Can't see any rope, harness or climbing gear (though the video resolution is awful), so I'm wondering if this was just an adventurous non climber whose scramble got a bit serious rather than a proper climber?

It wasn't a climber. Probably just someone who had watched Free Solo.

Yikes, looks like they climbed up the scar from a rockfall!

As  they say, "minus several million for good thinking".

> Looks nice and chossy.....

I was thinking it looked pretty good, although perhaps best climbed facing the rock...

Not very impressed with the Independent's sneering comment that he was wearing a t-shirt and tracksuit bottoms. Would they rather he was wearing an everest suit?

Yes, I'm not sure inappropriate clothing was the issue.

Unfortunately promotes publicity about stupid, time-wasting "climbers". Tourist would probably have been better.

Utterly irresponsible. If he'd done this a few months ago he'd have had a soft landing on the acres of sweaty red fatties underneath.

If they were climbing, they were a climber, surely ?

I like the way the film cuts at the top - just as the winch man rolls him over on the grass and is about to thump him for being an arse...
