Free Solo Footage Report this Post Average: (0 ratings)	Can't Post

Not sure this really belongs here but it's the most fitting category I could find.

I really like watching Free Solo videos, so far I've seen a few dan osman and a few dean potter, also one from patrick edlinger, but I know there are many more out there, so if you have a few post em up.

There is a really scary video of Max Zolotukhin highballing/Free Soloing. It ends up really bad for him and you can read his account of it here.

http://bostonrockgym.wordpress.com/...teep-learning-curve/

I won’t post a direct link to the video. However, if you really want to see it you can search
http://www.deadpointmag.com for when-highballing-goes-bad.

This video, IMHO, should be in the must-see list for anyone tinkering with the idea of free soloing, after watching the oh-so-cool videos of Potter, Osman, Honold, etc.

"Contrast" would be putting it lightly.

Besides making me a bit dizzy, that video looked mostly 4th class.

This one shows a bit better perspective with Dan following me on one of the more exposed hunter rocks circuits. The climbing is 5.7-5.10 and typically 30-40 feet up.
