Übergrippen and Rich Taylor Photography are setting up a lead climbing photoshoot. Anyone is welcome to sign up. Here are the details.

Date: Wednesday, May 25, 2022

Time: 6 PM-10 PM

(We don’t need everyone showing up at the same time, nor stay the entire 4 hours. Rich will create time slots.)

We will select 10-climbers and have a waiting list for the rest.

We need:

• Teams of two.

• Must be lead climbing and belay certified with Übergrippen.

• Must have your own rope and gear.

• Must be able to follow easy directions.

• At least 6 climbers must be able to climb the overhang lead wall. When signing up, please specify if you can.

• A few must be able to take a fall. When signing up, please specify if you can.

Even though we will be climbing, this is a photo session. There may be times when Rich gives simple directions and may ask to hold a pose to photograph. He may also ask the climber to climb down a little and start again to get the right shot.

If you sign up, please show up! The success of this session is everyone sticking to the commitment. If you have to cancel, please give Rich at least a 24-hour notice so he can fill your spot.

When you show up for the session, you are required to sign a release form. This release allows Übergrippen and Rich Taylor Photography to use the photos for social media and any business/promotional use. Rich Taylor Photography may also submit the photos to magazines for possible publishing. Anyone under 18 must have a parent sign for the child.

What do you get? Awesome photos! Rich will release digital email/social media ready and digital print-ready files to anyone photographed. You can post and print as many as you like. All we ask is that you tag Übergrippen and Rich Taylor Photography when posting. Rich will also give a 50% discount on printing, but you can use your own printer.

To sign up, please send Rich Taylor an email at:

He will contact you and let you know if you are accepted or on the waiting list.

Anyone who is on the waiting list is still welcome to show up, and possibly be photographed.

Thank you, and we look forward to this photo session!
