Athlete or Model?

I think the motorbike one is a little unfair as they don't quite pick the same calibre of model for the two shoots. Douglas is at least on par with SBC, if a not a little hotter, so the comparison is much fairer.

Damn, that young chap has what it takes to be a pro. I'm sure the sponsors are lining up to plaster their, um, logos all over his shapely behind.

SBC had better watch out with ODH and AJF supporting GDPH.

I keep hearing the SPC baked beans and spaghetti jingle.

Hey look, sex sells! Put a scantily clad man on your blog and you get more views in 1 day than the whole time you've had it ....

That was after you advertised here! Who said you were not an astute marketing wench? ;-)

How does duglash feel about being $ % cut by a female marketing guru for such service?

SBC who?
Had not heard of her before, and have almost forgotten who she is already, & this thread is still front page material...

Besides, what has she ever done on Grit?

~ It is hard to erase those duglash images from memory though...
Heh, heh, heh.

For shame Chocky! Four pages of rant about this also-ran and not a whisper on the forums about Hazel Findlay's da moving to Natimuk and her recent visit to Oz. Simey even has a pic on her facebook! She's climbing Totem Pole, which has gotten many mentions recently, but when someone Alex Honnold has mentioned as possibly the "best female climber" climbs it there is not a word on the forums. At least post it up so all can slag it off (a la Sharma). :(

Aside from Steve moved to Nati a wee while ago now, since when did someone's father moving to Nati become news???

Hopefully a fair few chockstoners caught Hazel's slideshow, where you could have drooled about her onsighting araps 25s at 18 before she'd even discovered working routes. Or freeing 31s on El Cap. Then the rest of her trip can be summed up by a single day in which she and Alex warmed up on Coming on Chris, did Trojan, Hazel flashed Masada on Alex's gear, Alex sent 2nd shot, they then moved onto Slopin Sleazin before Alex did a lap on Punks. my only question is - what sort of a warm up for all of that is Coming on Chris?

I don't think anyone is going to dispute that Hazel is way more diverse a climber and climbing a truckload better than SBC. I don't think there's anyway to put that that would not be an understatement. Hazel has awesome biceps as well :) But why does one have to compare them? And just because someone else has done something doesn't preclude talking about other things ... in this thread, I'm much more interested in talking about the sexualised marketing of women athletes then arguing about whether SBC can climb. Why not just start a new thread about what you admire about Hazel's climbing and her trip here?
