GQ is getting lots of flack for a photoshoot of "three premier climbers and a couple of cute friends" (what a nice way to refer to women!) at Joshua Tree National Park. The bikini-clad women are mere accessories to the men scaling the sides of boulders.
Thankfully, gear company Outdoor Research called out this casual sexism with photos of their own. Check out the original GQ images on the left and the Outdoor Research photos on the right:

Notice anything different?

Looks kind of funny when male models are striking the same sexy poses for a shoot about rock climbing, huh?
Seeing Outdoor Research shut down sexism is great, but the photos of badass female rock climbers are even better:

And they prove women are just as good at rock climbing as any guy.
