This link stands as a testament that fate protects fools and small children...

I want to be cool like that guy. Maybe I'll start soloing with a perfectly good harness on and rope already setup. Naw.

Where was Darwin when we really needed him?!

If a husband speaks in the woods, and his wife is not there to hear him...is he still wrong?

I want to go to hell... there's probably lots of rock to climb there.

The video is called "how to survive a free solo", I think a better aproach would be to send.

I watched this video on a work computer with-out speakers first, and then with sound later. That dude comes across as way more of a douche when you can hear the flowers he is saying.

My favorite part other than the harness and rope, was that he appeared to be wearing socks in his climbing shoes. Nice.

I'm pretty sure if Darwin had witnessed that episode during his natural selection work he would have been sent back to the drawing board scratching his head.

Agreed. Complete douche.

True, he got away on this one, but generaly speaking this is god's way of getting rid of boneheads. I've heard his other favorite tactic is feeding them beer while partying near cliffs over shallow rivers.
