Nude girl in adverts for climbing products - 4 comments - |

26 mars 2008 As a man I find the pictures attractive, but as a climber I think that it is unfortunate. Women are making great strides in climbing and advertising should not be geared towards only men. It is a sport for everyone. Additionally I thought that climbing companies were above this. For me the climbing community is seperate from the consumerist advertising culture that incessantly focuses on sex. Climbing is an escape from all of that nonsense and to have these images bring you right back into that world is a let down. I do think there should be a distinction made between the red chili picture and the others. While they all use sex as advertisement, the red chili empowers women by showing a woman with her climbing shoes rather than just a scenery. |

2008 About girlpower in communications. 1. sex sells, so make it stop selling. 2. shaped bodies being male or female, fine if functional. 3. nature has no limits, and the sick (petzl, red chili, desnivel) will just die to feed
the worms.4. free your mind before you enter free nature. |

1 may 2008 Nude pics are cool dude! and these are nothing close to being rude or nasty. Quit being a panty waist and just climb...who cares about your hate for the Petzl adverts. Most EURO pics show skin- man&women alike. |

2008 Sexy women have always, and will always have power over lonely, horny, male climber. Hell any woman will have power over a male climber. We spend all our time training, and we smell bad. |
