Sorry to be the party-pooper but as much fun as this is, due to the crack at the base of the boulder, the guidance is still to NOT climb on this boulder.

Not if it encourages people to climb on a banned boulder.

I've given it 5. Shame on everyone who voted 1. You never did the odd naughty thing when you were a teenager ?

Well, it's certainly not worth more than 2*, because it's such a poor, loose composition, given the dynamic and interesting subject matter. The photographer was simply too lazy to move in and get something less confusing that might show us the nature of the climb better. The climber has disappeared so unfortunately into the trees in the background that it's scarcely acceptable. Also, it's scarcely acceptable technically, being massively underexposed as a result of auto exposure stopping down too far with all that very bright sand.
Tip for anyone taking climbing pictures (at all seriously): carry several coloured t-shirts in your sack to give to the climber. (I always used to carry spare white, yellow and red t-shirts in my sack for this purpose.)
