Description

Firstly a huge thank you to all who viewed and commented on my last upload. i didn't expect it to be so popular! And so a picture of me rock climbing and hence my chosen name. I set up the camera on a tripod bellow the route and used a fob to take the picture when i thought i was in the right place - not as easy as it sounds when just bellow the crux moves on a climb that is graded as "very severe"! I nearly fell off pointing the fob at the camera! I know its not a very good photo but i like the silhouette and think it is reasonable given the circumstances. The route is called "Backbreaker" (this is what happens if you fall off and are lucky enough to still be alive) at Brimham Rocks, North Yorkshire, England. Thanks for looking!

Great capture. It looks extremely difficult. I would, or could, never do anything like this. I went climbing once (in the Cascades) and swore that if I would make it down in one piece I would never do it again, and I haven't!
