Shouldn't that be Nullarbor?

Great shot frog!
But what is with the unclipped cams?

The unclipped cams - funny story that. I was a bit scared of this route so decided to rap down and place some gear just before the runout crux section. There are two areas to place gear - a thin seam crack on the right (small wires) and 2m to the left are two bomber large cam pods. The cams are the good gear - the wires were a bit pox. Stupidly I didn't use double ropes so got up to the crux, clipped the low small wire, committed to the move to the cams and realized the rope would be almost a z-clip with rope drag so couldn't clip the bomber cams. But I was committed so I just kept climbing up. Silly me.

Three stars for the strip tease show taking place on the ledge below.
Minus one star for the right slanted tilt of the photo.
+ half a star for the trad runout by lead climber nmonteith.

Tilt of the photo was done in post process to draw the cracks to the corners. It balances the image me think.

Terrific photo of a great-looking route on a wonderful crag.
Like the way the photo is arranged so that the cracks go to the corners.
Makes me look forward to my next visit. Nice one!

A good photo of a photogenic location, and I enjoyed the stories belonging to it, however like DD I am somewhat put off by the post-photo-editing that appears to tilt the original framing.

I thought tools like photoshop could reframe smaller/larger to get a desired 'effect' thing without tilting, but obviously with a differently angled baseline to still retain the 'verticality' component?
It makes me wonder how it would look with the close-crack running to bottom centre of frame (instead of bottom RH corner), and the cliff-base that is currently bottom-centre, running off frame at bottom left corner?

@ M75 "I like the colours and the juxtaposition... :) "
~> Juxtaposition of colours, mediums in frame, or field-depths?
