Long Exposure I took of myself climbing in The Needles of South Dakota with LEDs tied to my body.

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.

Does it turn into a shaft or something near the top? Why does your LED trail disappear there?

Or maybe you just went to the other side?

Yeah. You climb through the tower and then up the backside.
