Yeah thats true, there is some nice butt shots on RC.com.... but I have a thousand butt shot photo's on my mac that look just like yours  They aren't bad photo's but memories of me climbing so and so route or one of my mates playing around at the crag, what I would call a "snapshot"
Your colours are nice and the shadows are good but it needs some texture, some layers, what is your foreground, what is the back ground?
The best RC photo's usually consist of being about a person's emotions on the climb (facial expressions and body position) or the epic scale of the climb, wide angle shots of a massive valley with a climber perched off centre as your focal point.
If you can break out of those two moulds and get an awesome shot, you have done very well
