One of these days one of them will fall and the accompanying Youtube video will be very messy - can you imagine falling from that high what would be left of you?
 


Not impressed, minimal climbing skill required and almost no exposure.....

For us non climbers though watching that gives us the same sensation as just after someone has kicked us in the scrote.

pffft amateurs...they have ladders, stairs and stuff. Not having this at all!

maybe if 1 of them had toileted and broke it up with a rock it would have sufficed ?

As the 2 resident 'Altituders' I think you should be posting some rock face pics, Mrs Esk must have some great Eiger ones ?
 
Reidy,

Smearing is a necessity not a choice in high-altitude mountaineering. The only alternative is to curl one in a plastic bag and stuff it in your mates rucksack without him noticing.

Anyway - here's a proper climb....Ueli Steck speed climbing the north face of the Eiger.

my mate freefalls out of helicopters down that, and then does that touching down on patches of snow with skis & taking off again thing.


with a parachute obviously.
