yeah great pic....just curious if he's climbing on a single rope, or doubles with one strand hidden around the corner? if the former it looks pretty bold, with what 3-4 pieces of gear!
might just be the ab/top rope pulled out of the way. anyway i had a look at committed last night and Dave Mac does it on a single so i imagine this guy is too.
