Central Texas Climbing

This photo was taken at a local climbing crag in Austin, Tx. The name of this climb is "Over Easy." The climber here has just finished the crux, the most difficult part of the climb. In order to take this shot I had to climb the rock face about 40 feet above Barton Creek and anchor myself to the rock. I had double duty this day as I had to climb AND take photos! For all those who think it's not worth it to risk my life to get shots like this... I am a 15-year experienced rock climber. All safety precautions were taken in order to ensure I was safe at all times. The trick, however, was to take up my Nikon without getting a scratch on it!
