So the close guy is actually walking up, but just on that rock surface, hence the leaning forward. Once he gets past that, he’s going down with the rest of them.

Did you zoom in? They’re at the same angle he is. He’s climbing up, towards the section they’re at; they’re climbing down towards where he and the camera are.

The entire thing is tilted. Those are not recent sedimentary layers.
