Title: Comparative Risk
Post by: Greg on February 16, 2012, 11:27:47 AM

My wife and I saw this when it was originally shown on 60 Minutes back in October. I remember my palms sweating (honestly) while watching this guy climbing.
No hooks, ropes, cleats, spikes, nada! Brings to mind the fact that perception of risk is often very subjective.

Yep, freestyle climbers are in the top 99.99 percentile of crazy.  Course this guy probably thinks the same about riding a motorcycle during rush hour.

What the heck. I'll go off-topic in my own thread .....  :P

I thought I had seen just about every Beatles photograph, but then I came upon this one on Facebook. Cool.

It's Pete Best's mum, and she's still bitter about it.
