This past Saturday I drove up to Mickey's beach with Davis and Jeff, to photograph them and try my hand at a new angle for climbing photography. Davis set up a tag line from the climb's anchor, enabling me to use an ascender to get up high where the action was on the classic sport climb "Sex Porpoises", a 5.12c. It was a blast to try out, though it did present some new challenges. While a more comfortable harness is certainly first on the list for the next outing, I'm curious what anyone else might recommend for dealing with the wind causing you to spin uncontrollably in circles.
I'm happy to be trying new things with photography, I've always looked at is as a motivation to get outside and try new things. I hope you will too!
