Absolutely amazing. Thanks for posting.

I love the footage, but am concerned for the people doing them. They have to have an incredible addiction to adrenaline, or need for a natural high. I've hung with a few such folks, extreme climbers and extreme whitewater junkies. One told me that the only water that interested him anymore was rapids or falls etc. that carried serious risk of not surviving. He told me that by a campfire beside a roaring rapids in sort of a confessional mode, knowing something is wrong with that mindset and that it would kill him if he kept it up.

I was thinking the same, and wonder how many people die or get seriously messed up in the process.
