Knows what he's doing at what?
How much crack climbing do you think people do on their way up Everest? Or in the SAS?

1:56 you can see the top belayer in a black cap and red hoody as Bear tops out.

this is tv guys, its entertainment and not instructional. bear grylls does come across as a little douchey but i think in all seriousness he is a serious athlete, a very accomplished guy. we might flame him (he gets so much shit in the UK) but we all secretly want his wealth and status right? |

Josh wow. i didnt even notice that until i put it into hd, but that is funny! he gets to the top and his "lead" rope is just a tail...
But otherwise, good camera work, very cliche, and all hollywood.

I just meant climbing, survival, whatever in general... he's 37 or so? Climbing for ~30 years? I'd be very surprised if he only did alpine snow. He's definitely pretty accomplished. I just think hollywood & money got ahold of him! :)
I mean for god sakes... Walmart sells Bear Grylls gear now. Lol
