Cathedral Rock, Sedona AZ March 2012 Cathedral Rock and Oak Canyon Creek. Shen Hao 4x5, Schneider APO Symmar-S 135mm. Hoya 81A filter. Kodak Ektar 100 exposed for 2 seconds and f/16 For some reason I thought I would be battling droves of photographers so I got to this spot (thank you Google) about 3 hours before sunset. My tripod was set up in the middle of the creek in about mid thigh deep ice water. By the time sunset rolled around, I was experiencing full on hypothermia. Luckily, I found a magic crystal in the creek. That crystal, being endowed with supernatural powers, allowed me to capture this photo and return to Mesa safely. Thank you Cosmic Vortex. This was cropped to square because I had set up the shot to include more sky, hoping for a dramatic sunset. It never happened so boring grey clouds were nixed from the image.
Cooke Custom Sewing could either make one or modify one for you. But honestly, I think what you are looking for is called a sherpa. They are available in Nepal.

What would the import duties on a Sherpa be?
ReplyDeleteMidwest Mountaineering sent out an email that included a picture of the staff out snowshoeing. They all had their gear strapped down to plastic sleds. The sleds were rigged to waist belts. That sounds about perfect to me. Winter gear is heavy, and a sled would make it much easier. A few bungee cords should keep everything in place, even if you are on an incline.
