This is the heart-in-mouth moment a daredevil climber dangles over the edge
of a 500ft cliff without any ropes.
Mich Kemeter is a world expert at free solo climbing, a discipline where
participants forgo essential safety equipment in search of that extra
adrenaline rush.
The 23-year-old was pictured in the Verdon National Park, France, by mountain
adventure photographer Alexandre Buisse, who takes extra care not to put
him off in case he falls to his death.

Getting a grip: As a free-climber, Mich does without the essential safety
equipment preferred by mere mortals to give him that extra adrenaline rush

Mr Buisse, 26, who follows great climbers around the world from the UK to
Nepal capturing their Spiderman-like feats.
He said: 'It can be dangerous, but we make sure that we do things the right
way, it is not dangerous to us.

'For the shot where Mich is on the 500 foot cliff we had to abseil down the
rock face for about 30 metres, or 100 feet, and then Mich removes the ropes.

 Don't look down! These shots emphasise the terrifying scale of the drop
that faces Mich if he puts so much as a single finger wrong on the solo
climbing expedition
'He then has to climb back up again himself while I am above taking the
pictures. Of course the biggest thing for me is not distracting Mich, I
don't want him to fall.
'Mich is a free solo climber and one of the best in the world. In some of
the photographs you can see he is wearing a backpack, that actually
contains a parachute which he can use if he does fall off, just like
Mission Impossible really.'

Nepal, photographing the very best solo free-climbers and their daredevil
exploits
