catbirdseat Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 We've seen it. Osman doing Bear's Reach. Quote
iammo Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 a million times. btw. 400 meters in 4:25 would be pretty incredible Quote
whirlwind Posted March 26, 2006 Author Posted March 26, 2006 indeed we have does that make it any less impressive, yeah its 5.7 but he is flying you don't even see most people tr things that fast. let alone dino a couple hundred ft up with out pro oh and was it ft and not meter my bad. Quote
Bigtree Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 Impressive but about as stupid as the free falling stunt that killed him leaving a wife and child or two behind as I vaguely recall. Quote
whirlwind Posted March 26, 2006 Author Posted March 26, 2006 every one dies eventually i'm sure this has been argued amillion times but he could have just as easy died walking cross the street. Quote
mountainhesh Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 ...seen it a million times, ah so what. The guy was a textbook enigma. There are clearly some talented climbers on this site that are pushing the boundaries. Roll the dice enough times and your number may come up, to which your passion will be derided by the grandpa section as a foolish waste of time...sigh Quote
curtveld Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 Was Osman an “enigma” or an incurable attention-seeker? I never met the guy, but this clip certainly suggests the second was a part of who he was. But yes, everyone gets to choose their own path and also to decide what it takes to be a “badass” in their view. Quote
whirlwind Posted March 27, 2006 Author Posted March 27, 2006 maybe badass as was the wrong word, but i still have respect for him not many people would even try such a feat. maybe ballsey and stupid is a better description, who cares any how Quote
EWolfe Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Isn't there a picture of gollum speed-climbing Bear's Reach? Quote
syudla Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 it was an ex-wife and one child. Met/know the daughter. A beautiful well adjusted girl. Quote
StevenSeagal Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 WTF? I thought this thread was about me. Quote
