It's Monday and I Thought That Getting Out of Bed Was A Major Feat Of Daring...

 

 This guy has me beat, carrying 2 five hundred pound titanium balls with him. 

And, a death wish.

 

 

 


 

 

 

Someone has obviously been there before.



Does anyone recognize the crater??

  1. Don't know the crater, but those rocks in the climbing path I believe are a technical climbing term called gendarmes. That one swaying back and forth is called suicide by rock ;-)).

  2. did a little bit of rock climbing back in the 1970's.. a lot younger and dumber me then. after losing a couple of finger nails, I gave that dumb shit up. just walking up a hillside anymore is a bit of a bitch.

    1. Ditto That! The summit tower on Three Fingered Jack in the central Cascades of Oregon is a chunk of rock about 20 feet tall, and 10 feet in diameter, roughly, and it wobbles. Yikes! And I climbed it twice. LOL!

  3. I saw that crack and was "No, he's not going above that"... and then he did.

  7. There used to be a third peak at Seneca Rocks, WV that was called the Gendarme. It was quite popular to climb. Until, that is, one night in 1987 it collapsed. There were people that were going to climb it the next morning.

    1. I climbed the Gendarme at Seneca Rocks. At its base, you could see daylight from the other side, in all four directions. We climbed it, took requisite pictures at the top (only room for one person). Told my partner it looked like it could fall at any time. He scoffed, said it would be there another thousand years.

      5 days later it fell over

  10. For every video like this I see, I know there are at least five more like it that didn't make it that can be used for responder training.

  11. Makes me suspicious how this guy is being filmed. The focus on him is moving and there is no visible continuity between what he's on and anywhere that camera could be working from. UNLESS he's being filmed from a drone becuase it damn sure isn't fixed wing or helicopter.
