hmmm... question, how to take photos like that? refer to second photo, super zoom from a cliff higher above? where do ice climbers keep their cameras when they have to carry the other equipments?

I read a book about Photography in Wilderness just now at the clubhouse, it says most good pictures of ice climbing are staged, and the photographer will abseil down to do it, woah!
