Yo! Basecamp

Ξ August 31st, 2007 | → | ∇ Lifestyle, People, Climbing, Mountain Adventure, Fun Stuff |

So recently I was invited along to photograph a rock climbing camp for kids in the High Sierra called Yo! Basecamp. The owners are husband and wife team Andy and Lisa Puhvel, and its just incredible what they’re doing with and for these kids. The kids get a wonderful experience of camping in the High Sierra and getting to climb and boulder on impeccable sierra granite with world class instructors. They also get an incredible bonding experience with other like minded kids in a very special place.

The kids I got to meet were so inspiring. Such thoughtful, caring, fraternal, dedicated young people. Even though most of them had never met before, they seemed as if they were all old friends.

One of the world’s best climbers Chris Sharma was along as a special guest instructor on the camp I attended. Chris has established and climbed many of the world’s hardest climbs. He’s a total celebrity, and yet in person he’s one of the nicest, humblest, most down to earth people you’ll ever meet. I’ve known Chris for about 8 years now, and thats something I’ve always admired in him.

Hope you enjoy the show and the pics!
