WTF?
seriously, what exactly is being sold in this picture?
the properties make me think it's a pattaguci thing, but i want to laugh out loud (or maybe cry?) more than i want to shop for some new fleece.
either way, that's just burried treasure, too phucking funny, please tell me it was a photoshop trick?
(overheard on the set: who has the spray bottle? she's looking a bit dry, right there behind the left knee, and can i please see some leg? time is money people, and honey, roll up your sleeve a little, why is he even wearing a shirt? at least pull it up a bit, ok that's better...)

Mac's got a Spartacus chin.
"I am Chris Mac."
"I am Chris Mac."
Now, as long as we're bashing Mac while he's out climbing, let us bring up the small issue of Alpinist 15--on newstands now!
Chris "Rocket" McNamara, who's wearing his helmet in the parking lot. Got some splaining to do, Rocket.

What was Chris Mac thinking? I'll hazard a guess:
"you guys are writing the check right now, yeah?"

since when does C_Mac do it with Tommy's girl?
I have to admit, Beth looks pretty damn hot in that photo. Maybe the first photo where she looks older then 12.

What was Chris thinking? He is just out for fun and adventure, like the rest of us. But clue me in: where is this shot taken from? It seems to be a studio shoot, due to the background.

david- dunno where it's from, i ripped it off (along w/ the thread title) from here: http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.html?topic_id=157333&f=0&b=0
i didn't have enough interest to follow the links, but i am kinda curious if it was actually used w/ the hope of actually selling something (or if not, how it ended up on the web).
like i said, burried treasure!

Posed? Yep. But, still a good photo with excellent lighting etc. Better then a lot of other climbing photos, no doubt. And, it has you all talking, so it has an impact. Guess whoever the client was would be happy.

Hey Crimpergirl, not to much happening this way, was a nice weekend at the red...
I dig art styled climbing photos, even if they are posed in a studio. At least it is clear that they are posed, rather then many of the climbing action shots you see.

BTW, somehow I got to finding these photos a while back before you guys unearthed them. Sources say they were taken for Outside as a fashion spread. I dunno, I think they're as close to climber porn as it gets. And for that reason, I approve. Even if the topless wet thing is funny.
There's a few other classic ones to go with it:
You go on with your bad self on that 2nd class terrain! :)

ah, the sophistication and introspection of the GQ/SI Swimsuit plasti-drama look. Not quite kitsch-ey enough for camp. Might fly on lids of 'I can't believe it's not margarine.'
If you took all the skill and talent evident in the photographer, lighting coordinator and, obviously, the climbers, and rose the concept to a post pandering level, there could be a visual statement having something to do with climbing, in there.
Oh Well, those landfills aren't gonna fill themselves.

So Tommy and Beth live next door to a good friend. I met Chris Mac when he was like 17-19 early in my climbng journey. These names are some of the most phenonemal talents in our game. They inspire me daily to be more than I am. Every interaction I have ever had with any of them, has never been anything but positive. I honestly wish them nothing but great success in all of their endeavors in life, and get the cash while its there, huh? You want my hairy, bald, dirty, unshaven ass to stick my wang in a crack while you take a pic for a 6 pack of PBR? Sounds like good work if you can get it.
But the dirt-bag, tyler durdenesque, wanna be old-school throwback self says that bottom wall photo w/ BR and CM brings us one step closer to the end...nothing is sexy about climbng walls. I had sex on the summit of Zodiac on my first trip up(5 days), not with myself either, or a dude...trust me, it was more of a novelty, and a so I could say I had thing...mostly it was just stinky. My advice, fwiw, at the base, or first night on...lol.
Those pics are soulless and steal what is pure about what we do and pimpin it to some super-sized fuq that wants to be like his hero...Jack Osboune.

Ehh, the Josh photo is okay, but what 80s glam rock is this girl out of? I'll take Suicide Girls porn any day over glam rock. :P
I find it interesting you all are upset about the "soulessness" of the photos. They're for a fashion mag. I find them tongue-in-cheek funny, though I doubt that was intended by the photographer. Both of them did a nice job modelling.
People need to get lives.

I seem to remember a story about a dude who used to strip in modesto or merced in order to fund his ditch living... sounds like a good gig.
hell if was single and penniless, I'd do alot of stuff to keep climbing.
I think Dingus and I could do a full monty routine! :-)

While you folks are arguing over, this Mac and Beth, have taken the $ ( propably not all that much but none the less) and are out climbing. Who's missing the boat here ? More power to them.
And most male climbers( maybe not fattrad) could make a bundle dancing for womens B days, Bacherlette parties and whatever, even a reasonably chiseled stomach will bring in the dough. 15 years ago I made up to $300.00 for stripping ( down to a zippered thong) and dancing and grinding the crowd for a couple songs. Not bad $ for 8 minutes of work and it was fun.
