Red Rocks

Each January we post a farewell tribute to those members of our community lost in the year just past. Some of the people you may have heard of, some not. All are part of our community and contributed to climbing.

These upwardly mobile talents were selected from a field of 150 applicants to participate in Climbing’s photo-mentorship program, taught by pro photographers Irene Yee, Randall Levensaler, David Clifford and Duane Raleigh.

We rapped in the dark and clambered and stumbled out the long gully. We had headlamps, but the problem was keeping track of the trail when we got out of the scrub and crossed bare rock. We lost the trail and any visuals. These are big spaces.
