code of ethics Anonymous
So I know that most photographers have at least some code of ethics about certain situations (ie posing nude etc.) but what about when the subject's life is actually in your hands (I was the belayer and photographer in this pic)

I don't understand what you're asking? What does a code of photographic ethics have to do with belaying a climber?

Are you asking if it's OK to photograph someone while you're belaying them? It's been my experience that most people are unable to properly concentrate on belaying alone, much less while taking pictures. However, I'd say it's fine if you can keep up with what you're doing and you're using a self-locking device like a grigri so that if you get jumbled up you climber isn't going to hit the ground.

but you generally dont want to move a body in crashes like that anyway because you could easily end up hurting them more

Secure but doesn't allow you to adjust slack quickly. It would work fine if your climber is stationary and waiting for you to take a pic, but not if he's actively climbing. Especially with lead climbs, it's very important to keep on top of the amount of rope out between the climber and the next piece of pro to keep him from hitting the ground.

When specifically photographing the climber, I've even tied off the belay and taken myself out of the system to move around and photograph. The important part is that the climber knows what is going on and doesn't go any higher until you're back on belay.

Not to mention that a lead climber would be very pissed if he hit the end of his rope half way between two placements because you have the belay tied off.

well as you can see in the pic, hes at the anchor and we just waiting to clean, but hes sort of a noob to climbing so he didnt really know what was going on when i started leg wrapping... lol
