I Am Not Nuts, THIS GUY Is Nuts
I used to climb this Route a lot. It was a good one to take beginners up, because it was relatively easy. BUT!! The idea of screwing around and racing up it unroped just never occured to me.
This guy climbs exremely well but his thinking is a bit suspect.
I'm glad I used to have more sense than this guy, although he does look like he is enjoying his day...
I'll be heading down to California in the morning, taking my Mum to see my sister. We're having a garage sale over the weekend.
So I'll be in and out...

Are you kidding me? Unbelievable! Best of luck with your sister, sweetie, here's to lots of shoppers and lots of smiles! Peace~love
I'm going to have nightmares from just watching that. That man is insane.
He WAS nuts- now he's dead. Died at Yosemite in '96 I believe. I mean, you just knew that guy couldn't last...
Stucco- I THOUGHT his name sounded familiar. He died free falling, when his rope failed.

I was just enamored to find a video of a route and knew like the back of my van...
There was a Canadian named Peter Croft, who I actually bumped into once on the coast of California, who used to do a lot of free soloing.
I didn't get it. But they did.
Where is this route? I will download the clip as I cook Fajitas... bbl to comment lol~~~
Hurry back and have a safe trip.... enjoy the family moments sweetie.
Holy crap! What a daredevil.... Took me over an hour to climb the variation of Super Slab on the Red Wall at Smith. And it was only a 5.6! Geez...
He had rocks in his head, literally and figuratively!
Anyone who does that has to have a few rocks in his head where his brains should be. I see from one of the posts that he finally died doing this sort of thing. It's a shame but I'm sure he knew the dangers and did it anyway.
Have a nice visit with your sister. I know it's a difficult for all of you. I'll be thinking of you.
I send my best to your sister, and you and Mum.
Unbelievable man! It would take me a week...no, I'd never do it!
I can climb my stairs without a rope.
Best of luck with the sale, and my best to your sister.
Wow, my reaction was "How is that guy still alive?" and then I see frm the comments he is not. Hard to have too much sympathy givent he needless risks he was taking.
