Have you seen this poster before? Anyone know what climb this is? Where is it? Extra points if you can name the climber. Just curious. Thanks.

I can't quite tell at this size, but I assume you're talking about the foreground only?
It looks like you can see a big patch of different colored sky on the forground rock skyline midway down.

Maybe Kauk?

That patch is interesting. On this site, the image is lower resolution, but brighter and the patch doesn't look so different, and it's clear that the edge of the path is the rope, which isn't clear in the image posted by Dave. It seems quite possible that it could be a composite.

I always liked the posters here better:

Nothing there on Perserverence, but there is one on persistence.

It is an unnamed route (7b) at Birg, Schilthorn, with Jungfrau and Ebneflueh in the background. Thomas Ulrich had a similar picture up on Alpinist.com wallpapers awhile back (also viewable on his website).

Glad to know. Thanks for the responses.

I have the Alpinist wallpaper if you want it.

This is good to know I have had this poster since I was about ten years old and have always wondered...
