Of Man and Beast = The Free Solo Climbers

[LogicShadow]

These guys taught Spider Man how to climb.

[NuttAA92]

so does the guy die at 3.19?!?!

[perfodezvinc]

@NuttAA92 no his bag is a parachut actually!

[chrisdaw25]

The helmet is to protect him from rockfall. I agree el pontas is difficult. However, I would rather have seen Croft or Reardon or anyone other than Sharma.

[SSGEsch]

I could do that easy haha

[audmium]

Watching this vid makes my stomach turn. I would totally freeze and fall. I freak out on the indoor walls.

[DOJOdirector]

0:44 Why even bother with the helmet??

[EdVonSchleck17]

@DOJOdirector

first thought: laughing out loud and thinking the same..

second thought: probably for security against downcoming stones. imagine climbing all the way up without making one mistake and then one stone at your head is fucking everything up.

[PickedFirst4Kickball]

this takes something beyond talent. not sure of the right word. radical?

[STsixx]

3:19 CHEATER!

[johntphillips]

i can only imagine..

[TheHonkyquacker13]

most thrilling video on youtube hands down

[PrivateAckbar]

I wonder if these people do actually wan't to die deep down.

[elputobotas]

thanks to this video I get started in climbing.

[taulidpiaf]

Seriously gave me a heart attack watching that guy slip.

I would still like to see him pull the chute.

[Repsac56]

I dont think a helmet would save your life if you fell from a thousand feet up in the air.

[ThePatman95]

the monkey king by no means deserves to be on here

[punnanpro]

The woman doing this was a complete shock to me, but for every 1 woman who can do this, there are 100 men who can.

[llxlpandalxll]

@Imreallyajew  it helps with stones falling down -.- ....

[Rambl147]

What happend to the guy that fell at 3:18 ??

[gardenmaker84105]

@Rambl147 he opened parachute .. :-)

[Rambl147]

@gardenmaker84105 Oh yeah I see, he has one on :)

[PoongWalrus]

@Rambl147 he had a parachute on lol

[HostilePottery]

WHY!



[paradiseprofessor1]

Could you please make another compilation of climbing videos. Maybe in some better quality, but with the same music! Its so awesome

[theNATTTTTT]

insane 1:28

[Manakaiser]

honnold is without a single doubt the best free soloer to ever live.

[syts]

Incredible...but how do you get back down? I understand the guys that base jump back down, but what about the people with no parachutes. Seems like climbing down would be twice as hard...except for the monkey guy

[Manakaiser]

@syts 1 theres an easy route on the backside of 99% of the spots in the video, and 2 the monkey guy is probably the weakes of all the climbers shown in the clip. hes cool an stylish but only does rly moderate heights.

[cheapsheep4sale]

:s you don't even have to make a mistake to get yourself killed. It´s enough if the rock you're holding is slightly loose...

[ZockerSev]

WOW AMAZING

[MadTarnsman]

Helluva time for a panic attack. Would you even have a cell phone? Would you have a hand free to use it?

[camhe4d]

Really nice compilation. Some footage of Michael Reardon would have been nice, too.

[anonymmaus1]

That falling guy is John Bachar?

[DeSan0000]

@anonymmaus1 think it's Dean Potter

[SacraalHart]

Respect!!!

[Eatn28]

Insane

[Manakaiser]

disliking this is 100% envy, no other reasons exists those guys are mentally extreme tough.

[iolao3]

Una delle cose che non riuscurei mai a fare, arrampicata libera. Manca il PIANO B, se scivoli Ciao

[yetishooter]

Very nice video, but Chris Sharma's deep water soloing in a "Free solo Video"...? That's not really comparable with the scenes before...

[CrimpyStryder5958]

@yetishooter true but it still hurts like hell if you fall from that height - some spanish guy tried that exact route (es pontas) and broke three of his vertebrae falling - you're right, you probs won't die, but a 9b along with a huge fall deserves to be in here; es pontas is the hardest DWS ever by far :)

[kuikai100]

very good...climber....

[kuikai100]

a+++++++++

[wally1979]

I like the way he uses is helmet... for safety...

[beckero22]

how´s the name of the guy who fall at 3:21 ?

[TCisadrug]

@beckero22 dean potter

[chipsmcgee]

i just cannot believe what i have just seen, these people are fearless!!!!!!!!!! Amazing..

[BrucePBigelow]

All these people are dead now.

[LoveGod456]

No. He died when his rope broke when rope free falling

[moontrontron]

Don Osman passed away on his way down on of his climbs right? amazing what he was capable of in the first place

[Driftandnosalot]

I don't know what all the fuss is about, the floor will break their fall.

[Mzee1q]

what is the title of the song being played?

[RedSnapper751]

@Mzee1q 'Welcome Home' by Radical Face

[NarlieBro]

was she wearing a helmet for just in case she fell?

Im pretty sure she woutd face some serious injury, if not death.

[brianandreassen]

@NarlieBro No. Because it is a mountain and there can/will be falling rocks and she doesn't wanna get hit in her head:)

[kalashin0]

Absolutely sincere respect for those guys !!!

[W4rku5]

you need such a strong mind...

[lagunabeachlife]

not many of us can say they died after doing what they loved

[MongoOfBongo]

@lagunabeachlife because we're not dead o.O

[lagunabeachlife]

@MongoOfBongo most are walking dead from 9-5

[Strover1988]

3:18 My stands still^^

[Strover1988]

@Strover1988 +heart

[MrKangaruu]

Why wear a helmet? I mean you fall you die. Thats like wearing a seatbelt on a plane.....

[matthewwress]

oops - out of chalk!!!

[jumper1294]

Is there any sport more dangerous?

[psychosaneify]

@jumper1294

NO

[evildwarf100]

why?

[AfraidFromFate]

03:19 did he died?! o.O

[AfraidFromFate]

@AfraidFromFate oh,,. he has a parachute.. :D

[TheGeckex]

@AfraidFromFate na he had a parachute.

[TheBrittbum]

Holy Jesus!

[idance0001]

ik ben al bang als ik er naar kijk! heb het zweet al op mijn handen staan :p

[1ttzz]

This is not funny or cool the first guy "Dan Osman" died a few years ago he fold from a few hundred meters and landed on the ground...

[urielafs]

@1ttzz He died performing a controlled jump. The ropes he was using twisted and the friction caused the melting of the rope. However, other people have died performing free solo climbing.

[gruffalog]

these people are not human. you gotta have an immense grip and body strength to do this, seriously impressive! gives me butterflies every time i watch things like this.

[malizz100]

Holy shit that guy at 3:19 oO Did he do that on purpose?

[jasrogg]

How are these people not household names?They are the best Humanity has to offer.Making us all proud to be HUMAN.

[kingeggzzz]

spider people. The ones who run ffrom the law.

[coondogthemetaldog33]

Haha I would be scared if I were them

[KirchMichael]

The Song: Radical Face - Welcome Home

[gewinnste]

So at 3:20 that's Dean Potter with a chute, right?

[Proz72]

what is the name of song?

[autotuneblitz]

Welcome home by radical face

[MultiBaracca]

@autotuneblitz Thank you beautiful!

[supasaiyn]

they climb without no safety at all ?

[criticismsociety]

This is what my parents think when I talk about climbing

[MrJakacool]

@criticismsociety Your absolutley right :DD

[StonesTHATdontROLL]

@criticismsociety haha and me !! Well my mother for sure....

[becamiha]

0:55-what you need helmet if you fall down?

[LordSaradoc]

@becamiha It's to protection from falling rocks.

[urielafs]

@becamiha Rocks fall from above sometimes. That's the sole purpose of the helmet on rock climbing.

[DasmeProductionz]

theres a 50foot 5.6 at my climbing gym, i dont even think i'd free solo that..these dudes are epic

[TraviszZ0rR]

3:17 is he dead or what?

[ur0sss]

@TraviszZ0rR

he has a parachute.

[TraviszZ0rR]

@ur0sss oh good. respect to all of them!

[lonley2pure]

[kelvin4891]

[podgrad20]

say hello to friendly naiberhood SPIDERMAN :D

[pajkica]

Omg, I so want to be that chick!

[seanSgray]

They're alll dead

[ambiedawn82]

it makes me laugh when they are 200 feet in the air with no ropes and they still wear a helmet :)

[nicemanuele]

in this video they compare sharma whit others one....deep water is not free solo please!

[baderzidan5]

what happens if they fall?

[andersk92]

@baderzidan5 They Die, unless they are deap water soloing which is what chris sharmer was doing at the end, though correct me if I'm wrong but was dean potter base jumping as a back up to falling..... not sure :P

[MrThedur]

I know that Osman died... donno about the others, though.

[gst800]

2:25 

[klabauk2]

no space for mistakes damm

[Jock5tar]

[KirchMichael]

@Jock5tar ich hab einfach in meine Chalkbag gegriffen ( die habe ich IMMER und überall mit dabei) :D

[KirchMichael]

[Extream569]

@aaron1schmidt parachute

[parmesanoable]

@mousavsm

welcome home



[mousavsm]

This video is wicked but so is this song......anyone know the name??

[aprc1977a]

My hands and feet are sweating looking at these people especially the last chap climbing upside down and hanging like a monkey. Oh by the way was anyone else's heart in their mouth when the long-haired chap fell only to land safely in the water. Outstanding human achievement.

[gnarlychickify]

That was great. These people clearly have no fear. Its pretty shweet. ;)

[realcampusman]

@gnarlychickify

i used to get so scared free

top rope 4 lyf now or foam pit indoors...protect the temple

[safewaycart]

dropout?

[mustanghockey13]

The helmet is so if you pull up and hit you head on a roof or rock jutting out. Haha not for the fall

[mart9230]

i am speechless right now, these are extraordinary humans. Unfortunately, i must recognize to share so much beauty, some of these characters have paid with their lives.

[sammyklin]

just saying, wearing a helmet 200 feet over the ground isn't gonna do much of a difference if you fall..... :)

[rDeckarDz]

@sammyklin perhaps there was danger of loose rocks on that particular route, dunno

[bartsimpson208]

Maan, you have monkey king here but no Patrick Edlinger!?

[leggolasx]

Point of the helmet?...

[thatguywhohatesnoobs]

Who's filming this???



[rDeckarDz]

wow, thats some spideyshit. beatiful!

[theohero44]

so what happens if they want to go down?

[nelljamina419]

shit did that guy die?

[NOSEBLOB]

didnt see reardon, and uhh, yeah way b4 sharma. if it is because he's dead from a rogue irish wave, well... you didn hold death against bachar.

[thagladihater]

sharma is not a free solo climber, deep water solo does not count as a free solo

[alexchou9]

great music!

[burningred]

This makes me nervous. Damn

[Sundal1337]

3:19 wonder how it feels to fall

[markus122piesuckers]

Greatest video on YouTube hands down, the music goes so well, wow

[OmmaEmma132]

the dislike bar is just as long as justin biebers p***s.

[IringPalo]

My father has fallen from 20 m heigth and survived :P In hospital, he met my mother and then I was born :)

[partybojj]

the dude @ 3:20 is wearing a shute so he's prob ok

[w4n1c3k]

Excited just of watchin, sweaty hands... i wouldnt consider DWS equal to Free solo or Free BASE but still nice compilation...

[smeghead666]

Ignore the trolls and do whatever you please to make you happy.

There's always a coward who cannot achieve something themselves who will try to hold you back from achieving your full potential. these folks have accepted the full amount of risk for what they set out to achieve and although they may snuff it early they live and do things which no other will get to see and experience.

if you listen to the cowardly haters and the trolls there would be no big climbs, no K2 no Matterhorn, no Eiger.

[Northernblades]

@smeghead666 Re you stalking me? please go troll someone else. The true pioneers manage risk. they did not climb K2 looking for the highest point to jump off of.

they did not do it in front of a camera crew, They did it on equimpent far imferior to todays standards, with a lot less protection. However they still did it as safely as they could. They did not go up ill prepared, or uner equiped, They went up with the best of what the time had to offer.

[smeghead666]

@Northernblades you wouldn't know of a "true pioneer" if one hit you in the face... which they more or less probably would.

The rest I could barely understand, I don't speak stupid. Spellcheck, use it.

[BartoszKosiarski]

Awesome ,pure passion and skill...... And Katherine is damn hot ;d.

[Northernblades]

Climbing is risk management. These are dare devils, not to be confused with climbers.

These are the same people bungie jumping on climbing rope.

and the same people who splater themselvs all over the rocks.

Some lessons can only be learned through others.

Please do not Idolise these people.

Idolise some drunk drugged out movie star who is violent with thier spouce.

But do not idolise these fools

RIP Dan Osman, and thank you for teaching my lesson to all.

[MrChetwyn]

That lady swinging at 1:27 has to be one of the coolest things I've ever seen

[mitchnesbitt]

these guys are ripped because they have to pull up their heavy balls with them.

[ditastrenue]

@PsYTRaNCEFuCKYeAh He's simply resting! :-)

[71cea]

Alex the safety machine, its so impressive to see him climb. But chris isnt a free solo climber.

But n1 vid, thanks for sharing.

[ahighschooldropout]

hold up.... how are they filming this?

[Northernblades]

@ahighschooldropout These climbs have been rehearsed 100's of times, there is a camera crew there on rope, and there to save them in the event they cramp up or get tired. What they do is impresive, but not as impresive as cameras make it look.

[dwhhwyd]

除了“震撼”这个词，没有任何词能表达我现在的感受~

[MrOnionpits]

No Michael Reardon?

[Griff2w2]

What the name of that song?

[81Kittykitty]

FUCKING NICE VIDEO!!!!!!!! TANKS YOU!
