Not a climb that I would want to take. No wonder he's hesitating.

How can he hike without a camera? :)
Good composition. Focus is a bit soft. Try the USM after resizing. It really helps.

I find the mountainous background too busy and distracting

In this image, I see the entire image as being important, and by picking the hiker out and saying this is "minimalism" doesn't seem right to me. "Create an image where your subject is the strong point of the image, but only occupying a very small portion of the image space." In my mind the "subject" should be the main subject in the image, not just "a subject" in the image. Although this is a fine image, to me, it falls short of the challenge outlines.

It's too bad the hiker wasn't wearing something a tad more colourful. Still, wonderful shot with great composition and the sun is giving off great lighting. :)
