You may have seen some of Rob Kepley's work in Climbing Magazine or other outdoor publications. He's a photographer from the Front Range that has spent a lot of time climbing, exploring, and shooting Eldorado Canyon and the Flatirons. You could say it's his home turf. I met Rob last year when I helped as a belayer on a shoot. Ian King, the Rubber Rambler, was the climber. He brought beers for us and had the most delightful demeanor. Ever since than when I've seen his work in magazines or on Instagram (@robkepley_photography) I've thought to myself, I want to talk to this guy. Well, I got my chance. Rob stopped by my month-to-month apartment in Boulder, CO to talk about his upbringing in North Carolina, why he moved out to Colorado, how he got introduced to climbing, and about his passion for climbing photography.
