Commitment
Now this is what I call commitment. This guy, Dan Osman, speed climbs a little over 400 ft in 4:25--without any gear whatsoever (no harness, no rope, etc.)! Talk about a real life Spider-Man.
Some of the stuff he does in this video is jaw-dropping, in particular the dynos (the moves where you jump, release, and then catch).

Actually, sadly, he already did die. If you follow the wiki link (click on his name), you'll see that he died in a climbing accident where he was free-fall jumping.

Yea it's too bad. From what I've read, a simple equipment check would probably prevented his death.

He lived fast died young and died doing what he loved. Sounds OK to me.
