This summer has been the summer of work. I’ve met alot of people who have opened up my eyes and ears to the photo business world and it has been very interesting. So on that note I haven’t climbed much for myself this summer, mainly concentrating on getting as many product shots as possible.

This morning saw Dave, Ally and myself head over for Digital Crack 8a on the Cosmiques arete. I think it has got to be one of the highest 8a in the world seeing as it’s at about 3800m in altitude. Composed of two pitches its a pretty scenic place to be with some pretty delicate and hard climbing thrown into the mix. Enjoy…
