I used to rock climb, but never like this!

Hey - those links at the end work too. I looked at the egg x-ray one.

My first thought on this one though is "He's gonna die doing that."

My next thought is they use a lot of camera angles and this looks like a composite of footage from multiple climbs. Either that, or it's one climb and they used a lot of cameras (and other people for the panned shots).

While I would never expect to be able to climb like that, the speed reminds me of a very intricately choreographed dance. You do it many, many times to get it to look smooth.

I wonder how many times he climbed that wall before he got that speed.

But dang, that's impressive!
