More than 100 feet above ground, this expert climber was stuck at this very difficult spot for quite a few minutes.
Can you help him?

What a tense moment captured! Excellent image that works perfectly in black and white. V

When in doubt, follow the chalk. He should move left and a bit higher, past the bolt on his left. Follow the crack another 3 feet and anchor. Climb the next pitch from that chalk covered location. Vote.

You must have been close on his heels. Are you a climber Simon.

Perhaps he needed some minutes rest, anyway, very strong moment and composition, V

Wow, what a dramatic action capture! Not only is his mid-climb pose excellent, but you have captured what looks to be some concern on his face. V.
