Free Solo of Zebra Zion
Expanding this week’s Photo of the Week vocabulary into the world of free-solo climbing, I bring you one of my favorite shots which was taken hanging 100′ from the top of Morning Glory Wall at Smith Rock State Park. Back in the summer of 2012, on sweltering 90 degree day, Scott Bennett and Brad Gobright decided to test their wits with an on-sight ascent, no ropes necessary, climb of the classic Zebra Zion route. These two elite climbers aren’t new to the world of ropeless climbing and were doing so well below their physical limit and previous experience of climbing big walls. Much respect and appreciation for their boldness and talent!
