I'm a minute in, he's walking down the line, and that seems enough for me!
Twitchy arse time just watching the first 10 seconds...
In a word - no!
Thought this was going to be about naked cycling.
When your chance of survival is more than 50% reliant on luck - It's a stupid enterprise. I stopped watching - Folks like this shouldn't be given airtime.
Sweaty palms.
Definitely looked a bit more luck than judgement. I don't even think I'd walk that. Fair play to him.
Edit: the one in the OP.
Hope bars look lovely!
He's got a full face helmet what's the problem?
Is it Gripshift as well? Pic posted by MOAB up there...
Wouldnt be for me but fair enough if he enjoys it.
I've had a few vids pop up recently of people skiing down the arete of the Aiguille du Midi and lots of people saying its too dangerous etc etc. 20 years ago I 'skied' down it in my ski boots carrying my skis as I was told it was too dangerous to ski, but for me it was less dangerous than walking down the silly roped path.
He said he was enjoying it, not sure how, I'm bricking it just watching.
Doesn’t look that inspiring as a ride, even if you had the required cohones. It like a lot of extreme skiing vids which are essentially people side slipping/jump turning down a coilour barely wider than their skis - just doesn’t look like fun to me.
When he was tripoding down the ledge with one hand on the bars I did think 'this is how things go badly wrong'.
Is it Gripshift as well?
My understanding is the bike he's riding is a pinion gearbox set up - hence the gripshift
the bike he’s riding is a pinion gearbox set up
Definitely is. There are a few carefully placed (surely not Product Placement?!) shots of it. I know this cos I thought "is that an ebike!?" and no, it's a gearbox with PINION in big letters.
I'd be more understanding of his desperate desire to ride it if it looked like amazing riding with exposure, rather than, from what I could tell, just scrabbling down some horrible scree.
Looks ok
Wonder what he'd do if he had a puncture
Thought this was going to be about naked cycling.
I thought it was going to be about excessive lumens on night rides.
Looks like a nice hiking route spoilt by having his bike with him.
Nuts, just not necessarily in a good way...
What a Muppet.
Scrape a bar on the rock and it will turn the wheel to the left, throwing your weight to the right. Nowhere to dab a foot and over he goes.
Im sure he'd be remembered for a year or two.
He’s got a full face helmet what’s the problem?
Not enough hi-vis
