But it is interesting in this Age of Social Media that people are their own product.

Tami, have you ever looked at some of the websites that provide instruction/tips about how to brand yourself? They are . . . well, I don't know what they are.

But wait...has anyone asked her on one of those Tumblr Tuesdays whether the leader should clip the belay anchor?

That could settle it once and for all.

Now all you little boys just run off and play GTA or Call of Duty IV......
Call of Duty IV?
Sorry gramps, but your knowledge of "young person stuff" is seven Call of Duty games behind the times.

There is another angle here, to me it's about figuring out a way to make a living centered around what you love. Ms. Quitiquit says as much in her short bio film. Good for them, loved Quitiquit in Sweetgrass' Valhalla.

Athlete? Model?

I dunno...

Her model potential seems pretty high, but she appears to have zero dirtbag points.

That's a big credibility gap!

Why would anyone in their right mind market to dirtbags? You would go broke faster than they do.

You're talking about the model and the corporate part.

I'm talking about the climber part.

It's all good. I don't care what any of them do! :)

It's all about the ability to promote yourself, for people who are into getting famous and 'sponsored.' Sierra was good at it I guess. Honestly, I see hotter girls in my climbing gym all the time.

Tami, I don't think a hot guy with average rock skill would be sponsored by any major climbing brand. Too many good looking crushers out there. Alex Megos, Chris Sharma, Adam O....nevermind.

I mean unless you are creme of the crop of sponsored climbers you are not really making money right? Sponsors give some of these a free jacket or a pair of shoes, so for them it is more about status and attention? People are silly creatures.

Who told you dirtbag are poor? Lol most of the dirt bags I know have a good amount of $. Either saved up, trusts or education to pick up where they left off once they get back to work. If you have no money you can't buy all that shiny gear, you can't travel, you will have to go to work and support your family.
