Cool shot

Voted 10/10

It looks strange to see a guy climbing with a car / road in the background but it makes it a neat shot.

If I could only go back. climbing seemed so unencumbered. (Ok, I'd still want all of our modern gear).

Anyway I'm on the south fin looking north ( the northbound lane is closer to us) and the Tyrolean guy is southbound from the north fin and he is being belayed from the south fin.
