This is a composite shot. The Milky Way was shot at f/1.4, ISO 1600, and 15 sec. The climbing was shot at f/11, ISO 320, and 368 sec.

The climb itself is just over 100 feet tall.

where can i read up what all of that means? i only understand that you shot the milky way before and added if afterwards so the night sky wont get blurred,right?
