Weird perspective and not a bad photo but he's using tooooooo many holds and not
enough jams.

2 ana half stars for the brite shirt, minus 1 for the bad tilt of pic.
C ling making like a barnacle clingN on like that don't inspire me to get on it, but mebe he's doing that because his ropes are twisted?

@ gnaguts "tilt of pic"
It could be due a wide angle lense, but I suspect that you are right as I notice that when the dark crack in the background is made vertical that the gear on Chris's harness also hangs vertical...

Apart from that all the elements are there for a good photo, but knowing Pt Perp and its fantastic seascape ambiance, I also marked the pic down for not including at least some of the ocean below, as with natural assets like that it is an injustice not to use them to separate a climbing photo out of the general pack of same, into the unique/excellent category!!

~> Better, but not enough imo*...


* Which begs the question of 'Why the original tilt bias?'

The angle's just a result of the fact that I took the shot on my phone while I
was rapping down northern exposure to the left - I expect I kicked my feet
out from the wall or something. I kinda liked the perspective as it’s a bit
different to standard shots of Point (of which I have thousands...), but I get
that it's not everyone's cup of tea :-) Same reasons as to why it doesn't
include the sea. More standard pic of the route (inc. rap line) looks
something like this:
