just read the issue of climbing in question.

slightly puzzled as to why ona  double page spread titled "natural gritstone: slabs and aretes" they've got a picture of someone on Oedopus. :?

Going back to the distarction that Beta suffered from the dead fit birds who go climbing thread.  a smattering of fitties would definately increase the circulation of these mags.
and its not even a new idea!!
check out any pre 1990 climbing mag (there are stacks in climbing huts) and find that every advert for ropes, thermals, krabs or whatever features a busty maiden with some small piece of kit covering any rudy bits. :shock:
aaaaaah the good old days.

Is this the sort of stuff you had in mind? A few classics from Crag circa 1980.
