Alain Robert urban climbing

Alain Robert great french rock and 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 all around the world. Some of them are in the list of  world’s tallest structures. His urban climbing began from the time he was 12, he forgot the keys and was locked out of his parents 8-floor apartment, and he simply climbed the exterior wall to his home.

Take a look at this brave man:

Here’s one more video of him climbing 150 meter building in Abu Dhabi:

List of extreme sports

My list of extreme sports:

BASE Jumping: is very extreme activity that includes a parachute (can be used both parachute and wingsuit) to jump from fixed objects, with unopened parachute like skydiving. The acronym “B.A.S.E.” stands for: Building, Antenna, Span, Earth – four categories of objects from which B.A.S.E. jumper can jump.

Extreme Sports

Bodyboarding: is a kind of wave surfing. But instead of surfboard u have a rectangular piece of hydrodynamic foam.

Shape of board depends on riding style, and rider himself. Wiki says that bodyboarding is fastest growing extreme water sports all over the world.

Extreme Sports
Canoeing: extreme canoeing (a.k.a whitewater canoeing or whitewater racing). These extreme guys race specialised canoes and kayaks down a dangerous whitewater rivers. There is also such a class like Extreme Canoe racing, that includes much more complicated rapids, leave it for real pros :)

Climbing: Dan Osman free solo legend

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.

Dan Osman

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…
