Most rock climbers know to be cautious when climbing on Cannon Cliff, but this is underscored when you see loose talus with bolts in place. Taken in September of 2004, this photo shows some talus below Cannon Cliff in Franconia Notch, New Hampshire. The climbers are Jennifer Tennican and Will Mayo, we were heading up to climb some pitches for Jennifer’s film Benedictus.

Photo Details: Nikon F100 with 17-35mm f/2.8 AF-S lens and Fuji slide film.

I’ll take 60f & Sunny. I just returned from a two week climbing trip in California and Arizona. While there were a couple days with cool and cloudy weather, the trend was highs around 60f and sunny. New Hampshire has greeted my return with 35f and pouring rain, at least the ice climbing will be good when temperatures drop. This photo is of a Joshua Tree at sunset on December 11, 2009 in Joshua Tree National Park, CA.
