do you want to be a good climber?

Lots of hard work, spray and shameless self-promotion
Begging and abandoning any dignity helps too

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 ?

My muscles would never fit into a suit like that... The first time I try to flex or dyno, the whole world would explode.

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. Itīs 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.
