Just in case anyone with money wants to buy a dirtbag I come cheap. Gas and food money maybe a little extra to buy a hot shower now and then. I will sell what ever you got.
...yep it's still funny

Saw the ad the first time a few days ago.... looked to me like Katie Brown got most of the time in the ad. More power to them both... it is hard enough to make $$$ in this sport without other climbers getting all rabid about it! Looks like petty jealousy to me!

If your occupation on your tax form is 'professional climber', you're more than worthy of participating in an advertisement depicting rock climbing.
I hope he cashes in. It's a rare talent that Honnold has and he should capitalize on it to the fullest while he can.

I bet most of you would do a Viagra commercial for the money.
I would do a Viagra commercial for free.
Seriously.

Sender films just asked if I had any footage of the John Bachar TV commercial ("Essence of Shaving" for Gillette) for which I was a chief rigger back in the day (around 1984/5). 10 days for 30 seconds of footage. Anyone seen it?

Seen it...but not in a long, while, John....
One of my recent jobs has been to man the remote and change the channel when that shitibank commercial comes on..... It goes bad for me if I don't at least mute it before that awful song!

I worked on the Citibank commercial. It was great gig.
That song is pretty bad though.

I'd be willing to bet that a lot of us here on ST have worked on or in commercials or ads or stupid commercial films of one kind or another. Probably most of us would refuse to work for a tobacco company, but other than that... Well, if it buys another year in the dirt, who's going to turn it down?
Tami and I can kind of look down our noses at most of you (even though we're both short) cuz the big commercial we worked on actually saved our country, but the truth is we'd have done it anyway.

Damn right. If it weren't for us, you'd have two northern neighbors, not just one. It's all here on ST somewhere.

Any idea what route (if it was an actual route) that they were doing? Looks pretty cool!
And by the way, I would sell out for a one second cameo to get 100k. Not sure there are too many people who read this board who wouldn't! :)

The route that they are climbing in the commercial is Ancient Art, but they did some close ups at Dead Horse Point. Off limits to climbing btw.
We found a bunch of bolted on holds on the rock where they filmed Mission Impossible.
Ol' Tom was doing the iron cross pretty much where Alex is on the arete.
He's a super cool dude.
