We are an advertising agency looking for an undiscovered climber to market several of our clients brands. If you are selected you must be available to shoot on several dates in October/November(TBD)2012 on location in Mexico and South America (all expenses paid). You must have a valid passport to travel outside of the U.S. Please respond by writing a little about yourself, climbing philosophy, and a recent climbing photo/s. All selections will be made by September 15, 2012.

I only just joined this forum, as I have moved to north America recently.
I have to ask, what is wrong with you people? Do Americans actually find this forum and the people on it to be amusing or acceptable? It's like listening to a bunch of small (stupid) children.
thank god for jake at least.
I also like the guy who thinks leaving gear behind to assist with a rescue is littering and deserves to have his gear stolen. What the hell?

Tassquam this is the way of the Internet. I apologize for anyone who has ticked you off. We are rather childish in here sometimes. The one thing we have in common is we all like rocks.

We call this "the American way."

I like to climb indoor drywall, and was featured in a short documentary about fixing air conditioners. My climbing philosophy is that anything can be obliterated with the right positive attitude. I like cats who like tequila. I can travel anywhere to climb, except Monaco (something about dry humping the princess being illegal) and the Vatican for contentious objector status. But overall I consider myself a ladies man, Home Depot specialist, and I booty gear from fallen climbers; so maybe more a pirate, ladies man, and cat drinking tequila connoisseur.

No sarcasm allowed sir. It pisses off Tassquam and therefore puts you in violation of guidline #1.

But, but,,,,isn't this site built around endless sarcasm? That's the BEST part of MP posts! Snarky comments and sarcastic climbers.

Hi! Thanks for posting this, even though I'm fairly dialed on the climbing scene, opportunities like this don't come up often, and not even walking on water is enough for La Sprortiva.

I'm a fairly mellow climber, been doing it forever (some might call me a "dirtbag"), and like climbing cool routes with cool people. I had a core group of 12 partners early in my career, but I got sick of their "ethics" and "style" obsessions, so lately I've been soloing a lot.
Basically I like getting up high in God's country, pulling off the occasional alpine miracle, seeing smiles on my partner's faces, and although I've done plenty of suffering, too much means you're doing it wrong.
I don't hang out in the hard-core sporto or bouldering scene too much anymore, a lot of those of cats have deals with a company I'm ethically opposed to, but if you wanna sell your soul, it's still a free country, brosef!
I am having a bit of a passport problem right now, the TSA are a bunch of punks! I got put on a no fly list after a little misunderstanding on an international flight. I was heading to the Dolomites via Rome (to kick some skulls at the HQ of a start-up I wrote the charter for, they have totally fucked up my business plan), and the plane runs outta booze. Well, I pull some Holy Spirits out of some H20 they just had lying around, and now I'm a terrorist? I'm a pretty forgiving guy, but those dudes are assholes, straight-up.
I'm totally available Oct-Nov, but definitely have to bug by Dec, it's a huge month for me and my other companies. Just a little insider heads-up, use all your vacay before the 21st.
Totally psyched on the opportunity, don't worry about contact info, I'll be in touch when you make your decision. Cheers- Josh

Here's some pics of me and some of my buds over my career:

Hey, sorry for my rant. I was pretty drunk. I just need to get used to American humour I guess.

One thing I've noticed about Americans, they're OK if you give them half a chance.
Of course I am a bit biased in my opinion. Welcome to MP!

I get sick from drinking the water everytime I go to Mexico. Im sitting this one out... I have often thought of myself as a model... too bad this is not in the U.S.A.
