Look like some brave souls (and much fitter than I). No bumps and bruises, I hope!

I'm not sure what your intent is, but they would be more dramatic to me if the mats and non climbers holding up their arms to catch them, were cropped out.

One thing I do know, is no one had their nails done for this day.

This does not look like the sport of choice for 240 lb doughnut eaters.

You have a super wide angle and can obviously get close to these guys. Get closer and really overplay the reaches they make. With a 16mm you should be able to get a hand in the upper corner of a shot and fill the frame with the climber.

Climber and rock, and try to make the shot fall off into nothingness. The mat below blows that though or someone elses hand stuck in the shot. Illusion is the trick since you can get so close to them...

Looks like this is a nice spot to use a camera on stick.
