Had another go at climbing shots today but was a bit rushed because my girlfriend kept telling me she was cold. All with a bit of flash
C+C welcome

Three and Four are cool! I try not to get to many butt shots when Im shooting climbers! lol. hard to do though if your not up in front of them.

thanks for posting the climbing shots!

I tend to agree, when I first started taking climbing photo's they were nothing but butt shots. You really need to go that bit extra and dangle yourself out over the edge above those climbing to get the facial expressions and fingers hard at work for the classic climbing shot IMHO.
Nice shots all the same and its good to see different areas from around the world where other mad climbers are doing there thing!

Thanks Fastscan,the first 2 shots would have been very dangerous to go to the top not being a climber

Well we definitely don't want to hear about any photogs falling off the top of a cliff somewhere trying to get the prefect angle!
Ask the climbers (assuming you know them) to bring an abseil line and a spare harness so you can sit out over the side, it gives you the ability to capture alot of shots of the progress up a climb from a great angle. Just be prepared for a loss of blood to your legs if you sit too long !!
