Ascending for Photography // 2021

Ascending and fixed line rigging are used extensively for photographing at height. This course focuses on how to set-up and photograph from a fixed line. It is geared toward people who are already comfortable with using their camera, but want to start taking top down photos of rock climbing. No prior rock climbing experience necessary, but preferred. Be ready to photograph real climbers on day 2!
