I personally don't think you need a film to get you a sponsorship. Maybe over in Europe, since they have a lot of crazy climbers, but in America you could get a sponsorship from practically anyone.

Woh I have to come and live in America! Is it sooo easy to get it over there?

Maybe because the climbing style is different, .13s and .14s are a little harder here than they are over there. But if you can climb .14 then you just need a few comp titles and even prAna will sponsor you.

Depends on the sponsorship though. Getting cash for flights and gas is much harder than getting a free pair of climbing shoes, approach shoes, crashpad, harness, gri-gri and chalk put together, even if it costs the same. You need to know someone in the business. Who are you looking to get sponsored by?

mmH I'm hoping to get sponsored by Petzl, Prana and Scarpa! Love these brands! I'm going to start competition next year. But here in Belgium aren't many comps, that's the problem. It ain't that easy to get well known here.

I'm sponsored by Madrock right now...prAna and petzel are big fishes to catch! But I can see it happening, Robin. What's the hardest you've sent this side of the Atlantic?

Can't believe you haven't started competing yet. Luck you though, you've got all the world cups on your continent.

The hardest thing we did in Yosemite was The nose on El Capitan. And we did many 5.13's and 12's in the month we were there!
I think to participate to a world cup I should be a lot better.

If you don't think you're pushing your hardest now, well...I can't imagine what your limits are. Do you keep one of those 8a records? They publish a book of crazy good climbers every year, try to get yourself in there by next year and show that to a rep. It could really help.

Then again, it is much harder for you guys to get a ranking, huh? There are so few woman that a friend of mine is in there three times with three pictures, and she's only 14.
