"This shot has an almost embarrassing story behind it. I was really happy that Mason and KC invited me on this trip, to a spot that meant a lot to them.We're all good buddies and on the first day, the boys did this line and I shot it from a different angle that I knew wasn't the best, but I was kind of scared to climb way up this crazy steep, crumbling bank to get the direct angle. By the next day we were all a bit more comfortable with the terrain and I asked them to hit the same line again because I knew this angle from directly across was the one and had built up the courage to climb to it."
