To those men... Your braver than I am I would not of been able to even get 100 feet before I had to turn back...

That is crazy.

amazing!!

those guys were free climbing most of the way. no protection, except for breaks they would clip in.

That looks amazing and as much as I would have liked to do that when I was younger. The thoughts of a breeze or some wind went through my head quite a bit while watching that video.

Then the wind picks up and then a sudden gust!

Maybe something is wrong with me but I think that looks AWESOME. I'd want to pack a chute and take the speedy way down.

I'm kind of the same way. I don't like ladders, they can tip over. But for some reason that video doesn't seem to bother me. As long as what I'm climbing is well supported I'm fine with it. Also I think the trip down would be scarier, but the chute idea would be killer!

This is something I thought about getting into when I was younger, but had no clue how to go about it or what training I would need.

I'd do that if I had a parachute for just in case. That's not to say I wouldn't be scared shitless but i'd still enjoy it. No parachute is too much of a risk for me though, couldn't do it without one ready.

Think the only requirement is this

The rest could be OJT??????

Those dudes have some stones. The rough part was when he finally reached the top and it seemed like forever before he hooked on.

Try watching it in full screen.
It freaks me out just thinking about it.
