All the more reason to use a long lens!

Seems that while preparing to ascend a similar rock climb, a
free-range sheep took a skydive from higher above and landed with an
awful thud just a few feet away. The jumper was stone dead on arrival
from an unknown but assumed great height above.
No telling what might come down from above - and from a certain height
or higher it doesn't take much to be from "very dangerous" to deadly.
A hardhat is a wise piece of gear when even within a hundred feet or
two of cliffs. Remember that falling rock or ice may strike an
intermediate outcrop, ledge or spike etc and shatter - sending down
objects well away from the general face.
