Greetings from the Critique Club!
Argh Marcel, you must stop putting yourself in danger like this, and your son too! ;-)
Very simple and effective comp, sharp focus, good lighting, though a little puzzled by the long shutter speed...I know I'm a bear on low ISO but 1/3 seems a little on the lengthy side. The yellow of the rope (even if it is the *wrong* kind) adds drama and pop to the image. (FWIW...I believe the real climbing ropes are incredibly expensive and can only be bought in lengths of 100s of feet. Pretty expensive prop!)
Things I'd do differently but with same setup - shoot faster to add a a little more contrast to the bg in particular. Possibly fray the rope a little more, down to almost just the last couple threads. And really have a visibly white-knuckled grip on the rope, you want to sell the shot, make it look as realistic as possible. If you have climbing gloves use em. Possibly get the hand a little grubbier and beat-up looking.
Overall you still did quite well in this challenge, so well done and don't be afraid to take risks. Just be careful doing so!
