I have mixed feelings about guys like this. Another famous free-climber died in the last year attempting something like this.

If this guy was my son, I wouldn't be encouraging what he is doing. At one point does it become a death-wish?

fucked up. Dude can't be attached? not married, no kids?...right?...........if single and no dependents, i say kudos. Dude is doing his thing, no fear. Freakshow


Dr Lanquel, will he be presenting at the University of Toronto? 'how to overcome fears'......please advise as to date and time. Thank you.

Guy is a nut. But pretty awesome accomplishment. I hope I don't see a thread on here one day saying he bit the bullet though....

"death wish" implies - albeit perhaps gently - a fear of one's departing this plane of existence.

For those who astutely understand the life force to be never-ending, actions such as free climbing are not likely a death wish but rather are simply an amazing individual expression.

One can never truly be separated from God. All thoughts to the contrary are an illusion spawned by the ego

Yeah. Honestly I'm surprised it's legal.

Good for him though, I guess. Certainly impressive.
