Description
A rare photo with me in it! I am sat on top of the cliff belaying Iain who is seconding my climb. I am very well anchored by rope and gear placements, otherwise if Iain had fallen off I would've been following him head first!
I started climbing with Iain about 12 years ago, so we are both very experienced climbers. However, I think we were discussing which pub we should visit that night when this was taken!
Photo taken by Canadian Andy.
Photo then converted into b/w (because the natural light was pretty crap), then de-blured as much as possible (because Canadian Andy doesn't take very good photos), and then the obvious lighting effect added (because it looked pretty dull without it) by me.
Thanks for looking!

Well I think you've done a damn good job on the postwork - the POV is obviously fantastic and one which many non-climbers would be able to achieve, so credit to Canadian Andy for that at least, but also, he's done a great job of giving us a pretty decent shot of you - like the king atop the mountain! You look so confident sat up there - you must have nerves of steel my dear friend! I love these climbing shots and hope to see many more of them - it's who you are afterall!! Great shot Carl - thumbs up from me!! Hugs. Chrissy xxooxx

Excellent viewpoint!!!! Always fancied rock climbing in my youth but never got round to it. Spent too much time cycling though went underground in later years running a venture scout group. I think the only flake I could manage now is a Cadbury's one! Thanks for sharing.

Excellent work with a great perspective. I give you credit. This is something I do not have the courage to try. I like the "black and white" in this as well... very fitting!

Wow! What an interesting and dangerous shot here. Wish I had the youth like you to scale these walls like this. Thanks for the comments on Waipio Beach... Excellent job. Aloha
