  • Richard Harrop bites the rope to make a clip on a 5.10.
  • I coaxed Richard into jumping on this 5.10, thinking his fatigue might give me some good fall shots, but unfortunately for me this road trip is improving his climbing. He sent it clean and I didn't get any falls!
  • Tracy works some positive holds on a 5.10.
  • Starting out a fresh day of climbing, Tracy and Jess both warmed up on this 5.6, feeling the pain of yesterdays climbs.
  • Jess takes a clean fall on a 5.6.
  • We had no clouds this day, so the sunlight gave me a mottled brightness to deal with.
  • Tracy reaches to make a clip on a shadowy 5.8.
  • Richard Harrop works his way out of the foliage on a 5.8.
  • A steep 5.10 goes down for Richard, ticking another off the road trip climb list.
  • Richard Harrop pulls through the moves on a 5.10.
  • A slight exposure of some tongue helps Jess pull through some difficult moves on this 5.10.
  • Jess' hands enjoy some nice holds on a 5.10.
  • Rough textures abound in the Kentucky woods, whether it be the chunks of rock looming in odd places or the details of the trees all a
  • Things were nice and relaxed with us. Eventually we sat down and just enjoyed some sunlight.
  • Richard's hat is starting to show some character.
  • On this morning we headed to the Phantasia Wall, and Kelsey started off the day climbing a 5.9+.
  • Richard makes his own way up with both Kelsey and I shooting him.
  • Climbing photographers often have fairly complex setups to get them the right angle. Kelsey's here is fairly simple, but took some effort to get to.
  • Kelsey Gray makes the first clip on a difficult 5.10b.
  • The next moves will be tough for Kelsey on this 5.10b.
