I thought Everest didn't have a steep enough cliff for a base jump.

I feel like this could go bad a lot faster than the space jump could.

I think this Everest jump is probably more likely to result in catastrophe than the space jump or the grand canyon tight rope.

Sounds like disaster. Just getting to the peak is a monumental task in itself.

In my opinion, nothing is crazier than this shite:

The North Face: Alex Honnold - El Sendero Luminoso


Scroll to the 3 minute mark to get to the part where you shite your pants. The dude climbs cliffs without rope.

Best line about Honnold I read on another board?

Q: I wonder how many pullups he can do?
A: All of them.

This one also makes me hide in my cubicle:

Dean Potter- slacklining with no rope

There's a documentary on him which is pretty interesting.
