Windy Point On Catalina Highway — Images and video by kenne
August of 2010, only two months after arriving in Tucson, I was driving up Catalina Highway. Like many people new to the area, I stopped at Windy Point, which provides great views of the Tucson valley area.
After leaving my car, I noticed some young people rock climbing. They were actually climbing the Windy Point Rock Spire to do a photo shoot on the top. While they were climbing and later taking photos, I took photos of them.
After climbing down, I introduced myself and gave them my business card, telling them to contact me if they would like any of my images. I never heard from them.
Now, some three years later, I decided to do another posting on this photo-opt that became a project by accident.
In the summer time I’m up in the Catalina’s about three times a week and think of the rock climbers each time I drive by Windy Point.

Nope. Not ever.
Yikes, my fear of heights would kick on this shoot.
That’s an amazing video Ken and the photos are just brilliant too. The whole thing makes me feel quite dizzy. I see the young lady didn’t wear any protective clothing they must of been very good climbers.💜💜
Youth carries with it more risk.
Yes indeed it does ….we’ve been there and got the t-shirt 💜
