Desert Free Climb

A free climber begins her winter ascent of Big Bend National Park's Burro Mesa Pour-Off, a desert waterfall that is only active after substantial rains. She made it into the cave, but the slick, volcanic rhyolite at the higher levels of the pour-off made it impossible to continue. Photo taken January 14, 2013 with a Nikon D7000 and 18-55mm f3.5-5.6G Nikkor lens. Entered in the 2013 National Geographic Traveler Contest. Click photo to enlarge.

    Becca I love your pics! Saw your lovely sister yesterday, and she told me you were doing well so I had to see for myself!:)
    If you ever wish to visit the Angelina or Big Thicket area, or to tour the Neches/ Angelina River valleys, you have a free stay with us anytime! Loves.
