Browsing google I came upon the 60 minute interview with Alex Honnold, he climbs up huge vertical cliffs with no safety mechanisms.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=SR1jwwagtaQ#t=671s

He obviously knows 100% what he is doing, but what if anything strange happens, like your hand mysteriously cramps up.. would you call what he does crazy?

Bat crap crazy. I understand why he does it but anyone that willingly goes without any precautions doing something like that is just not right in the head. One thing goes wrong, grab a spot of fresh bird crap or get some sand in your eyes or whatever and it is bye bye. Not worth it IMHO.

Sometimes we have to go all the way to the edge and almost over it to feel alive. It's probably like crack to him. He can't stop and probably won't until it's too late. Some day he'll probably fall.

The Oatmeal Butterscotch paired with a Snickerdoodle
turned my cynical penis into a happy vagina
Then after an Oatmeal Cranberry and Double Chocolate,
it made my new vagina spontaneously sing the Trolololo Song in an elevator.
