...well that made my arse "wink".

But I think this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmDhRvvs5Xw is on a
par
with it.

Or how about this one (speed free-climber Dan Osman [RIP])

I was wondering how long it would be before someone posted one of Dan's
videos - nutter that he was! (saw footage of one ascent he did - over
taking some "traditional" climbers half way up. They took 2 hours to do
the ascent, he did it in under six minutes!


Bloody hell - that guy is basically a human spider!

I couldn't ascend a set of stairs of the same height that quickly! Not
only is he a genius climber, but if you think about the potential energy
involved, he is rediculously fit too!


Not 'is', but 'was', sadly:
