The late Dan Osman speed-soloing "Bear's Reach" on Lovers' Leap in California. It's a 5.7, which roughly equates to about a 4b in UK technical grade, but still.... it's a jawdropping feat of nerve - or utter stupidity, depending on how you look at it. I remember telling Mal Fraser about this video on our outdoor climbing course, and Mal's response was typically pragmatic: Mal: "Dan Osman...... hmm....American lad, is he?" Me: "He was, yeah" Mal: "Was? Well there you go then." Says it all really :) |
