    fu jow, b1tches!

    I imagine what kind of high these guys must experience. I'd love to get into the sport, but if the fall doesn't kill me, my old mother surely will

    Awesome, I have so much respect for people that do things that I am too chicken **** to do !!


    On a side note, since you mentioned fu jow, I have come to the conclusion that many systems with specialized "hands" came about because their developer had extra ordinary strength/skill in that particular hand.

    I think it's nuts to go without the harness...but I'm sure it's a good high.
    Of all the various grip workouts I've done, rock climbing is the best workout and the most fun...unfortunately it's also the least convenient.

    Now that you`ve mentioned HALO, it got me thinking: shouldn`t those climbers at least equip themselves with a parachute, or one of those funny looking batsuits base jumpers wear? Guess an extra insurance ruins their adrenaline trip...

    I always think how are they getting down. I love the dude wearing the helmet if you fall it`s wearing you for protection. Monkey king indeed. Chris Sharma man beast of a climber I love watching him climb he inspired me to do a bit of climbing.
    Go hard or go home or some where else up to you
