Ok, I admit it. I'm a sucker for women in uniform with authority (e.g., women firefighters, police, IDF/soldiers/military, park rangers, chicks with guns, etc). But I gotta admit women mountain guides top them all. I'm going to go out on limb here suggest two candidates for the sexiest American female mountain guide.

1. Lel Tone (Chugash Powder Guides - I know, it's not technically mountain climbing, but she has worked for Shasta Mountain Guides)

2. Mellisa Arnot (Rainier Mountaineering)

Your nominations? Your thoughts?

Also, to be fair to the ladies, who do you think is the sexiest American male mountain guide?

I'll admit Ed viesturs is a handsome man..

I find all women who do outdoor sports to be sexy.

Um. No. Some, yes. But not all. Not negotiable.

You can't disagree with me. I do find all women who do outdoor sports to be sexy. Maybe you find the same women not to be sexy, but still, you can't disagree with a subjective opinion. It would be like disagreeing with me that I find vanilla ice cream to be the tastiest flavor. Which I do.

Outdoor chicks may be "sexy" in appearance, but they're all "coco en la cabeza."

I have no interest anymore in outdoor chicks.

Why are medical scissors(?) a part of her standard kit for skiing?

I didn't follow the link but I have a pair of medical scissors in my little first aid kit I carry climbing, skiing and hiking. They have a flat side for sliding under clothes/bandages and against the skin so the skin is not at risk form being cut. While guiding I rescued two women who had fallen in a deep moat. We set up a hauling system and pulled them out. Their wet denim had to be cut off, we couldn't pull them out of their soaking wet, freezing clothes.

chocolate in the head?

I think they are crazy sometimes, but chocolate?

There are some who think they are really sexy too, but in reality, they are heavier than what is considered 'sexy' bby most, and in the end, they are simply butterfaces. I can point to several , but not in this forum!

In the past when I was a lot more involved in climbing than I am now, I purposefully avoided dating girls from my climbing envoronment. The reason was simple - guys and chicks from my climbing club switched teams every couple weeks or months between one another. The result was that former best mates didn't shake hands or sit at the same table in a pub because of a girl problem, years after the respective relationship was over. I ended up married with a non-climbing girl who hates this sport. Take your pick.
P.S. Luckily she's into swimming, cycling and running which I also love

Boy SLR you have some grief coming your way. The "SP Hot Chicks" will be speaking out I'm sure.

Not there's anything wrong with that

Luckily, I was able to glean the true meaning of "switching teams" from the rest of your post !

Back to the subject. Mellisa Arnot, is HOT!

What I was wondering about was the use of female vs woman, but then I found this :
