Superb? OK it's a decent shot but it's a picture of someone's arse and some snow. It's not even really in focus.

It isn't technically perfect, but I think this is superb - it is very well composed, and gives a feel for the exposure of the climb.

Its a great picture of this pitch, considering the effort required to balance on a belay while holding a rope, dodging ice chunks and spindrift, frozen gloved fingers etc......Show me a better one. Some times pictures may not be perfectly framed and exposed correctly but good climbing shots on serious Winter routes are few and far between. So a 5.

since there have been a couple of nice comments about this photo and since it has now appeared on the news page... I thought I better point out that it was in fact taken by my buddy sion brocklehurst and not me (it is however my arse that you can see)
