Holy crap. When he's going up that last bit all he's basically holding onto is a couple of bolts. It only takes one of those to snap. Big

Absolutely off the scale.

I watched it with my cousin and decided you could give me Heffner's life style and abramovich's money and i still wouldn't do it.

I have THE sweatiest palms ever just watching it.
