With their teeth clenched and a look of sheer determination etched on their faces, these courageous climbers take rock-climbing to dizzying new heights.
The daredevil climbers are captured clinging precariously to rock faces and wedging themselves into the tiniest of nooks and crannies in a bid to conquer some of the world’s most incredible cliffs.
The vertigo-inducing images were captured by master of mountains, Paul Bride, who risks his life to secure the stunning shots.

The self-taught photographer from British Columbia, Canada, said he’d had a few dangerous moments which had made him question his career choice.
But the 41-year-old he’d always dreamt of travelling the world and going on adventures.
Paul said: ‘I love adventure photography but that doesn’t mean I haven’t had my fair share of scary moments wishing I had a nice cushy desk job that paid well.
‘I’ve had near misses with rock fall in the mountains and have been caught in storms and avalanches that have left me tent bound for days.
‘The challenges that I face during these shoots vary with each outing.
‘Climbing can pose situations that can be quite challenging due to the position you have to get yourself in with all your gear and still try to be safe.
‘Hanging 1,200 metres off a cliff face from a single rope is not the norm for most people but it allows me to see things from a different perspective.
‘It is a job that requires a very unique set of skills that are usually overlooked when someone looks at one of my pictures.
‘Most people just think wow what a great image and completely forget that someone actually had to be there to take it.
‘Hanging off a sheer ice face when
you’re half frozen and attached to the wall by just a couple of ice
screws certainly humbles you.
‘I sort of stumbled into photography but while I was growing up I was always dreaming of faraway places and adventures.
‘As I got older I would work in a bar at night so I would be able to ski, or climb during the day.
‘In my early twenties I went to Asia
for six months on my own and my girlfriend – now my wife – loaned me a
small point and shoot camera.
‘When I returned people were really impressed with my images. I really love the act of documenting the adventure itself.
‘My
photography has taken me around the world from living on makeshift
floating homes on the South China Sea to climbing in the Himalayas and
living alone in the Arctic.’

It’s “life and limb”. I don’t think it is just a typo since it was used in several locations in the story.
