I don't think this thread would be complete without the smoking hot photo of Chris Mac. Can someone please post it? :)

That's quite the demure chalk dip on Beth's part.

"reaching for the pepper spray," was whya someone suggested last time this one went around. -haha

Chris is a-okay! He's bought us a nice sandbox and only occasionally request we play nice.

Perhaps too lenient on the OP, though.

Now, now, crimpestuous one, jealousy NEVER does any good!

I'm sure Ouch! could make you much happier with this pic though, hint, hint.

Oh, that is not jealousy you hear. Jealousy is not my style. That is "grrrr" as in a tiger sound. A happy, contented and pleased growl/purr.... Grrrrrr.

Oh Lois, my goodness. Beth is one of three people to free the nose of El Cap, EVER. The others were Tommy Caldwell (Beth's husband), and Lynn Hill. Lynn was first and her send stood unrepeated for like 13 years. Beth and Tommy did it together about a year or so ago.

Yep, Beth is pretty and she is a nice young woman as well. I had the chance to chat with her walking back from a route at Red Rocks where she and Tommy were teaching a big wall class. I told her that her class had filled up just seconds after it was opened online. She was trully surprised and told me that she really liked the small classes because she could interact with the climbing folk on a personal basis. That was pretty much the end of the conversation as I walked way too slow for her. She was down the trail like a cat.

Lois,

Here we share an unknown regarding the best climbers in the world. I too wonder how Beth "Rodden" came to be in a pic like that with Chris. No clue although I'd bet that money of some type came into play here. Beth is actually prettier than that picture and MUCH prettier than the cover of Climbing magazine where she looks like a ghost.

So I too, wait to discover the nature of this picture.

"TOmmy and BEth EDIT:

I think that photo is dumb!!!"


This sentiment, as timely as ever, has been expressed before.


On the plus side, it did provide Ouch fodder.

chris has done a great job and this is an excellent place to have a great insight to climbers and climbing , even LEB being a non climber fits right in so if and when she ever does a climb it would make a great thread

What I want to know is who's the dude with his hands all over Tommy's woman!?!
Doesn't look like CMac to me - where'd this photo come from, anyway?

That photo is from outside mag. i think they had just gotten a new photo editor. probably from a fashion mag. and he wanted to add more sex to the mag... i guess. anyway, that was shot in san francisco mission studio of Jerry Bybee http://www.bybee.com/ who normally shoots real stars which is why beth was in the photo. i am not sure i was in the photo considering tommy caldwell was dating beth at the time and was actually at that photo shoot. if they had known that tommy was the true climbing badass i probably would have not been there... luckily they didnt and i got paid to eat lots of free sushi and give a lot of my friends something to laugh about!

awesome story, chris!
Why'd they hide your face?

I guess you probably made it up to Tommy by jugging for him on the two-in-a-day El Cap fiesta.
