When the dapper folks at GQ published a photo essay last month featuring the extreme sport and style of mountaineering, athletes in the climbing community noticed a BIG problem.

The essay featured photos of three premier climbers and a couple [of] cute friends on a climbing trip at Joshua Tree in California. Unfortunately, there was a glaring issue with the photo essay: the aforementioned cute friends were all women, while the stylish climbers were all men. The cute female friends merely watched the guys from a distance or were photographed topless while being sprayed by a hose.

None of the women represented in GQs climbing spread were featured showing off any athletic prowess.
