    Nice! I really like the perspective on the first and last shots.

    Very enjoyable pics gus. I used to work at REI so I am familiar with the sport. I wish I was in better shape so that I could get out and take these kinds of pics. You get the best shots when you(the photographer) is also in a harness and out on the crags. I have more of the powerlifter build so I stay grounded or nothing too extreme.

    Great outing, mate! That one of the climber fully pushed out from the rock is fantastic, just as I expected. nod.gif

    Here's a few I didn't toss out...

    gus digging for his camera while I cling to the rock just below

    While gus was shooting the climbers with his long lens, I thought I'd capture the vista behind us

    and wide...

    And the view from where the climbers eventually topped out

    I know, he's a real punisher... 2 hours of hiking/photo-taking followed by strawberry picking (fresh pineapples too) macadamia nut eating, finished off with a scenic coastal drive and a heap of potato scallops, chips and a chicken burger on the bay at sunset. It was a killer sunday.
