Watch this all the way through - we guarantee you'll be showing the lads later.

This is one hell of a video. The lads at Epic TV have put up the latest in their Bona Fide series, this coming from the top of the Alpine dam in Switzerland. Climber and BASE lover Tim Howell traveled to the highest artificial climbing wall in the world and filmed this along with James McGroatly. In one sequence, Tim climbs the length of five pitches using a rope, then detaches himself while trying to finish the final pitch. When he falls, he does so in style, quickly releasing his parachute to complete an elegant jump. This is remarkable. https://youtu.be/Sn-eTR-zZZM
