Category Finalist 2010: Energy

Jed Weingarten

Outlet Falls had just seen its first kayak descent the day before this photo was taken. While I had some great images from that day, I spent most of the day kicking myself for not having brought the climbing gear I needed to rappel the 20 or so feet down to the vantage from which this photo was shot.

That night, I rallied a couple of local paddlers to go back out with me and see if there was still enough water. This time I brought my climbing gear, and not only was there still water, but more ice had formed over night. This was one of those rare moments when all the factors came together and the moment was captured.
