1. Jesus H. Christ

When he jumped up to grab that ledge, I almost threw up.

2. Saw that the other day

Poor bastard.

Moral of the story is, if you have a bad feeling about something, don't do it. He did, and well, his bio has the rest, but he didn't fall.

5. I just read the story of his last jump.

Wild. All the things that go through my mind when I think about it. Like you said, don't do it if the feeling is not right. But also what kind of brilliance he had. And how pathetic to let that just disappear.

8. Truly, that's a trip

and I'm willing to believe it's real. I'm guessing he must have preset the cameras. That tells me he'd been up that rock several times.

I recognize his name from somewhere. Wonder if he's been climbing in the New River Gorge here in Wild, Wonderful.
