Climbing: Dan Osman free solo legend
May 16, 2008 at 5:41 pm 5 comments
Dan Osman was an climbing legend. He practiced free-soloing, one of the most dangerous extreme sports. In free solo, climbers don’t use ropes or any other safety gear.
Take a look at him. No ropes and he is climbing upside down. His hands were really made of rock!
So! How do u think? No that’s not all! How about some speed solo climbing?
Video from Lover’s Leap (Bear’s Reach, 5.7.) He made more than 400 feet in 4:25!
He also practiced “rope jumping” or “controlled free-falling”. His record was insane falling from the cliff over 1300 feet high. Check this one:
But once in Yosemite National Park performing unreal “controlled free-fall” from the “Leaning Tower” rock his rope failed, he was only 35…

WOW, seriously I haven’t heard about this guy until I saw what you had posted. That’s honestly insane. Shame he died though, atleast he died doing what he liked to do. But honestly, I wonder what his thoughts were going through his head when he was climbing and jumping…

[...] urban climber. They call him Spiderman! In my opinion Robetr is not so great in rock climbing like Dan Osman. But what can I say about his urban climbing, he is a real pro. He scaled 85 very high structures [...]

iv seen quiet a few of his climbs over the internet and they have impressed me, but i am a urban free solo climber and locally known as the “leedsclimber”, im wondering if there is any forums or pages that have the names of other climbers on, so that i could put my name on it too and be recognised, the legend alain robert is rather much of an inspiration to me but on the other hand quiet a competition, some day i would like to be like him but for now im not recognised enough yet, the areas in wich i have already climber in the UK are “Leeds, York, Manchester, Liverpool, Thirsk, Northumberland, halifax, sheffield and also chesea, these areas most of the common landmarks have been climber and been succesfull, i feel a slight dissapointment that after my adventures and acomplishments i am still yet to be noticed, could someone please try and help me and give me some information as to how i can become more recognised, any help is very much appreciated . thank you

The category was hottest divas. Kelly Kelly is an acceptable answer. Whoever gave you a down vote report to the parking lot and give me twenty bumps!
