Tim Kemple recently spent a day photographing three of New England's most motivated boulders: Lisa Pierce, Sandy Medeiros, and Janet Bergman. Tim writes "I would like to dedicate this 'slideshow' to the women who are featured within it. I know these images captured from only one day at the woods can't come close to illistrating the motivation, heart and respect you have for climbing. You all reflect the confidence that climbing brings, even in a communtity packed with obnoxious males, such as myself. To watch you climb and motivate as a group is awe inspiring. Your grace and power flowing over the toughest of problems causes even best of climbers to do a double take. Thanks for sharing your love for this sport with me. I've learned alot from you all!"
