Today, Maya, Nico, and the rest of the lodge crew tackled Jack’s Rake, a challenging climb with a lot of exposure (see the route pictured below). I become paralyzed when I am in such situations and would not have been able to complete the climb. Regardless, I had already decided to avoid further vertical climbing to protect my knees for the soccer season and was joined by Kyle for the day on a photographic expedition. Meanwhile, Jeanine joined Lou Ann (our hostess) on a shopping excursion to Keswick.
Below are a few of my favorite images from the day. The first is a second attempt at a photo I took yesterday. This time I returned with my tripod so I could make a long exposure and circular polarizing filter so the colors would pop. I think the difference was worth the effort.
