Dan Osman's Crazy Free-Solo Dyno

Dan Osman's Crazy Free-Solo Dyno

In the 1997 rock climbing film Masters of Stone IV, Dan Osman scrambles, sans ropes, 400 feet up the sheer cliff face of Lover’s Leap in just 4 minutes and 25 seconds. Osman makes the speed free-solo ascent of the 5.7-rated Bear’s Reach look easy. 

With the camera shooting from above, heavy metal playing in the background, and no gear to catch his fall, Osman jumps for a hold with both hands and feet free of the rock for a split second. It’s an iconic clip that has inspired countless climbers - watch below.
