That's true if and only if you are in negative energy balance. GG didn't say that she was, or if she did, I missed it. Jay your answer came off kind of sneery (surprise!), like "what makes you think that eating that much protein would ever be a good idea?"
AND, (ptftw), you already sniped at camhead for how much protein he was eating.

I don't think I "sneered" or "sniped" at anybody. GG provided no context in her post for why she should increase her protein intake. You did.

i'd suggest getting a job and then they can sponsor you on a bi-weekly basis. they will pay for all of your gear, trips, food, rent, utilities, car payments, expenses, and contribute to your health insurance and 401(k). If you're smart, with your sponsor's regular payments and a good budget, you may even be able to put away some savings.

Oh..for the same reason I started reading it to begin with: entertainment value.

There is little to no good advice on this site. Closer to none in reality. Enjoy climbing for climbing. Enjoy friends, camp sites, views, and the memories you'll be building. If in the course of all of this, you find an opportunity to gain sponsorship; take a look at your life AT THAT TIME, see if it works for you and go from there. It doesn't work for everyone (no, I was never offered sponsorship). My point; climbing is an amazing experience unto itself. Completely rewarding with an amazing view of the Sierras ( or your local view) falling away into the distance and the pure joy of having cheap beer at a fire with the best people on earth (in our own opinions).

callie104 wrote: Hi, I started climbing in January, and I've kind of become obsessed. I'm working v4's and 5's in the gym, leading 5.10's, and projecting 5.11's on top-rope. I'm incredibly impressed with myself because I couldn't do a single pull-up until a couple of months ago and never thought I would be able to climb. I realize this is a pretty broad question, but what can I do to get better and maybe even be sponsored one day? Is it easier for women to become sponsored? Are there any training techniques up for recommendation? Is there generally a time frame at which someone reaches their "peak," or is climbing something that one can continually improve at? Thanks for any and all friendly input. :)
Climbing sponsorships only mean some free shoes and shirts if youre lucky. While Ive been paid $250+ per photo of random people Ive clicked while out climbing. Feel free to PM me and we can get your portfolio started lol.
