    Climbing + drone video = SPECTACULAR!!! Now the paragliding once you get to the top is new (to me) but quite possibly the best combination of sports ever!

    Never read the description then at 0:19 "I think I know that voice", 1:55 "I think I also know that van" and finally at 2:23 "Jesus he sold me a pair of climbing shoes gave me the occasional free brownie + climbing tips and I've never noticed he's famous!" Can't wait for the climbing center to be back open!

    Beautiful film. I’ve been studying solo climbing for months now. I’m only beginning to refine a top rope system and I’m only beginning to understand lead. It highlighted his lifestyle greatly and the flying at the end was the coolest way to end a multi pitch

    I know next to zero about this but I don't see any real difference between this and base jumping. The danger level is as high as the death rate. Sure, people can drive cars over 200mph, too. But those cars can't have camera crews waiting for that deadly error. Having watched this I'm surprised this guy bothers with ropes.
