        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.

                  I was watching that thinking "it's all pretty juggy, so it's not like he's doing anything technically challenging" then I saw the dyna at about 200 feet and that's when my palms really started sweating. Wicked. cheers, Chris Maunder

                                    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!

                                          What bothers me more is the porn itself. We live in a sex-obsessed culture, man. That isn't to say sex is evil, as some religious people seem to imply, but I personally believe that porn often leads to unhealthy lifestyles, especially for men. I think Jesus was right on when he said[^], "You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.' But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." Anyways...better to post at least a fore-warning if a site has porn on it, especially when most the people browsing this site are at work. By the way, did you make it to the HDC?
