it is a sunny crag climb, isn't it? I still think it needs a curves adjustment regardless because the original displays a little flat. The contrast could still be upped but perhaps without additional red, or maybe even a little more blue.
While we're at it, I blew the colours on his face out pretty bad, which I think is the worst issue, but the darkness of the climber compared to the scene was one of my two major issues with an other wise pretty solid image.

It's definitely overdone, and there should be some gradation and refinement to it, but that brings me to my second issue that the image is too busy and my eyes lock somewhere in the middle. The excessive blur creates a similar issue, mostly because it makes the belayer a little hard to make out and removes some of the sense of dimension. Instead of reducing focus on the bottom left it just sort of canceled it out, Even so, if it were my image I'd add a certain amount of blur.
Also, while we're on it, I was sloppy with the burn tool.
