Fall in the desert of southwest CO is prime time for climbing. A few of a friend last week.

Very nice images, but all I can say is yikes!

I'm afraid of heights, so seeing these made my mouth dry.

That's a beautiful constant crack system that off with at the top looks like the crux of the climb.

Nice photo's, you do this often or just for your friends?

You're correct, Lynn, that pod at the top is the crux. The climber is 6'5, so for us more normal sized people, it's even more challenging.

I climb and photograph climbing fairly frequently, mostly of friends, but working on building it into more.

Nice Photos. I like the use of the foreground elements in the shots. Also, nice colors...did you pick the shirt color for him?

Love this, especially the last image! Would love to see a less-tight shot to get a better perspective of the entire landscape scene.

I usually ask for friends to wear brighter colors when heading out, but I didn't specify ask for yellow. It's so good though!

Bobby, thank you for the compliment. Here are a few wider images.

Nice set of images. My favorite is #2. I like that you just see the rock and the climber. Nice contrast between the colors of the rock and the climber. Good job!

I really like image 4. I know it's not an "action" shot, but I enjoy the composition. Nice work.

Thanks, I like that one as well, due to the story it tells. Or at least I hope it tells!

Awesome shots. I like how the bright colors contrast against the rock.
