Someone tagged the boy on Facebook doing this up at Smith Rock in Oregon.
That's him up in the crevice.
Back in my youth, when I was about his age, I was going to school at UC Davis, and they had a program then called Outdoor Adventures, where you could actually learn to rock climb. Being young and indestructible, I did just that, and afterwards did a lot of top roping at Cosumnes Cliffs here locally. I even tested girlfriends by offering to teach them to climb. My now wife passed the test by being totally game to let me show her how. I think she may even still have her Fire climbing shoes somewhere.
Ah, to be young again...
