What an idiot.... :bump: :crazy:

Nice responsible parent that he was

I wonder if he was on a "mission" or pursuing his own version of the Grail. :thinking:
Maybe he got more out of his short life than others get out of their long senseless existance?

Wow- just watching that (especially when he leaps up to the next hand hold) makes me nervous.

That guy was short of growing a tail like a monkey!!! At least he died doing what he loved.

The speed of the climb is just incredible!, maybe even a guiness record.

That was both impressive and sad at the same time.

He died freejumping.

He continually broke a cardinal rule of climbing: always be holding on by 3 limbs; only release one hand or one foot at a time to move ahead. His death was inevitable.

Link isnt working

PhotonBoy · Oct 21, 2005

Hmmmm, just checked, worked fine.

jtice · Oct 21, 2005

Yep, thats the articale I found the other day.

:shakehead:
Admirable stupidity

AJ_Dual · Oct 21, 2005

Obey Gravity! It's the LAW!

So I guess he went from a "Speed Climber" to a "Speed Faller"?

I suppose there's not much recognition of the latter, seeing as it takes much less dedication, conditioning, or skill.

Although, if it were turned into a sport, you'd have to have different weight classes. While all objects on Earth fall at 9.8M/s^2, when you factor in wind resistance, fat people have a slight advantage, they have a lower surface area to volume ratio, and their ballistic coefficient might be a tad better...

Speed climbers are crazy. Climbing without a safety line is not for me.
