Maria Franco
Maria is sooo not a climber chick. She likes sporting the climber grunge look but is far from being authentic! Maria's first and only experience being on the rock was in the summer of '98 when Brad asked her to come with him on an overnighter and stay on a portaledge.

Little did she know that it would be very difficult to "relieve" herself so many meters above the ground! Maria was even MORE confused when she discovered she had no where to plug her curling iron, let alone no room service?!?!?! But Mark was kind enough to offer to "turn the bed down" -- haha Mark. Not only was that EPIC for her, but she couldn't even catch the last morsel of food that Mark threw down to her. It was a looooong night.
