The image is a black and white illustration of a man climbing up a cliff. The man is wearing a long coat and a hat, and is holding onto a rope that is tied to the cliff with both hands. He appears to be in the process of making his way up the cliff, as he is using the rope to reach the top. The background is filled with trees and rocks, and the overall mood of the image is dramatic and adventurous. The illustration is done in a sketch-like style, with loose lines and shading to give it a realistic appearance.
