Trip To Rumney 2025
Earlier this year I went to Rumney NH with a bunch of rock climbing friends from Central Rock Gym in Rochester.
I wasn’t able to climb as much or as hard as I would have liked because of an elbow injury, but I made sure to bring along my camera, and I am so glad I did!
One of the many reasons that I love photography is how it can act as a conduit for building stronger connections. I knew many of the climbers on this trip, but I was able to learn more and connect with many folks from CRG who I had only exchanged a few words with.
Lizzy and Kat Stolling were my travel companions to Rumney.
Another reason I was glad I brought my camera was because it was very rainy throughout the trip, and there was lots of down time to edit photos.

I only sent (successfully accented) two climbs. Hippos on Parade, and The Terrace. And while I would have been fine just taking pictures on this trip, which does bring me a lot of joy, I am glad that I was able to get on the wall.

Managed to get up Hippos on Parade. Photo curtesy of Skye.
Please enjoy checking out the highlights from my trip. And if you need a photographer, please don’t hesitate to reach out!
