Climbing Windy Point Rock Spire — Image by kenne
A week ago I took some time to go take some scenic photos on Mt. Lemmon. On the drive up, I stop at one of the vistas, Windy Point. When I left Tucson, the temperature was 103 degrees, but Windy Point, which is about 7,000 feet in elevation, the temperature was a pleasant 80 degrees, which is another reason the less than an hour drive is very inviting this time of year.
Windy Point is a popular stop on the way up Mt Lemmon and a great photo opt site — this is where I took the “talking tree” photo in an earlier blog posting. When I was about to leave Windy Point, I noticed some people climbing the nearby rock spire and decided to climb up near the spire to take photos of the climb. It didn’t take long to realize that this climb was all about a photo shoot at the top of the rock spire. The following video has the photos I took of their climb and photo shoot.
