"This photograph captures adventure photographer Corey Rich capturing promotional footage of renowned free-climber Alex Honnold.
Location: The scene was captured during a climb on the 5.12c Equinox route in Joshua Tree National Park, California.
Technique: To get the ideal angle, the photographer secured an aluminum ladder perpendicular to the rock face and stood on its end.
