The editors’ description of the cover : "Doing what they do may seem extreme enough, but to photograph Yosemite climbers, including Alex Honnold edging face-out along the Thank God Ledge on Half Dome (because ‘it's cooler that way’), is another whole ball of equipment. Photographer Jimmy Chin, who makes a living creating images of climbers all over the world, said: ‘At the end of the day, if I got one photo that I felt truly captured Yosemite climbing, that would make me happy.’ He got one—and it landed on the cover of National Geographicin May 2011."
this photo made the photographer happy that he got it because the guy was climbing over what they call the thank god ledge. it shows a lot of people that if he can do this you can do something your afraid of. I'm pretty sure he had nerves before he did this.
