Porter's rock climbing is characterized by his bare hands, without any protective ropes or other protective devices attached to his body. He climbed all the way to the top. Even the photographer who took the picture did not dare to open his eyes and look at him. "This rock It's heaven." Potter sounded like a madman, but he did.
