Where is health & safety in this? :shock:

I get nervous just watching the video.

Sound will give you some background to what is happening but maybe not a necessity.

Free climb, no harnesses, nothing.
None of the above should be taken seriously, and certainly not personally.

    That is pant cackingly scary.
    The dissenter is every human being at those moments of his life when he resigns
    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    That video gets posted on UKClimbing almost as often as this one does on here.

    I think they should have parachutes and base jump from the top rather than risk the climb down :shock:

    That would have been the least you would expect. Looking at the guy's partner as they get to the top, he does have a something on his back. However it is only the harness for his toolkit. :shock:

    I was thinking the same exact thing.

    I like a bit of climbing every once in a while but in a nice indoor centre, not up there

    That's like saying 'I like to do a bit of cycling every once in a while but only on a turbo or an exercise bike'. I'm not suggesting you go and find a big pylon to climb, but get out on the rock sometime, it's so much better than indoors.
