Dan Osman (February 11, 1963 – November 23, 1998) is one of the great Japanese-American Extreme Rock Climber who has several World Guinness Records. He was known for his daredevil moves on his dangerous sports of “free-soloing” (rock climbing without ropes or other safety gear) and “rope jumping” (falling several hundred feet from a cliff then being caught by a safety rope) over 1000 feet/300 meters.
Free Solo Speed Climbing
At the age of 35 years old, he died after his rope failed while performing a “controlled free-fall” jump from the Leaning Tower rock formation in Yosemite National Park.

Tried rock climbing once without any prior experience even on a regular wall. It was scary, but forgot all about that when I was already climbing. Hehe. Do you go rock climbing too? There are a bunch of PTB peeps who want to try it out. :)
