I wouldn't try that even if they offered me a new camera and lens of my choice for trying it. LOL Jeff :D:D:D
I would be even more interested to see how she got down.........

Re: This girl is part mountain goat
Wikipedia says she's still around, but apparently somewhat limited by a 66 foot fall she took in '96:
With her fellow alpinist, Érik Decamp, Destivelle climbed the southwest face of Shishapangma in Tibet in 1994 as well as the icefall near Namche Bazaar, Nepal. During their 1996 expedition to Antarctica, they made the first ascent of "Peak 4111" in the Ellsworth Mountains before the expedition was cut short after Destivelle fell 20 meters (66 ft) while descending from the summit and received a compound fracture of her leg.[7] The couple married in 1996 and their son, Victor, was born the following year.[8] She began to cut back on solo climbs in the late 1990s and developed an active career as a lecturer and writer.

Oh I love these free climbing videos. If you think this is cool, check out Alex Honnold, he is arguably the best free climber in the world:
EDIT: Looks like I can't post links yet, but google "alex honnold alone on the wall" it is an amazing video :thumbsup:

People, I was just shocked when I personally registered on this site and several girls wrote to me at once! Just imagine, on this site there is a shortage of men and not vice versa women! Well where else have you seen this, I was just amazed when I realized this. If you want to find your better half, then I advise you to register on the site russian mail order brides, as I did. This site has a very beautiful design. To be honest, I have not seen yet such a beautiful design for a seemingly ordinary dating site, and the functionality is just awesome.
