If i was them i would base jump down every time instead of climbing all the way down, least it would make it fun That would require you to carry even more stuff up to the top, and have another very select set of skills. | ||

But I always feel climbing up is much easier (and secure) than going down. To see that would scare the living shit out of me. | ||

I mean, why would you even agree to get up there without protection?? For the FUN !? And on top of that you get some money. Btw in the video it's said that they "freeclimb" (without safety precautions) with the explanation that it would slow them down immensely if they had to hook and unhook themselves all the time. | ||

The guy in that video was better off with a shit parachute than no parachute at all. Well obviously, he was talking about dying DURING the actual fall, not when you hit the ground.... It's a myth that you die while falling, it's possible to die from a heart attack like hackmed said but you don't ever go so fast your neck breaks or something. I've had a minute and a half of free-fall from 12,000 feet, which is much more than enough time to hit terminal velocity, and I survived no problem. | ||
