Long, lean, mus­cles on tanned hard bod­ies set against the back­drop of some epic rock. Climbers, by the very nature of their sport, can’t help but exude sex­i­ness since being in peak phys­i­cal con­di­tion is para­mount for those wicked boul­der­ing prob­lems, mul­ti-pitch adven­tures, and send­ing that nev­er-before-climbed badass route. To pay my respects to these climbers for their hard work and chis­eled physiques, I cre­at­ed this list of the Top 8 Hottest Climbers in the Sport.
