A parachute would be a good idea. Climbing down from that would be absolutely nutso.

Dan Osman was a really good free climber. He eventually fell and died, though =[.

WTF?????
That dude must have been out of his fucking mind.
Also, how do you just DROP a couple hundred feet and then get caught by a rope? wouldnt that like...BREAK something? like wouldn't it at least dislocate something? that seems like a lot of force to put on your body.

Usually you should belay a rope through you climbing system so you DON'T fall. Aside from being really rough on your body it also puts a serious strain on your rope and weakens it considerably.

Well I feel lucky to be alive. It's therapy. If you are stressed about something or have anxiety just think, "I could be dead." Really puts life in perspective.

They use the antenna as a base to pull the other sections of the antenna up. And they brace it at various intervals with wire, like shLong said.

I second this. Watched this vid ages back and had to show all my friends. This dude is the definition of BALLS.

The video is intense, but I think they also use a really wide angle lens which will give the impression of the ground being further than it is
