[FreshIdeasWorld]

Super Interview. Speziell für Business-Leute gibt es auf dem Youtube FreshIdeasWorld Channel ein Interview "Was wir von den Huberbuam im Business lernen können"

[Sebcel2]

juste stupide

[Setoreeh]

@Sebcel2 you are right! it is stupid! :( just yesterday a cousin of mine and a friend of him fall 80 meters while hicking :((

[doerscheln]

He recently gave a speech on himself climbing a direttisima free solo in the dolomites. He says that by staying focused and knowing about possible risks, concentrating on every single move that you he had studied for such a long time he was able to do it without any fear and not a single mistake.

Be like water

[MrFrance85]

il migliore....

[MrSimon50001000]

die route ist in der schwierigkeitsskala 10

[ailig0001]

also ohne seil würd ich dass nie machen... jedesmal wenn man nach unten schaut wo man hinsteigen soll sieht man doch dass es da schon etwas runter geht..

[Sickmataa]

Free Solo ist meiner Meinung nach der extremste Sport den es gibt mit Big Wave Surfen auf einer Stufe. Einfach der Hammer.

[laura43fun]

I wonder if he can climb down if he suddenly doesn't feel good about this. He can't climb down a rope 'cause there isn't any.

[WeStSkiers]

welcher schwierigkeitsgrad??

[flavaflo989]

@WeStSkiers

Müsste die Route "Kommunist" (X+/8b+) im Klettergebiet Schleier Wasserfall (Tirol) sein.

So war es zumindest auf 2 Webseiten beschrieben, die auf das Video verlinken.

[etnies604]

free solo ist eine kunst - diese Bewegungen...faszinierend!

[jonsowonti]

allein schon bei der kleinen unsicherheit bei 0:35 wär ich weined von der wand geflogen :D das sind starke Nerven!

[Dalamon1]

he is the man...

[Kirnersturm1]

ich bin sein grösster Fan........

[norsum9]

The man himself. Uber Hubers!!

[XtoTxmy]

master!!! once more!!!

[CristinaXLawliet]

I´ve seen that we can do everything

fear doesn´t allow us to do a lot of things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is adrenaline

[gothicNightwishFan]

i bloody hate slopers!......but not as much as i hate matching on crimps :(

[golddigger069]

those look like mad slopers. and freesoloing it... holy hell

[minoremus]

Could you help me find the music - I will be grateful :)

[minoremus]

Ok I' got it ;)

[mutellamann]

the song is "reflection" by tool from the album lateralus.

[vagisss]

@minoremus i think it is tool

[bxrockstar]

don't see sharma free soloing... probably cause he likes his rope!

[leventunver]

I think freesoloing is the purest form of art. Look at his moves. They are so perfect and aesthetic. And he considers all the little tiny details, just like an artist, because his life depends on these. Art is about taking risk...

[ekimkraur]

@leventunver while I agree the grace and fluidity with which he climbs certainly constitutes art, I believe free soloing is suicidal and I find the disregard for his own life tragic and nauseating.

[danballarin]

@leventunver I think freesolo onsight is really the only "pure" way, they practice on rope many times before they commit. The chance of success is pretty high.

[Hasuris]

that line looks amazing! I hope one day I can do this with a rope.

5.14a is very hard, the fact that there are harder climbs doesn't change that.

[milkmandan77]

amazing, but ultimately a very selfish act. his death would probably bring many to great suffering. does he have a wife and children?

high skill is never a match for hidden variables.

[elcapiblanco]

he has got a girlfriend..

but for his defense i have to say that i met him once and i read much about him and i have to say that he exactly knows what he is doing...is has got 100% control on his action...i ould never do this if he wouldnt be sure that he is able to do it.

[milkmandan77]

he may know exactly what HE is doing and have 100% control on HIS action, and for argument's sake we'll call him the best climber in the world.

that still doesn't account for things he can't see/doesn't know about. stress fractures in the rock, a sudden muscle cramp, a swarm of bees, a quick downpour, you fill in the blank.

if the guy has kids or anyone else on earth that would suffer tremendously if he perished, that makes him nothing but a self-centered ego maniac.

[elcapiblanco]

of course this risk is there, free solo is VERY dangerous...but he knows about this risk.

"if the guy has kids or anyone else on earth that would suffer tremendously if he perished, that makes him nothing but a self-centered ego maniac."

he also calls him self an egoist ;)

[Narwal88]

"self-centered ego maniac"??

That's insane. This guy is a professional who spends years honing his art. Every risk he takes is calculated.

Driving your car to work is more dangerous for you than climbing a rock is to him. You have teenagers driving, drunk drivers, idiots who text message while driving, people on the phone, people who drink coffee, eat sandwiches and who knows what else while driving...

Does that make you a self-centered ego-maniac???

Think before you speak, milkfool77.

[MysticDreamX]

Maybe but a hold can break ...

Soloist have often accident with holds breaks ...

[gerardo231]

on big walls.......do you know how many times he tried this route with a rope???

[MysticDreamX]

You're right !

He is sure about his movement, but a hold can always break !

Edlinger had an accident like it ...

[gerardo231]

i wasnt impressed until i saw there was no rope

[palantir3d]

I WAS impressed until I saw that there was no rope. Climbing is evolving, and the top climbers need to evolve with it. F*ing tie in!

[781391]

let him do what he does

[DonTomDerErste]

Die Bayern halt! ! ;)

[celibuko]

Don't try this at home..

[leventunver]

"In 2004, Huber also soloed The Kommunist (5.14a) at his home crag in Austria. This ascent remains the most difficult ropeless climb to date"

Rock and Ice Magazine

[MisterTNT86]

Holy shyt man! You've got ballz!

[metafreak92]

its Reflection from Tool

[tonigascan]

Impresionant::: what's the name of this song?

catalonia is not spain live for climbing

[oscarmontoya1978]

mezclar la escalada con el nacionalismo creo que es estar realmente perdido,pero no te preocupes, la culpa es de los politicos, que son lo que te han engañado...por cierto, a ver si aprendes a hablar ingles...

[danirebi]

ist ja mit sicherheit ein toller kletterer, aber trotzdem find ichs scheiße sein leben so leichtsinnig aufs spiel zu setzen....

[Muffinmann25689]

genau das macht er eigentlich ja wieder nicht.... , denn wer sowas macht der hat sich vorher schon einen plan gemacht , denn wenn man weiß das man bei so einer tour sterben kann dann bereitet man sich so sehr darauf vor das dass eben nicht passiert.

[11709041]

sin palabras..

[CRuJi0]

the rope asshole!

[Hirnhinweg]

Da leckst mich am Arsch! Die Buam san der Hammer!!

[verticaltrash]

klasse leistung! unglaublich, das schwerste was je free solo geklettert wurde!!

[jokie5]

ich hab die HUBERBUAM DVD mit Autogramm und hab mit dem Thomas Huber gerdet...*stolz sei*

[vertigne]

gg hab ich auch schon! *ebenfalls stolz sei*

[forth1102]

this sounds like tool but which song is it?

[zerosense666]

it definitely is tool! from the lateralus album: reflection. best band ever!

[Ruthi85]

Impresionante!

[Xubor]

I <3 the Huber Buam :)

The brothers are great climber.

Not only Alex :P

[TatankaIXc]

that's 8b+... FREE SOLO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[paulfromcastlehill]

THis man is great

[Nicolaskas]

Nadie dice nada de gullich y de separety of reallity???

[Abendmahl23]

ein klasse kletterer

[noradorian]

to alacrises: "escalando cosas imposibles".. Es decir que las hizo, y si las hizo ya pasan de serlo imposibles ;) Yo no comparto estas locuras. Vivir la vida de una manera tan intensa, es una elección.

[juancricri]

Talentoso, y loco

[Kirsche27]

ich will ein kind mit dir auf dem berg zeugen zu dieser geilen mukke die da grad läuft

[patricia000000]

Un maravilloso video. Un talentoso escalador. Un bello tipo.

[Vacuumhead]

du bist'n idiot...

[Cyr3s]

Son spasti

[Cyr3s]

So ein Spasti

[jonnyclimber16]

er kann es und es ist sein Leben, dass er riskiert

[zukhyubern]

me llamo alex huber tambien!!

que extrano :LDSIfja;weioru piodjfm/

[yournightlight]

tool and climbing and my favorates!

[jamesoft]

ese hombre está llamando a la muerte a voces...

[alacrises]

eso no es na, busca en youtube "Speed climbing", de Dan Osman

[jamesoft]

Conozco muy bien a Dan Osman, y por eso he puesto precisamente el comentario. Este tío acabará como él...

[noradorian]

to alacrises: bueno, esta es tu opinión. Pero antes de ponerla bien grande en la pantalla, fijate en el grado de cada vía y luego opina. Sería lo suyo ;) ( 5.7(5)Dan Osman y 8b+(5.14a) Alex)

[alacrises]

jeje ya hombre, la dificultad de la via es esta mucho más jodida no cabe duda, lo que pasa que el speed climbing suele impresionar más a la gente. De todos modos, tanto DanO como Alex están al máximo nivel. Hay videos de Dan Osman escalando cosas imposibles.. Un saludo!!

[alacrises]

bueno, mejor dicho estaban porque DanO murió en el 98 como sabes. Si te molaba DanO puedes echar un vistazo a un video que hice sobre él con fragmentos de los dvd Masters Of Stone.
