Neat - I really can't wait untill I get out from rehab and able to do stuff like this Cheesy I've climbed a tree that was 30 meters high recently but it's not much. My closest goal is a crane, but winter is slippery! Imagine sitting up there with a ciggarate in your mouth after the kick is over.

I guess, how its similar to being in dangerous situations. But, yeah its not really relevant.

I was just curious on how she broke her back.

Have nothing to do with being dumb, I and my friends consider myself a very intelligent human being but I like rushes. And I'm gonna stop using drugs (that includes alcohol), but my I have addictive genes from my father, and grandfathers on both sides (plus one additional black sheep, I think my grandmother, but could also be my mother).

I realise it's Darwin awards on doing things like basejumping, climbing cranes and such but I have to get my rushes from somewhere Tongue I could go to war and have a constant adrenaline rush but I dont líke war so that's not an alternative. If I die in 10 years from a fall so be it - rather die and having lived a happy life filled with kicks than either keep doing drugs or live a normal nerf life.
The irony of it all is that I am propably safer if I keep doing drugs lol, but that's not an alternative tbh..

Fun is a relative term. I don't think driving at the speed limits is fun which satifies some peoples needs, I think driving twice the speed limit is fun.

Here's another video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Phl82D57P58

Look at 05:20. That really had chills down my spine.

Alex Honnold has evne done walls that are more than a 90 degree angle.

But there's a beauty to it. You put everything into what you do, and it's all dependent on you. If you fail, then that's it. It's quite obvious that he really loves what he does.

There's a chance that his life will end someday when he makes a mistake, but if and when that day comes, he atleast lived his life to the fullest extent possible, doing what he loves to do. A lot of people don't do that.

Yes this is very fun to watch and very impressive and ballsy, but...

That is so, so stupid. One little gust of wind, one little slip, one little mistake and you're dead.

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.

I know of a man in Vegas that's not afraid of anything unless it has eight legs and comes within 20 feet of feet, whereupon his neck cramps up and he starts to shake all over.

Myself, watching people walk on that glass thingy at the Grand Canyon on YouTube freaks me out, but actually walking on it doesn't. Likewise, building and climbing a ten-section scaffold doesn't bothering me, but watching somebody do it on a screen freaks my ass out.

I knew before clicking they were Russians.

Their life expectancy is about 30 years so they don't give a shit doing stuff like that.

Neat - I really can't wait untill I get out from rehab and able to do stuff like this Cheesy I've climbed a tree that was 30 meters high recently but it's not much. My closest goal is a crane, but winter is slippery! Imagine sitting up there with a ciggarate in your mouth after the kick is over.

A pretty decent sized crane just popped up relatively close to where I live.   Unfortunately in the state of California, the police would be there  with a helicopter before you were even half way up the ladder Sad

I'm not sure that it's unfortunate. As cool and thrilling as it is, it's still very dangerous not just to themselves but others. It's probably only a matter of time before someone falls of these things.

Im sorry, how is climbing stuff dangerous to others? If people stand right below you they deserve a darwin award just as much as us thrill seekers.

Grrr. These guys give climbing a bad rep. I led mountaineering trips for 12 years. It is one of the safest sports when done correctly. But then some kid decides he does not need a rope and fall to his death. Conclusion? Climbing is dangerous.
I would never climb with those fools. And I assure you they have no cred among serious climbers.

They're two completely different things. I'm sure they look at regular climbers and think "pussies" haha. This is just an extreme sport version of climbing and the danger aspect is how they get their kicks.

A lot of them are probably also climbers wouldn't you think?   The way they can hold and pull their own weight up with only a couple of fingers makes it seem like they are climbers themselves...(some of them at least)
