I like this shot. Surprised it's only got 3 stars. Conveys the sheer exposure of one of the greatest classic crags in Britain.

Thanks for the kind words Gordon. We made the cardinal mistake of not wearing bright clothing and taking a 'snap' while Phil was concentrating on the climbing. The shot does capture our experience well though: 7.15pm and the last team on the crag after sitting out a long wet morning in the van. Feeling a little lonely and shivering in softshells while the oblivious Pass was soaking up the evening sun. And yet gleeful to be in such a position after 20 odd years of dreaming and over-hyping an 'intimidating' classic. Perhaps we waited too long - it was pretty cruisey on the day :) Jon

Difficult to work out from the thumb. A better action shot if the climber was much closer to the camera and possibly increase the contrast and darken the crag a touch. Background is ok.
