We all have our favorites that someone else took of us climbing. To make it interesting you should pick just one, your favorite. When you get lucky enough to have a pro take the shot it's amazing how much better it turns out than the usual snapshot pic.
This one is by Cole Fennel at Haw Creek Arkansas

OK I'll bite. Skip took this one on my onsight of "Espresso" 5.11a, Echo Cliffs, CA.
Skip was on a nearby climb coming down, and I gave her the "upside-down adoring look" on-route:

Chris Falkenstein dragged six hundred feet of rope to the summit of El Cap, and rapped down to take these pix of me soloing on Native Son. Not the greatest quality scan I made, but a cool situation. It's not often you can get a photo of you soloing a big wall, taken from above looking down.
God bless you, Soren - your biceps make mine look big.

Well let's see... The photos from which I would choose a single "best" are not really mine to post. However, the old shot Charlie Crist took of me doing an ascent of The Compassion of The Elephants in Josh is dear to me. It brings back good memories.

Even though I started and asked for favorite/best, here are two more that show the skills of the photographers:
Andy Chasteen shot this of me on Mt Scott in Oklahoma.
The next is by Johathan Thesenga from Black Diamond on the first pitch of Jah Man with Castleton in the distance

This photo was taken by some guys from Switzerland. They discovered my address at my deposit at the bottom of the route and send me after a year. What a surprise.
We fixed 6 or 7 ropes on Sunkist for our another friend Malory. At the time we climb Golden Doublon, he hang on 300' rope more then 30' away from the wall for 6 hours. Certainly one of the best.
This one was published at AAJ, through it is so funny.

I've always liked this photo of me, on the second pitch of Bonnie's Roof at the Gunks. The shot was taken by my friend liz. Neither of us is a master photographer but I like the sense of exposure you get in this classic photo op, and I also like the clouds and the sky in this late afternoon shot. Not a difficult pitch but the position is exciting.

Unfortunately I seem to have misplaced the photos a friend took of me climbing at Diablo years ago. They were pretty decent, he was jugging a line next to me while I climbed.
I was roped soloing this little chunk of ice a few years back and somebody came along, took some photo's and emailed them too me. Of photo's I have of my climbing, I guess I'll rank it the best of what I've got.
