Shooting from a distance

My idea to shoot the route "Outside Corner" didn't really come together. As I become more and more interested in shooting climbing, there is more I realize I need to learn. There are a lot of good shots that can just happen, but setting up a shot from a distance can take a lot of research. Some of these shots turned out to be okay, but there aren't any that I am particularly proud of. Regardless of how the shots turned out, I am glad we went for it.

 

 

Grillin' and Chillin'

I sleep with my eyes open. I don't know why, but it is a rather annoying thing to wake up to. It is all that much more awkward when I sleep in public. I have woken up to people taking my picture. Day after day, morning after morning that is how it goes. This morning was no different. I woke up at 6 a.m. to get to a bike race and I scrambled for some eye drops. Just in case you are wondering, my sleeping with my eyes open has nothing to do with the rest of this post. It is just a bit of useless information about my life that I felt like sharing.

The race was fun, I am a little heavier than last year so climbing hills has been a little bit more difficult for me. I have now decided that I will stop eating everything I can get my hands on, which has been the story for the past few months. Eating breakfast 3 times is probably a bit much. I came in 10th place.

Later that day we headed up Big Cottonwood Canyon for some grillin'. We grilled up some dogs and checked out this awesome little climbing spot. We will be heading back there soon.

The climbs are right next to this sweet little waterfall

Kickin' back, listening to some music and downing some dogs.
