Man he was a good climber... Did anyone ever get him up a tree?

jim1nz · 8th May 2007, 12:42 AM

Geez that man must have balls of steel, hes insane!

No doubt he was an excellent climber though.

Everyone Must See That Video!!!

That is some awesome footage!

We've all heard of 'suicide by cop'. I believe Dan died from 'suicide by odds'. It wasn't a question of 'if' he was going to go 'splat' but more a question of 'when'.

Yea thats the one Treeco! haha suicide by odds.

Gota give him credit though

Here's the story of his free fall http://outside.away.com/magazine/0499/9904terminal.html pretty sad really, he had a lot to live for.

Man that has to be one of the crazyest and sad stories I have heared in a long time... But yo know what it might be a smaller scale for us but that is why you always dress your knots everytime. No sharp turns i your knots no painfull falls.
