He's not too far from the top, but a long way from the bottom - and that proved a problem for a man who became stuck on a Banks Peninsula cliff face this morning.
The man became stuck 20 metres from the top of the cliff at Boulder Bay and proved a tiny target for the rescue helicopter crew to find.
But find him they did.
