              This guy is now dead I believe. Oddly enough he didn't die falling off the rock though he died bungie-jumping or sky-diving or something. He was on a show called Maximum Exposure in the states and they had clips of him climbing stuff and almost falling off. Pretty cool but like you said, "fear-illiterate":) ------------------------------------- Do not do what has already been done.

                                          whats not safe about them?

                                          There are ads for porn sites there (soft/hard porn doesn't matter, still porn either way) and some organisations would consider them inappropriate... hence some non-work-safe ads there. Still... damn cool video. Human spiderman is what came to mind there too. Regards, Brian Dela :-) Blog^ Co-author of The Outlook Answer Book... Go on, order^ it today!
