Absolutely amazing,and a nice assortment of techniques used; pendulum (with "shoelace"), direct aid.

That's an amazing accomplishment ...and he was running up after topping the headwall, jeeezus!

Give me some of whatever Dean's been taking... just a little bit less.

Cool vids.

Thanks for sharing those videos !! they were awesome. How did Osman die? Did he fall?

 

[cory]

I think he jumped off a huge cliff tied to ropes that were somewhat old and had been hanging there in the weather for a while. The rope broke.

Let's not and say we did.

 

[JesseHuffman]

Lets not and say we wish we could
