Saw some guys rockclimbing yesterday when I went for a hike up a mountain. I yelled across the crevasse whether I could take photos of the guy sitting on the cliff edge. The guy yelled back "YEAH THAT'S FINE."
So I took some shots and then I yelled: "YOU WANT ME TO EMAIL YOU THE PHOTOS?"
He said: "THAT WOULD BE GREAT, THANKS!"
"OKAY WHAT'S YOUR EMAIL?"
The guy, sitting on the cliff edge, yells back: "FIRST NAME - CLIFF....."
I paused. "YOU'RE A ROCK CLIMBER AND YOUR NAME IS CLIFF?"
"YEAH!"
'YOU GIVING ME A FAKE EMAIL ADDRESS?"
They all laugh. He yelled that his father gave him that name, nothing he can do about it.
Turns out his email address was real and he loved the photos.
He replied:
Also, my Leica M10 fell out of its holster on to a rock when I was climbing to get a better angle. It now has some minor scratches and is slightly out of alignment, will have to send it in for a CLA.

Thanks for keeping me company on the top of Gibraltar Peak, great to chat to you yesterday.
Thanks for the photos, these are great! Climbing often takes you to some beautiful vistas but it’s so hard to take good photos while doing it! So I really cherish shots taken by others.
