| | | I'm not gonna lie: I've done something similar. Except it was from both hands, and I wasn't taking a picture, and... I only did it once. That was all it took to teach me that yes, I can. FWIW, I was on my way up to Horn Lake caves on Vancouver Island. If you keep your eyes peeled, as you get near the mountain at the west end of the lake, there are (or at least were) some old steel power line towers, with no wires in between. Yeah, I climbed one, because it's not often you get to do that (they almost always have NOPE wires). They might be gone, or hard to see in the trees now.

I think marijuana is just nature's way of saying high!

| | | Posted by Landser Um guys..let us not be stupid. While it is sad that he died, he kind of had it coming for him.
| We all got it coming... I feel sorry for him. He was fit and an adrenaline junky like myself and many here. He was young and inexperienced like many FNGs here. He failed to anticipate the shock load. Don't think he was using a energy absorber attached to his harness/rope. Had he used one, he may have not broke the rope. He still would have been in beaucoup trouble, but may have survived. As it was he had way too much time to review his mistake and died in agonizing pain up to 30 minutes latter. Learn from his mistake. Structures fail too. When you get up 5 feet plus if you fall through a hole or flooring gives, or corroded anchor bolts on a catwalk or stairs break with no warning, or a concrete stairs collapses under your weight due to internal corrosion of the rebar, you will find yourself free falling like him. Even professionals inspecting structures have been killed like this. -Rest in Peace-
