Cool! Didn't Dan Osmond die there doing his crazy cliff jumping?

[VEG]

wow would love to do that

[Les Cork]

see Dan Osman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

He was a pioneer of free climbing and a complete nutter IMO

The pinnacle of modern free climbing in Yosemite I reckon.

 

Hold on Honnold!

That Alex Honnold is so calm, it seems like Yosemite has a magic that inspires, challenges, and rewards those who take the task on, from great trees to great landscape it is a place that i will visit in the future.

Natures disneyland on steroids

The nice thing about Alex is that he seems completely devoid of any sort of ego. He just seems like a really nice chap, a bit bewildered and not a bad bone in his body.

Yosemite is quite a place, no doubt about that.

Its a nice place, freaking bears are a massive PITA though. The walk off the top is a long one.
