Don't ask where I found this or why a talented artist would spend so much time (circa 1950) on such a corny illustration but we're the better for it.

Sorry, but even back in the 1950's we knew that using your knee on a climb was bad form.

Looks as if she has stealth rubber knee stockings on. Ahead of her time.
Maybe a great tattoo for some poor soul.
Looks like her nipple is on a crimper hold...is that cheating?

Gen.6: 1,2,4 (KJV)
[1] And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them,
[2] That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
. . .
[4] There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
Man's (and the Angels) greatest temptation is Women.
It is my cross to bear.

Largo,
I have seen that before and can't remember where. I think I have a copy.

Brock:
Thirty years ago I asked whether that part of the feminine anatomy might provide special advantage for doing overhangs. I still don't think the question received the attention it deserved.

Actually, I saw her at the Pipedream in Maple Canyon last week downgrading some 14.a after soloing it. Must be the full length five ten stockings, knee bars are poor style!

What if women designed girls toys? How would they be different?
Not that I'm against passing around a pinup. It seems like it might be something that a group of boys might do. I don't imagine that that pinup would attract the betties, but the bouldering crew probably would.
