    Nah, he's using ropes and a helmet.
    The climbers I have greatest respect for are the free climbers.
    Not that it seems a long-lived occupation, but they are awesome in action and seem totally fearless.

    Nice, heres one I took on the same route two years ago. Definitely remember the section with the wooden beam. Not your typical climbing but fun none the less. Trying to remember what the name was?

    It's not blurry. It's bokeh.

    This may be a stupid question but I'm going to ask it anyway.

    What are the big staples in the rocks for. Climbing up the wall? So why all the ropes and holding onto the rock?

    Only for rocks coming down, true.
    Perhaps a parachute ?
