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.
As a member myself I wouldn't buy any major product without consulting Which? first. Mind you, I like to think Whitegoodshelp is also a good resource for researching white goods :-)

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