Better than coffee

Can't hardly contain myself watching this - a real waker upper. This kid is making ascents in a matter of hours - NO ROPE - that were multiple day climbs. 100o ft, 2000 ft, 3000 ft. Amazing

... speechless! Balls of steel!

That is insane!!

Thats crazy, forget it

crazy.....

Unbelievable!!!!!

But I have to wear a motorcycle helmet when I ride.

And wear a seatbelt.

And I can't get antibiotics without a prescription.


That boy is the most free man in America, right at that moment.

My butt puckers up just watching

That looks like one crazy adventure maybe when I was younger. Wife and kids make you think a lot more when you start getting older.

This is a perfect example of life. If you do not have strings and safety nets to save your ass you will be less likely to take chances that will harm you. You will think harder about the choice and outcome ahead. If you make that choice you deal with the burden yourself.

Wonder why he hates living so much? Stupid.

Most of the other best in the world are dead . He is a freak of nature ! I love watching him and have read about him.

I couldnt make it through the advertisement

I'll stick to coffee

I'll stick to the ground
