The Catch

Caterina and Gianluca are a couple of climbers. They spend most of their weekends outside climbing on boulders. In this photo, Caterina was trying a hard route, and while falling, Gianluca caught her. In the picture we can see the exact moment before his hands touch her waist, to make her safely land on the ground.
