Camanito Del Ray - the most dangerous path in the world

[Jonny69]

There are wires bolted to clip into for fall arrest, however I am fairly sure the guy with the helemt cam on never used them.

 

Very impressive though, especially the way he walks round the guy with the backpack on at 2:15.

 

Forgot this link, always a good one for sweaty palms [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heIiGX3__Qg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heIiGX3__Qg[/ame]

This one always gets me... it's the 'I can not fall anymore' and the amount of slack he has pulled through. I don't want to work out the fall factor but you can be sure he's climbed more than 30cm above his last anchor point...'pure joy'!

This is the great late Dan Osman. godfather to my mindset.

Obviously like the El cap film above, shot over some time and edited together to seem like a seamless climb. still amazing.

He died some years ago doing this. It would have been sad if he had gone in his sleep or slipping over in the shower.

For me the greatest rock is gritstone `up north'. This ones 10 mins long but I'm dam proud to have the grit crags in my country. Prob just for rock fans.check out the route at about 6.00 (Gaia) and the subsequent fall. this is still one of the worlds hardest routes. This video sums up my life in the 80's.

i used to enjoy going up the peaks before the kids came along.

I can't watch Dan Osman clips, it makes my stomach feel funny.

Portland was my playground back in those halcyon days.

I learnt to climb on grit-stone. I have a couple of smaller crags and boulders within a mile from home. Great for destressing after a crappy day

Sounds like a few of us are rock climbers too. So `mad for it' was I in the 80's that I was going to live in a squat in Sheffield and just climb. Then I fell in love and ended up in bloody Essex. nearest rock is the sandstone of Kent, which is fun, but its not grit. very jealous of having crags so close Pete.
