I could tell you the story when I was in India showing Chris Sharma how to do a boulder ranking 5.14, but anyway, noone would believe me...

Camhead...
I've actually heard some story of Crazy Dave free soloing one day (without Chief) and taking a fall. (I should probably read the story again) but from memory he landed in a tree and walked away, much to the disbelief of the onlookers.
I'm pretty sure he's actually dead now.
Cheers,
Elk

Could be another "Crazy Dave" or possibly it wasn't even a Dave, (it's been a while since I've read it), but I read it in a climbing book, an article taken from Climbing Mag. It was an absolute riot! Something to do with the legends of Yosemite or something. I'll have to have another look and check up on it.
