The composition and timing are very good- maybe it's weakest point is the climber's face seems a touch soft, and his forehead is a bit hot. Is this from compressing it to meet size requirements here, or is that how the original looks? Nonetheless, this is easily the best of your recent series, pretty engaging.

Very good picture. I can't see anything that I would change, but I know there's gotta be something that would have made it better, cause it's not perfect yet. Can't figure it out though. :?

Average. As mentioned above it has some mild technical flaws but to me there's not much wow factor. Where's the story? Where's the drama? I wish I knew.

hmmm, he is looking at the next hold, that is nice, but he is not yet going for it. If he starts moving there, or if we can see some hesitation, or as unabonger said if we can get some story here.... it is a bit static, not only acxtionwise, but i think the image is also static, yet i cannot point why.
The overall softness does not help either. Also, the color seems a bit of, or something else, i cannot figure out, but if is distracting.
First I would decrease the image size to make it look more sharper, as well as play with unsharp mask.
What about going to b/w? To balance his dark shirt -which will help to seperate him from the background, and make his pose more readable- i would darken the left side a bit.
There is also background blur trick, experiment with it.
