  • My heart skipped a beat at 0:44 !!!! :o

  • nice work Mr. Maddaloni -- my fingers are sweating!

  • BALLS OF STEEL

  • he's dead?

  • climbing without safety or a rope bèut above deep water to catch ur fall :o THAT is a brilliant genius awesome idea actually!! I so totally must go do that :p

  • Can someone tell me why he's taking the time to set up a trapeze net beneath a bolted route? Does he hate wearing a harness that much?

  • asyik......, punya tantangan tersendiri

  • To die is to live

  • beatiful!

  • 2:45... hope it doesn't happen xD

  • Wow! xD

  • Not my cup of tea. I like extreme sports but this one is just dumb in my opinion.

  • @Vallecaucanisimo how is rock climbing dumb?

  • @youdevil6 Not rock climbing in general, this particular form of rock climbing is dumb. It is not a sport, it is a gamble and your life is the price.

  • @Vallecaucanisimo Some love this (like me) I love the feeling of my life being in danger hanging over a 100 foot drop. You are also 110% more careful when doing this. Youtube search "dan osman," if you want. Hes the best solo climber ive ever seen. He is dead though from testing a rope and it snapped. If you really love this sport I say you should die like this. I probably will die rock climbing but that is ok with me cus I love it. Lets not argue. :)

  • @youdevil6 That's just it, I don't wanna die doing any sport. I like to take calculated risks but it doesn't mean that I wanna die doing a sport. Of course you are going to be more careful but is not enough, skill will not make up for it. I just have a different take on it I guess. It looks fun though.

  • @Vallecaucanisimo well, different people get their thrills in different ways. some get it from risking their lives like this. it might be stupid but they're taking risks and having fun. life without risks is boring anyway.

  • @LemonZeppelin Yes, but it is very debatable you know. For example, why if people get their high playing Russian roulette for example. What would you think then? Would you foster that kind of behavior? It is a matter of perception, what is acceptable to you is not to me and so forth. To me climbing without gear is a gamble, a risky one, nothing else.

  • @Vallecaucanisimo

    Saying this is 'dumb' is moronic! It is a personal choice, the people that make these types of choices generally make the world a more interesting place to live in.

  • @elfspicer It is a personal choice that I do not respect, I look down upon it instead. Just because it is a personal choice it does not mean that is smart, or acceptable . I do accept your statements that people like this make the world more interesting. However, I believe the people in this video make the world a little bit dumber. But feel free to follow the hype!

  • @elfspicer it is dumb. it's an unnecessary risk. It's pointless. A rope doesn't restrict your mobility so a free soloist earns nothing but an adrenalin rush by climbing ropeless. there is a difference between taking risks required to get somewhere and taking risks just to prove you can. an alpinist always takes risks while on a summit bid, yet safety is still being used. free soloing is utterly pointless, it's like playing russian roulette.

  • I understand he's a great climber and all, but what the fuck happened at 1:40 where he somehow shot off the rocks?

  • @Antifreeze3333 to be great there has to be mistakes xD

  • @Antifreeze3333 I'd assume that if you know you're falling, you'd want to push yourself away from the rocks so you land in deeper water.

  • @EctInc Yeah after I posted that I kindof thought about that. It would be better to push away at the first chance of falling to make sure you dont slide down against the rocks instead of trying to hang on as long as possible.

  • This was filmed in Squamish, British Columbia, Canada. Used to live there. It's paradise.

  • @Hatejacket I believe you. :(

  • Man I wonder how tough the skin on his hands is ._.

  • They had me at 0:47...

  • Trust me. If i were to climb so high without a rope. I would literally shit myself.

  • haha, at 2:35, that is funny!

  • hah, 2:35 that is funny.

  • 0:09 minecraft water sound

  • @ThWolfication Its everywhere!!!!!!!1

    

  • This is very impressive but if you want to see what happens when you have the absolute maximum amounts of cojones and athletic prowess. Well then you have to watch Dan Osman.

  • I look up at these guys, but the fact that they're crazy is inevitable.

  • "If I even sneezed I was dead. Exciting, to say the least.!" Great upload NG! : )

  • DAN OSMAN

  • LOL so much more work than rope and carabiners but I'd have to say damn well worth it in the end!

  • LOook sooo funn

  • Look way more fun than regular rock climbing.

  • OMG the ad wont load what do I do !

  • I want one! =)

  • 1:42, I'm sure that did wonders for his shoes...

  • 1:40 dude's wigglin' like a fish

  • 2 people died in the making of this video

  • I can't seem to understand the point in such things.

    They seem to me to be useless, like the wheel of a car than spins in the mud unable to move.

    Why put yourself in such risks? Aren't there more important or substantial things in life?

    -.

  • @Mauromoustakos

    For alot of people, yes. But for others, the adrenaline rush and challenge in doing these things IS whats important in life.

  • @Mauromoustakos Diferent people sees life in a diferente way. For my living is all about doing as much as you can, regartless if its dangerous or not.

    I will be in this planet just once, so im here to enjoy myself. No regrets.

  • You're not really free climbing if you're using a safety net so what's the point of not using a rope?

  • Political ads on youtube, fuck off

  • This is like judo, fall without getting hurt.

  • that demand a lot of guts

  • I was deep water soloing a few years ago, but I didn't climb as high as this guy. ^^

  • he's Canadian cool

  • @fourtywpm so you noticed that too huh? :))

  • @Jeeyo12345 yep. I guess I've been watching too much Kids in the hall and Survivorman lately : )

  • i <3 climbing

  • You guys should look up Alex Honnold

  • hHES GONNA DIE A YOUNG MAN!!!

  • wow dont think you could pay me enough to attempt something like this, amazing courage

  • press "5" for lol: I dont know.

  • My palms always sweat when I watch rock climbers

  • Very cool, do more things like this. How about something on wingsuits?

  • @AlienTruth you mean wingsuit jumping without wingsuits?

  • Last.

  • Wow talk about a dirtymind... I read the title as "Climbing: Safety Turd"

  • @omsrswt I bet you were like "Shit! I need one of those!" At least that's what I would've thought. We call use a safety turd.
