Wow
There are some towers near where I live that are not in use, I wish I could buy the place and turn it into a playground for adults
I'm learning to skydive and when I'm able I hope to base jump those towers
These cooling towers are a piece of art
They are just ads
@@theplayah442 No matter what they are... They look awesome.
Vodacom art hahahahha
Pretty nifty solution to hoist up the other end as well. I remember that Magnus Mitbo, who attempted a long rope climb once, mentioned that the weight of the rope made it almost impossible to lock your feet properly once you progress up.
I was searching for that.
With that preparation magnus would go for 200m 😂
I would think it should help keep it from spinning as well.
I feel like that is cheating
@@jindrichhermann7937 definitely a mechanical advantage. It's kinda cheating in my mind. At least he holds the record for minimal static weight on the rope for that length... Anyways very impressive.
Magnus would crush this set up, no question.
After drinking the RedBull at the top I thought he was gonna jump...😀
And fly.
I thought the same thing!
I can't believe he *pulled* that off.
Hard Work Paid Off
Thank god he is wearing a helmet lol
Use the speed climbing harness next time! 😉
Fezzik climbed the cliffs of insanity carrying 3 people.... the fact that this guy thinks he is breaking a world record is inconceivable.
Your comment was spittin-coffee funny!
That makes me happy, I was unsure if anyone would recall that classic film!
Fantastic work and edit. South Africa is a wonderful place lucky man!
Who in the he’ll thinks of this stuff lol I want that job to come up with crazy Red Bull stunts !!! Where do I apply
You have a rare gift, no good English word for it, it's called "vasbyt"... And you surely CAN. Well done 👍🏻
What language is this?
That's awesome, I visited that spot once during travel and it is no joke
How are you doing today?
red bull gives you wings bro if anything diabetes or a heart attack
I find it hilarious that the athletes they sponsor would never actually put that crap in their own bodys.
Basically 7 minutes of talking. 3 min of climbing
I would love to know the times for each ten-meter interval! Is there somewhere I can obtain that information for research purposes? Amazing job!
1:55 well... Hold my Magnus Midtbø
I guess you are also from south africa like myself💪☀️
🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
SA needed this , great stuff boet
The climber do very hard work🤗🤗👌👍
Masha'allah, this channel is fairy tale.
My bru should’ve bungeed off there to sign off the Lekker win for SA🍻💪 🔥
At first I thought it was just about speed, but wow it's much more impressive than that
damn such a wonderful story full of dedication and fierce strength
Such an awesome and inspiring video!
What could that helmet do for him at this point?
More advertising money?
Reaching higher altitudes by climbing up the rope in the continual effort is terrific.
love how the white guy is not wearing a mask, but the black guy is. Good job Red bull! (sarcasm) picture of white south Africans not giving a crap about anyone who isn't white.
When I was in highschool I could have smashed this record. Did countless consecutive rope climbs with only my hands.
Now I'm a blob that can barely lift my body weight 😂
Hahaha I thought the same thing. My upper body strength was like no other. I would club ropes all day with only my arms and no legs at all.
High school ropes are usually less than 8m. But yeah would have been fun to try in our prime.
I was the same in highschool too, could out climb everybody hand over hand. Now I'm a 69 year old 175 lb diesel mechanic & I can still do it. I wonder if there's a seniors for this!
Tree climbing legend Bernd Strasser did a 100 meter climb in under 5 min in a TV show!!!
Beddes as he is known in the world of professional tree climbing didn't lift up the rope underneath, him he had a system where he was able to unclip the rope underneath and keep climbing
LEGEND
Where is the footage..it has to be tested and proven?
Bruh.... Nice
That was amazing! Lots of training and works pays off well done!
Making SA proud bruh, well done bugger
Thomas has got this I have faith, he will smash this record 💥💥😎💥💥
That's the spirit!
@@redbull 😁❤️
kind of cheatin?! 90M Rope is heavy
abd.....
Respect for trying to break a record that's so difficult
Most underwhelming record 😅
Do it without hoist u cheater can put safty net under u no excuses
I wanna know how many pistol squats he did on the rope exactly, Thomas if you ever find this comment, let me know.
I don't even know how many I did. ;) enough lol
Wow that’s crazy
Still cool, but he's cheating though. The hard thing about climbing a long rope is the weight of the rope below you, the higher you go, the heavier it gets, the harder it gets. They are hoisting up the row below him, so it doesn't matter if he's at ground level or 80 meters up, he only has a few meters of rope below him.
The rope you're talking about is only for his safety. Has nothing to do with what he wanted to attempt or the world record.
@@MegaWernich the rope you are talking about ist not the rope he is talking about.
They are pulling up the thick rope under him,so it is easier for him to lock his feet.
@@rockhock108 noticed after i commented 😅
I still believe it's a safety feature tho. Cause that rope can cause problems dangling like that.
@@MegaWernich nah the safety feature is the harness thats also attached if he falls. The large rope is being pulled up as well as it is virtually impossible for him to continue that technique and lock his feet in with the weight of all that rope below, so they pull it up so he can continue that technique. So yeah, kind of not a legit climb like above said. Still highly impressive you must admit!
Juste regardé ca me fait peur
Site Manager is so lovely 🐱😍🤗
Круто!!!... 👍👍 💪💪
I can break this recard
thats impressive!!!
กระทิงแดง
beast mode
magnus mitbo did it first
Cezary? 🤔
Uhh....NO!
Fajne Red Bull
Does somebody noticed that he sounds like Schwarzenegger? 7:48
Props. Nobody doing what I’m doing either. Nice pull.
I really want to ask why? But why not, it’s your world bud I’m just living in it, congrats on the hard work!
🤭
😒
GREAT 👍👍👍💪
Mark Chisholm (arborist climbing champion) it seems like there is a new challenge for you.
Great climb , now if you want a real challenge walk from Soweto to Jo- Berg and make it out alive !
Did you ask for advice from Ross Edgley? He might have had good ones to share. 😉
Well, that mandatory sip of Red Bull in every video ...
thats how i think i look after passing 5 pullups
Magnus did it better without cheating
Magnus failed.this man is an ocr world champion bro.
Red Bull POWER 🙂ٍ 👍
