This is probably one of my favorite pictures, anything you think I can do to make it better in post-production? Maybe sharper and lighten up the colors?

I think the pose is a good one. Also where you placed the silhouette of the cliff in the frame is good (using the rule of thirds). Unfortunately the climber isn't in full silhouette and he/she gets lost in the shadow of the cliff. You can help see the climber better by using a photoediting software like photoshop or photoshop elements to bring up the shadow detail of the cliff and climber while keeping the sky nice and blue.

Regards,
Paul

Sillouettes are nice, but you need to have the subjects body in it. Just the legs leave you searching for more. Where's his head/face/torso?

To combat this, fill flash (if you were close enough) would light up your climberand the climb without reducing the great colour from the skies.

Also the ropes at the bottom of the climb are very distracting to me. If you are doing a full sillouette, pull them in the rock so they are hidden. If you fill flash, use them accordingly, or pull them if you don't need them.
