yes, cool shots.. i am a bit bitter about the alex puccio ones... i think those photos were taken the weekend of hound ears, and her ass-hole photographer yelled at me because i topped out a problem that apparently ended right where they were photographing her, and i messed up the shot. i got scrappy! don't photograph pose shots during a comp, damnit! (although alex was cool, and the shots they chose were from elsewhere in boone anyways)

Yelled at you. You should have shoved the camera up his ass.

those shots kinda sucked ass in my opinion. Stupid ass posed shit. I cant believe those girls went for it. Not to mention that they dont really show the climb "life" and what not. But cool that it was in NY Times for sure.

lol F-you! definitely almost slipped out.... guess them big city folks just don't know no better....
definitely a cool concept to feature women though, even if the photos were posed (steph davis magically laying on yosemite or whatever that photo was, clearly was not natural). i guess any publicity is good....
