Greedy Hands

Uploaded: November 06, 2006

Description

Taken: Raw, handheld, afternoon and overcast, AP f5.6, UV filter. (Some minor color adjustments otherwise straight from the camera.)

Climber, Kyle Goto red pointing a 5.12b (VERY difficult) Mokuleia, Hawaii. I climbed the route next to it, put myself on self-belay by way of grigri and hauled up my photography gear. I then rapelled down and hung in different spots to shoot.

This title's for you, Kyle :o) This is my favorite picture from the series.
