Wow, what a great composition! It almost seems like one of those manipulations with the lady added to an abstract scene.
First comment, that's a first!

Colorful and very well composed. The geometric shapes of the rock wall almost appear to form a face of its own. Very artistic photo.

This is a great shot...they should use this in their ads!! I am terrified of heights unless i am "enclosed"....like flying, that doesn't bother me at all....but to be loose and dangling....well, let's just say it would not be a pretty picture!!!!

I would never have the nerve to try this (or the knees, either, now). This makes a great pattern.

Lots of ways to capture this scene. This pov helps to see the angular surfaces that must be traversed during the ascent.
