looks pretty sane to me, heck this guy had a safety line.
Not saying that I have not done crazy climbs myself, but Dan Osman, without a doubt was the craziest solo climber of all time, check out this video, the last scene while he is bungie jumping I believe off El Cap is where he met his fate, the rope snapped and he fell thousands of feet.
