Here we share some photos from climber and photographer Kyle Richardson (@kylerichardson), based in the US.

It is well known that the US has become a mecca for climbing over the past few decades with athletes coming from around the globe to the various national parks found in the country. Climbing has gained a new level of popularity recently, especially with the award winning documentary film Free Solo becoming a mainstream success.
