Another one from the archive. Unfortunately, I have no idea who this climber is. She was in our "tour" group, but I took this before I started getting model releases.

I overexposed "Red" a good bit in this shot. I cannot remember if I was using an 81a/b filter or I just did it in Photoshop. When people think of Hueco, they think "Red", so voila....lots of red.

I was digging around for some shots and found this one...It was taken Christmas 05. To get the angle on this shot, I had to climb up and around, and then precariously hang off this friable (and sharp) edge with my right hand and shoot with my left...it SUCKED (my foot hold kept breaking too...) I was like 10 feet off the deck, looking at a big roll down a stone gulley ...but the shot turned out OK.
