After a cool and wet summer, we have been experiencing a wonderfully warm and dry autumn. Temperatures have been very mild, making for fabulous rock climbing on warm rock. One still needs to carefully choose the aspect since climbing in the shade means cool fingers and dramatically lower temperatures. Add to that, a wee bit of air movement, and one wants that light puffy jacket.

You’d think that all these wonderful colours and low light would inspire me to take a half decent camera. But I have settled for the iPhone and a touch of Lightroom filters to bring out what I saw on these climbs. Whether sharing new experiences with clients, friends, or family, in the mountains or on the water, fine autumn weather is magic. Don’t you think?
