sigh.............looks sooo good
Man, I wish I was a climber when I was in Cape Town... Makes me sick.
personally I don't see the big deal. The pic seems too dark to me, and it would benifit from being quite a bit larger.

Heartfelt thanks to colo for summarizing what is best and most relevant about this picture.

no reason to be a front page pic... i can see the pixellation without any blowup at all.

Some climbers, who dont care much about photography like pics because theyre good shots of ...guess what...climbing! I agree its not a "good" picture, but it makes me miss climbing and reminds me of being on the rock again (even though Ive never done anything near that awesome:) ) So, Id say its a damn good shot.
Absolutely disagree with those above who say this is not a "good" picture. This is an incredible shot, with a very good, simple, striking composition. I like the darkness and contrast as well, at least on my laptop's screen. You're not using any technical photography "gimmicks" (limited depths of field, etc.), but this photo is nearly perfect in my book, and deserves the 10.

Nice!!!
...I would suggest cropping more of the top part out.... if you scroll down and view it with the rock taking up about a third of the photo it looks much better.... sacrifice rock and emphasise the mountains. The lighting on the climber is good.... I give it a 9....

I think cropping out the mountains would also be cool - its an odd angle - almost like the photo was flipped upside down, and he was looking over the edge..
