Insignificant against the vastness of the cliff's surface, he was hardly visible as he wedged himself into the fissure running up the face of the escarpment.

Caught on camera by photographer and drone pilot Max Seigal, from Colorado, the stunning photos were taken during a trip to the Utah desert.

Max, 28, said: "I'm an avid rock climber myself, and love the art of photographing amazing rock climbers.

"My friend wanted to establish a new route in an area that had not been explored before, so I offered to photograph him as he attempted to climb this unchartered terrain.

"It's always exciting to take photographs with a drone, because you are able to capture angles that have never been seen before.

"As my friend was climbing I was thrilled to see how well he was doing on this route, because it looked extremely challenging from the ground, and I was excited to get great shots of him along the way."

The climber who was not named, was rewarded for his vertical climb with an amazing view of the canyon below him.
