That's insane. I could feel my anxiety level rising just watching it. |

I love watching stuff like this and feeling uncomfortable as hell. |

Anxiety = 100/100
I definitely thought the guy at the beginning was just going to fall to his death.

It's only a matter of time. There was another guy that did this stuff and fell to his death, but at the time he was bungi jumping, sort of...he's dead. This guy, no matter how good he is, he's going to die too. |

He's trully remarkable, as the guy commented on, he looks like such a dork when you see him but once climbing he's in a league of his own
Maybe he will die from his climbing.
But he must have felt adrenalin rushes that us mere mortals can only dream off.
Power to him, he's got serious cajones, he's da man  |

Me too. I totally was uncomfortable with what I saw in that video. Main reason I think also is because I hate being up in high places like that.
But there is no margin for error; what if just one time he goes to wedge his fingers or feet into the cracks and the rock breaks away where he grabs it? you go straight down 700 - 1, 000 feet! He's talented and good at it. But What this kid is doing is not a good way to stay in this world for very long. |

It's way too dangerous, but I can see where this kid has gotten too much adrenalin from the rush, and now can't stop himself.
Just like playing Russian Roulette. |

I never hear of any of the climbers like that, falling to thier deaths. The climbs are well structured. I think it's dangerous but not as dangerous as you would think for those individuals. They are really well focused and know for sure they can do it. That's pretty obvious.
Not for everyone though, and not for me. I have sweaty hands and feet both, also I have a lot of padding on my fingers.
Believe it or not thing like Rodeos and parachuting are probably more dangerous. Also spelanking in underwater caverns with scuba gear has to be more dangerous. For the latter unless you're really experienced the fatality rate is really high, much higher than a lot of people realize. |
