I've said on here a few times that I'm no climber and i fully respect you lads that get up them trees day in day BUT how many of you could do this with using the same equipment......

 

 

I honestly felt giddy just watching it..... no harness, no flipline, no helmet, no spikes, no LOLER tested main line just a wooden seat on a rope.....

 

He had balls as hard as the cast iron his steam engine was made of!!!

Its not about fearless, fearless is foolish and often ends up dead

 

That man simply has confidence in his equipment and ability

I agree! I have a rather acute fear of falling to my death, hence the reason why i have LOLER/PSA tested equipment.

And there is a fine line between confidence in ones abilty and just downright stupidity.

 

All the same, respeck to the chap
