MODEL RELEASED. Rock climber ascending a route on sandstone rock. His body is in the layback position, a technique where the climber leans backwards and to one side, with their arms held out straight and feet shuffling up the wall. In this way the climber uses the counter force of the hands pulling and feet pushing to ascend. Photographed on Harrison's Rocks, Kent, UK.
