And, BTW, at 1:18, that shadow is from the slack line/ tensioning system.

@illesnille; he doesn't use a harness and tether. He climbs free solo as well. It's not a CGI trick. I've met Dean, and watched him climb. He's the real deal, and wouldn't try and "fool" the public into thinking he's doing something he's not.

Look on 1:18 and you see th shadow of the safetyline on the mountains ;)

@CarlJibbs Well I don't put equilibrists in the same "category" of one of the greatest martial artists to ever live, I don't care if you cross a fucking ocean on a 5 milimiter barbed wire.

@101Licious moth balls, sitting beside his brain, would look giant
-
@Konicava You've proved my point. He has a lust for life to the extent that he was willing (and able) to become that 1 guy out of 10 that does not fall.What you see isn't the product of sheer recklessness. No doubt, you have to be wired slightly differently, but I would put this in a similar category to Bruce Lee or "Man on Wire". . .What you see is the product of years of dedication to an extremely demanding mental and physical discipline.
-
@CarlJibbs You call that lust for life? Or maybe lust for near death experience? Dude if you put anyone in a rope in the middle of a canyon, 9 out of 10 will fall and die.
-
@Konicava I don't think you understand the mentality of total dedication to a passion. If he dies, he'll die pursuing what he loves. While I, personally, don't think I would try this, I have massive respect for a person with this kind of dedication, skill and lust for life.
