We settled a few projects up called "zende yad Dan Osman"
which means in remembering of Dan Osman, which includes safety rope jumps from various bridges around Iran...just a small tribute to this Great man.
Feel free to post any picture/video link, article about Dan Osman.

Do any of you guys know where I could find video of the interview with dan and the interview of his wife, or girlfriend online. I have been looking for it but can only find it in spanish.
Thats awsome to make a tribute to such a interesting person.

I consider myself blessed to have met the man a month before his death. We were on the west face doing the (what i believe to be) the first one day accent and met him on awanhee ledge. He was stoked for us, and added such a wonderful mood to the two of us just cutting our teeth on the easy routes in the valley. I still have a carabiner stamped "DO" that I picked up on that route.

that was an excellent article. i didnt know he decided to change the angle of the jump and that i would affect the impact force.

Here's an alternate analysis:
http://adventureguides.com.au/...ilure%20Analysis.pdf
My understanding was that by hastily changing the position of the ropes on the final jump, it allowed the rope to cross and therefore one section sawed through the other.

well, that seems more plausible than him causing a greater impact force. crossing ropes in such a situation is clearly a really bad idea.

I never got to meet Dano, but I have hung out with some of his friends. He has been inspiring me greatly for about 2 years now. Thanks to him I am climbing harder than ever and even doing a few jumps like he did.
Thanks Dano!!!

In the video when he takes the monstrous whipper with 4-5 pieces of pro coming out -- did he set that up? I would imagine he had to have made some bad placements on purpose with a submarine anchor to catch him...right?

actually I think that he cut the slings on the pieces so they would all rip but I could be wrong. Yeah that whipper is crazy. That is some confidence in your anchor for sure. I could be wrong about how he did it so dont take this as gospel......

I get most of the stuff, but why cut the slings? Why not just take one fall on the anchor you want to hold you? Maybe I just haven't had enough gear fail on me to understand, heh.

All the pieces in their entirity seemed to pull. I'd guess he either placed all the pieces tipped out or that was a legit zipper.

Considering there was a camera crew waiting there to catch the action and the camera guy didn't miss a second of the fall (which implies to me he was ready for it) it's assumable that the fall was rigged for good theater.

We're not supposed to get people like Dano. We just acknowledge that he's of our tribe, and his legend lives on. He's up there in the night sky now, with The Hunter and The Bear. Go out on a clear mountain night when the stars shine so bright you need shade.... if you watch carefully and quietly you'll see him, raising hell with the gods.
I heard he got Atlas to do a rope jump!!!111
Raise up the Glass! (Time for a Steely Dan tune)
Now they lay his body down
Sad old men who run this town
I still recall the way
He led the charge and saved the day
Blue blood and rain
I can hear the bugle playin'
We seen the last of ole Dan Osman
Ring out the past his name lives on (and on)
Roll out the bones and raise up your pitcher
Raise up your glass to Good King gone
While he plummited far and wide
All his loving friends cried
And though we sung his fame
We all missed himj just the same
He meant to shine
To the end of the line
We seen the last of ole Dan Osman
Ring out the past his name lives on (and on)
Roll out the bones and raise up your pitcher
Raise up your glass to Good King gone
Raise up your glasses tonight for Dano. Have a Milktoast on me!

That's it exactly - it was a fall specifically staged for the video, with the slings intentionally cut 3/4 through to simulate a zipper fall.
Maybe some of the slings where cut but I've seen that video and you can clearly see at least two cams on the rope while he's falling.

Before I ever climbed, someone showed me the video masters of stone V with the tribute to Dan Osman. At the time I didn't know the story and that the Dan Osman segment was a tribute because he had died. However, it is actually watching that film and specifically that segment that I became interested in rock climbing and took my first trip to a gym to see what it was all about. Even in his death, Dan Osman is still inspiring future generations of climbers. Rest in peace Dan Osman, I'll always remember that you brought me into this sport.

I remember when i first got into climbing the friend who got me hooked, I was so amazed by his climbing. In fact Dan was what inspired myself and my wife to give up our apartment, forget the so called sane life we were living(house job ect) and head out on the road. we had talked about camping out and traveling 2-3 years ago. Then last November we decided to give up everything but yet gain everything. We learned alot. from November to may we just traveled place to place. In November we stayed at Jackson falls for about a month (thought about driving trucks then realized it would conflict with climbing) we met some really good people and had some fun. We did some things which people looked at us like we were nuts and we learned from those things. We moved on ended up in Alabama, Kentucky, North and South Carolina, and Tennessee. We climbed hard and enjoyed many evenings around the fire with people (the guys from WI were way cool) We got to know the locals in many different places. We re-learned how to live life and how precious life is. It was a wonderful time. It was all inspired by Dan Osman, and a friend we met years ago on a very cold spring break named Phillip M. who we shared bbq with whos kindness and love fore life matched that of what i have read about danno-
From the many things i have read Danno loved life and though this trip was inspired by That love for life. Thanks for the inspiration that lead to the last 6 months

I've read the account by the guy at black diamond who analyzed a section of the rope, and he says that the rope is melted where it broke, consistent with two strands of rope rubbing against each other. Not sure if this happened at a knot or because of two ropes crossing.

Dan Osman was the ultimate in climbing mentality. He always had a great attitude, he pushed the sport and evolved it. He made me want to climb harder when i first started and still does today. DAN-O your the man!

stunt "jumping" was somewhat novel at the time, apparently Suzuki (belayer) cracked his helmet on that one.
I miss Dan0, it's going on 10 years almost today the day iirc. It's a 5.14 send to heaven....keep skipping bolts

Dan Osman was an amazing climber. Every time I watch one of his videos, I just say to myself "why did he have to die." Ya just wonder what kind of crazy shit he would be doing if he was still alive

Dan Osmond was the best climber ever.
He passed away when his rope broke. He Jumped once, jugged to the top, and jumped for the last time. If I remember correctly the rope broke at the knot.

Anybody notice that Eric Pearlman Productions has taken all the clips off of youtube?
I'm all for intellectual property rights but seems to me a true friend would let Dano's memory live on by allowing the clips to say on youtube.
At this point it seems like Pearlman is trying to squeeze every last drop out of his Dano's accomplishments.
I vote douchebag.

Before you go all judgmental here, check out the following comment by his daughter, Emma.
Searches will reveal quite a bit about her and by her.

skiclimb, not sure why you bother.
Jbone has evidently wandered onto rc.com by mistake; he actually meant to be on parents.com with people he respects.
Which would explain why he/she isn't familiar with the forum posting guidelines:
"A Forum where we honor and pay tribute to our fellow climbers, friends, partners and heroes that have passed away."
But that's ok, his/her post will be removed soon and further sanctions may follow since "this forum will be strictly moderated."

Leave Jbone alone. He dosn't have to respect an irrational adrenlan craving. I don't like rope jumping either. I do think that Mr. Osmond was an exceptionaly talented and gifted climber.
I wrote this prayer to the Holly spirit asking for a blessing I pray and wish that the world would stop falling around us. I ask you to guide us into making rational decisions. Dan is not the only fallen hero there is nothing more tragic than watching flashing lights zoom past. After that you find out another Hero has fallen. Or a Family member has passed.
These are our leaders. With fallen heros we loose our leaders. We are our leaders streangth. Without our leaders we are nothing but week scampering chipmunks. I ask you to give us guidence to make the right decisions because even when we don't feel like we need to be there for our selfs. There will always be some fragile living creature following our lead and starving for our guidence. So please keep us strong do not allow us to turn aginst our friends. Allow us to grow with the fruit of happiness. Also allow us to remember that even though we can not be with our leaders that we can carry there influences
and that we have learned what we could have from them. Also that it is our duty to carry there soul with us. Help us lead others to safty by our actions. We need water to live the same water that falls from the heavens let us be blessed with holywater. Allow our choices to be made with holy wisdom. This is my vision.

Did the Holly spirit respond with, "WTF?"

This guy is not the troll that this website deserves, but he is the troll this website needs.

theguy wrote: skiclimb, not sure why you bother. Jbone has evidently wandered onto rc.com by mistake; he actually meant to be on parents.com with people he respects. Which would explain why he/she isn't familiar with the forum posting guidelines: " A Forum where we honor and pay tribute to our fellow climbers, friends, partners and heroes that have passed away." But that's ok, his/her post will be removed soon and further sanctions may follow since "this forum will be strictly moderated."
^^^^^
Please see what is bolded above, folks. A few posts have been hidden in this thread.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ Wot she said.
The mods do trawl around the forums. Some are lightly or not moderated at all but this forum and a couple of others are watched over and we will remove posts we deem are not on topic or as this forums case may be, not respectful.
We are not about over moderation here on rc but this forum in particular is somewhere where you should be very civil and respectful. Play nice in the sandpit mkay.
Carry on.

I'm all for intellectual property rights but seems to me a true friend would let Dano's memory live on by allowing the clips to say on youtube. At this point it seems like Pearlman is trying to squeeze every last drop out of his Dano's accomplishments. I vote douchebag.
Yes, maybe a rough interested friendship, saving Dan's accomplishments, sparing memory.
12 years gone ...
Merci Dan
