Description
04/09/13 - Climbing on Torre Grande, Cinque Torri, Dolomites, Italy.Camera data (Exif):
Canon EOS 6D

Exp 1/100 sec
ISO-100
Cinque Torri has to be one of my favourite climbing destinations in the Dolomites. A fantastic jumble of spires, pinnacles and boulders provides climbing opportunities of every type, all with a stunning backdrop. It's great hearing the shouts of other climbers echoing around the towers, a real community spirit in the vertical world.

she is, for free climbing there's no need of quickdraws and other gear...
beatiful shot, like the contrast between the panorama and the tension/focus of the climber!

I think you mean free soloing. Free climbing is actually climbing with gear only for protection, as opposed to aid climbing where you use gear to aid in the ascent.

Absolutely right! my bad for using the wrong name.
Anyway, my answer was aiming to point out you can tell she's roped by the fact she carries quickdraws, otherwise more than useless.
thanks for the correction.
