Jody Rock Climbing - Rumble in the Jungle

[merock]

Just recently, my friend Jody Hanson climbed this line out at Hueco Tanks Park. These climbs are rated on a "V" scale i.e. V0, V1, V2, V3 depending on there difficulty. The scale goes from V0 - V15. V15 has been climbed by maybe 3-5 people in the world. This climb is rated a V12 putting Jody into a very small category of women climbers who have climbed this rating. So congratulations to her!!! Here are a few images I got. Let me know what you think:

So... now of course the question is... how did YOU get to that position to shoot.

Those are really awesome and holy mackerel she's almost parallel to the ground and climbing. Major props.
