I found this video on while searching for some info on Free Solo Climbing. For those who don't know, Free Soloing is where you climb shear faces without any gear of any kind. Anyways, this video is nuts, and this guy is awesome...
thanks,
Joshua

He died November 23, 1998 at the age of 35 after his rope cut while performing a controlled free-fall jump from the Leaning Tower rock formation in Yosemite National Park. The exact cause of the failure is unknown, but a change in jump site selection which caused a rigging entanglement is most likely.

Someone told me he died so I finally looked it up.
