i can climb a 5 12 and i just started v 11 .

I'd say if you can get those 21 routes on your "to do" list ticked, the sponsors will be knocking at your door in no time flat.

Contact a bunch of climbing-related companies instead of a bunch of randos on the internet. Ask those companies what they look for in an athlete. Do that stuff.

Well first I'd probably get a todo list that has more than alot of climbs under 5.9. Not judging since my list is easy stuff..just saying.

Assuming this isn't a troll (which it looks like), you better just start climbing real hard, hang out with people that climb real hard, get your picture taken climbing real hard and yes...get a blog.

Oh enter alot of those gym comp thingies..they seem pretty popular with people that climb real hard.

Being a sponsored climber involves much more than simply climbing hard. You have to market yourself because you are marketing/representing your sponsors. It's about getting a *company* name and image into public awareness. Some spons'd climbers do it best by looking good and posing, others are good at getting along with people, shaking hands and giving clinics in addition to their talents – it comes down to presenting yourself as a role model, someone people look up to and thus put more stock into the companies that sponsor you. I think Joe Kinder is a prime example. I've spent a bit of time with him, on and off the rocks, and he's as charismatic as a politician. He's very talented at climbing but he also seems to be aware that he's never "off the clock" in terms of his public image; it's like he's a diplomat for his companies. Even if you crank hard enough to be sponsored for those skills alone, you will still go farther — in terms of sponsors and personally — with good people skills. Good luck.

Can't tell if that climbing resume sentence was a question or a statement. They want to see what you've done. If you haven't done anything noteworthy then they will probably not sponsor you.
