It's a Cold Climb

It was a first for me to see climbers out in such cold temperatures! If you look on the top of the rock to the far right, you can just make out the outline of a climber standing. It's been so cold here (highs in the teens), I'm not sure why anyone would attempt to climb, but hey, I bet the view is gorgeous up there!
A gorgeous shot and amazing capture of the climber!!

Great capture. Just curious, did you see the climber when you took the shot or afterwards on you computer?

@webfoot Thank you Paul! I saw the climber while taking the shot! There were actually 4 or 5 of them up there, but the others were sitting down. It was only 11 degrees for a high that day, so I bet climbing was a challenge!

Wow, what a great picture!

Great shot, not only is it too cold for climbing it sounds too cold for photography to me.

great shot - lovely processing - and climbers like the challenge of climbing in difficult conditions

What a Beautiful Shot! Good Job!

beautiful scene, nice colours and processing; a couple of my brothers climb and they said they preferred the cold since it was less crowded and only experienced climbers would be out.

Must be crazy.. Awesome shot.. another stunning scene

Man, that looks beautiful from afar, but to climb it in the winter is just not for me. Whenever my husband and I watch those climb Mount Everest documentary shows or movies like The Eiger Sanction we both look at each other and say "I have NO interest in doing that!"

I cold never do something like this... climbing with cold weather... too extreme for my "tropical blood".

another great composition ;)

A stunning shot! I cannot imagine climbing up there!
December 7th, 2011  
thats a very cool perspective and shot.

That is dedication. My fingers would be numb before I'd begun. I love all these red rock formations.
December 8th, 2011
