Dan Osman: Speed rock climbing

This is pretty impressive, and pretty dangerous. Dan was later to tragically die in an extreme free fall jump tethered to a rope, which went tragically wrong.

On the documentary I saw this on it was said normal rock climbers usually take about 3 hours to climb this rock and Dan does it with no equipment in 4 minutes.

Dan did not die in a rock climbing accident but in a single rope jump from Leaning Tower.
