This fellow slipped on the top of the rock we climbed and fell quite a way before he managed to save himself. He then had to haul himself back up.
Like I said I would have helped him but I needed to keep the camera ready in case he lost his hold and fell to the canyon floor below.
Besides he was part of the group that I had christened The Florida Mafia
Dear Poppo,
well, I climbed a lot of mountains. That's why I know that in a steep face you are much more tense and your muscles are much more stressed than with this man on the photo, who is rather casually "hanging". If this really was a steep slope, then he would not have come as far as the picture suggests. Also the footwear is not really convincing.
But this photo is a very nice idea!
but somehow he seems to crawl on the flat ground instead of on a steep wall...
(Enjoy you country shots very much. So much different to mine. )
