  • dude i just went there today, how the hell did u get up so high !

  • Yeah, when I see a sign that says "stay out" I am impelled to go in. And yes, I did get burned at night when a falling piece of lava exploded near me. I covered my head, but my arms still have scars. I kept the wind at my back so no gases would find me.

  • hey, how'd u climb down at night ?

  • I took a flashlight with me and climbed again at night to get a better view of lava (it looks way better at night). Unfortunately my camera sucked so I wasted a splendid opportunity to capture how beautiful (and terrifying) it really was to be in the line of fire. Quite an adrenaline rush to dodge falling lava!

  • Did you consider the risk you posed to other people in ascending the volcano? That plane wreck from 2001 risked the lives of members of the Costa Rican Red Cross who ascended to rescue any possible survivors and get the plane's black box. If you got seriously injured they would have done the same for you.

  • i've been there dude, your CRAZY ..... It looks scary when they take you on the tour to see the lava fall. nice video

  • Nice video, I'm from Costa Rica and hadn't seen a similar video before. Such risk is awsome, this guy was a few meter from the top and the lava. This volcano is very active. I would like to know if he got any permission or do it by himself! Awsome!!!

  • Some rare footage of Arenal! Best I've seen to date. I tried climbing the backside of Arenal in Feb2004, made it 3/4, ran out of daylight, descended. But to climb its kill zone?! lol. You've got balls. Congrats on a successful venture.

  • Man, that's dangerous as hell... did you get a pic of the crater itself?

  • looks nice

  • Wow! I've just come back from there and that is an extremely dangerous Volcano. You were simply lucky not to have been killed.

    Amazing though.

  • i'm still in shock n awe

    how was the climb back down ? how was the smell ?
