Some call it speed bouldering...whatever, this guy was nuts. I say WAS, because he eventually bit it: http://outside.away.com/magazine/0499/9904terminal.html Mike |
Edited: I missed the thread I thought I was in and posted something here that had nothing to do with the threads subject. Sorry about that. Old age and memory loss plus loss of eyesight. :CRY:

That man is as agile as a monkey. Unbelievable the speed, and concentration especially when he just kind of leaped forward for his next hold....WOW

I've seen the speed climb vidio before - nothing short of amazing.
Hadn't heard the final analysis of the rope break other than the fact it had been in the weather too long. Looks like a small over looked detail did him in. I am very familiar with skydiving and any incident is tracable to several factors in a chain that, had any one had been altered, the incident would have been avoided, but together proved deadly. Fortunately it is rare to have all these factors in place, but it does happen. |
