Sue, thanks for the comments. They are reppelling, but they were hooked up pretty weird, they were using belays instead of figure 8's, thus causing their stop hand to be infront of them. They pretty much had to force their way down.
The photo seems a bit constrast-y with hotspots and black spots. Is that caused by jpg compression?
Also, I noticed that the running line of rope beneath their rappel racks (figure-8s? Biners?) is not hanging vertical. I think if you rotate the photo to make the line straight up, it will add to the excitement by more fully representing the pitch of the rockface they are rappelling. You don't even need to crop it square again. Leaving the photo on the skew might make it more dynamic; the corner they're rappelling from will be even higher.
Quick question for my own understanding (and nosiness), are they rappelling or are they being lowered after climbing the face?
All in all, nice job, Kyle. I like your work.
Well, that's my two cents. I'll go back to my corner now. :-)
