I had the chance to tag along with my brother(white shirt) and his friend on there rock climbing trip. Probably some of the hardest shots I've tried. I came home with 12 new bruises on my legs from hanging to get different angles. It was a blast though. Well worth it. Here are some pictures from the trip. These are taken at the Gorge here in Kentucky.

My daughter tried it for the first time a few weeks ago and today called to beg me to come climb with her. I told her I was afraid of death!!! But the more I think about it...I haven't done it....... might just have to. :)

there is no better way to get over a fear of heights than climbing. As a beginner, you would be top roping so when you fall, you really just peel off the rock, you don't drop. When your leg starts shaking when you try to make a move, its normal, funny as hell for the person watching.

The challenge is...after a day of climbing, I challenge you to open a can of soda with one hand. I have definately had to use my teeth to crack a beer after a day of climbing, forearms and fingers get too pumped and become useless.

Sweet photos, I usually take bouldering photos, its much easier. Climbing shots can be tough on gear, the slightest bump into rocks can be damaging.

If you're going to be doing a lot of shooting in rough places and/or inclement weather, these products are GREAT:
