Hell of a way to claim a route for a day. Hopefully she didnt drop any of her # 2's!

I see excellent form, but I am curious as to how you'll be able to climb without your balls after she realizes you posted this?

I think Mike has breached some sort of unwritten code of conduct here (maybe several).
Hell hath no fury...

Abs and arms like that she probably crushes... until she falls out of her harness.
I know it's normal practice for many people(most?) to girth hitch the belay loop, but i know my Petzl harnesses user manual says to NEVER girth hitch anything to it... so there's another safety issue i guess.

Heh, heh, she knows who took it, so I'm betting somebody is going to pay...

edit to add - what exactly were you searching for that turned up this?

She's obviously lost her composure and allowed herself to become embarrassed when she should maintain focus. There's always time to grab the camera (when the smart-ass is on lead) and delete unwanted photos. Said smart-ass should be ashamed for putting unnecessary stress on an already shitty situation.

No shit. If you type her name into google it's the third picture that comes up - linking to the article. What is wrong w/ all of you?

And I have to say that I think that's the sexiest picture of someone taking a pee that I have ever seen...

I don't google, the internet isn't safe

you to might be pissing yourself if you were in the middle of sending a 5 pitch (leading every pitch) of overhanging limestone route in the Verdon Gorge that goes 5.13c, 5.13b, 5.13c, 5.13a, 5.12d...I know the last pitch is a bit soft touch.

You can see footage of the route and the send, though not the act pictured in The Fanatic Search 2: A Girl Thing

I would like to apologize to this fine grouping for not knowing the name of every female Swiss climber to have dropped trow' on the side of a cliff.

on desnivel, it labels her pictures as from her own collection. Perhaps she just has a great sense of humor?
