Nice video, but It would be great to say were is the big wall you were climbing. ¿Perhaps Amuri Tepuy in The macizo of Chimantá in Venezuela South America? ¿Am I wrong? Thanks for your answer

I’m a paraglider pilot so I’m used to heights but somehow the idea of hanging on a rope frightens the life out of me, I could feel my heart racing just watching this video. To do all of that and still have a grip of your emotions enough to take fantastic photos…….thats control! I salute you………twice.

Great video. Love Simon’s work. I would wager that the 600mm on the tripod isn’t nearly as close to the edge as it looks. Changing lenses on a rope is always a fun game…

i would never leave a lens at that position especially there alone (0:55) that lens i think is the nikon 600mm i dont know but it sure is fucking expensive…
cant even imagine through a 600mm nikon down the cliff….

cool video. shows the amount of work involved in getting climbing shots. and i was also afraid for the tripod-camera just at the edge!

Nice vidoe. but I hate the Tripod on the left during the interview, one 20 cm from a 100m drop. With the strap playing in the wind. One gust of wind and the camera and lens become part of the brand Flykon

Are you talking about the place in this video? Cause it’s not Venezuela bud, it’s the Blue Mountains, Australia.
