Check out Kathy Karlo. Young, incredibly dynamic, photographs well, great personality. Has built a following being nothing other than herself. Only got her first sponsorship very recently. There are better climbers, but few who engage with life so enthusiastically.

Also second the idea of looking into chick_on_ice. I've only met her once, but she had personality.

The cod piece harness could be epic. But to keep the audience you would have to do multiple whippers in it every episode.

You could also make a case for Chongo as the technical/spiritual advisor for this team.

Back when the idea of a climbing-related reality show was comedy...12 years ago.

Erik Eriksson should be in the pool of candidates.
That man knows how to get it done with no bullsh#t.

If it centered around JTree locals it would never make believable "reality" TV.
The characters would be too "interesting".
The viewing public would never buy it as anything but fiction.
Just hang out with the Mayor for a week. You'll get just a sample.
The primary thing that's kept me doing this for 45 years are the characters you get to know. No other avocation like it in that respect.

Will "voted off the island" translate into "untied from belay and booted out to space?"
I'd tune in.

I vote for Donini, Ryan Gosling and that other super hot guy; locker.
It is too bad that if this was done well only climbers would like it.
Maybe all of the episodes could be about doing a big climb on a different drug! The "heroin episode" might be a bit boring, but the 72 hour "trucker cocktail episode" could be fun. Maybe an episode where climbers do The Nose with only passive gear, no cam hooks either.

Anybody except the usual suspects
Donini is perfect
Sadly real climbers will not like the final cut, it will be choreographed drama, folks yelling at each other, a lot of BS

"First she was sequestered in a Los Angeles hotel room for five days while producers decided on 14 out of 50 people that would make the final cast. Once selected to compete and live at "the ranch," ... contestants were not allowed to call home for six weeks. When they eventually do get a chance to speak to friends or family, the five-minute call is monitored by production"
Yep, sign me up.

67 posts and no one has mentioned the obvious choice that will make this show the Honey Boo Boo of 2015?
I'm talking "Werner and The Weedge".
Match up the Thousand Year Old Man with a penchant for Twinkies, ciggies and disdain for stupid Americans with a Post Cobain Nihilist Beat Poet who drinks too much and thinks even more.
Have them work naked and I guarantee Discovery Networks will sign their asses.

I think you need a Brit. Maybe Johnny Dawes. Too bad Whillans is no longer available.
