I would not have the testicular fortitude to do that without a rope/harness

"Death Dan Osman died November 23, 1998 at the age of 35 after his rope failed while performing a "controlled free-fall" jump from the Leaning Tower rock formation in Yosemite National Park. Osman had come back to Yosemite to dismantle the jump tower but apparently decided to make several jumps (over a few days) before doing so.[2] The failure was investigated by the National Park Service with assistance from Chris Harmston, Quality Assurance Manager at Black Diamond Equipment. Harmston concluded that a change in jump site angle probably caused the ropes to cross and entangle, leading to the rope cutting by melting.[3] Miles Daisher, who was with Osman when he made the jump, stated that the ropes used in his fatal jump had been exposed to inclement weather — including rain and snow — for more than a month before the fatal jump, but that the same ropes were used for several shorter jumps on the previous and same day.[2]"

while that is impressive, that guy was absolutely bat shit insane (and arguably stupid- but I'm sure someone on here will try telling me jumping around on a 200 foot wall without a rope is in no way stupid)


although kinda strange that his death came from him jumping while attached to a rope.

I've climbed that climb.

It is a really good 5.7. The 2nd pitch has pretty bad pro and last time I did I just ran it out for 40 ft. Not the same as soloing it but still kinda exciting.
