Has there been some digital trickery on this - where's the rope?!

Why don't girls solo?

They've got more sense?

I get the same impression, that there's been some rope removal, but I'm not entirely sure why, it just looks wrong (and no, not because she's a girl, or wearing a harness).
Anyone with better eyes than me - does the shadow of her head look odd? Could that be where the rope was going up?

Nothing to do with 'girls don't solo'. I've done this route and what you can't tell from the pic is that this position is 10-12 m off the deck, with an unthinkable soloing fall down the slab, then over an overhang and onto steep rocks below. The climbing is also a bit precarious. There's great gear in that obvious break, so you'd have to be a bit mental to solo it.
But if she it soloing, then upmost respect to her.

If you'd like to checkout me leading & the real photo, I've just put them on. Not sure where you'll find them like, maybe search for aaronthehippy.
This was my first E1 and my mofo of a mate edited the photo of his missis, just to piss me off me thinks

It makes a lovely photo though doesn't it guys?

Nice photo for the people involved, but makes Padder look like a short, easy angled boulder problem. Perhaps it is!

Looks like a top rope has been airbrushed out.
