 This is very good. No other words. https://video.nostr.build/9173117fb339ca7d66b08fd7633c418aa7c639cbfcace2347aa6d64f68336ee7.mp4 
 What would you call this mountain monkey parkour? 

A lateral finger leap? 

It's rad... I just dunno how to talk about this sport🤷🏽 or any sport I guess...  
 When I climbed in gyms, we called them dynos for dynamic moves, basically any time you have to launch and let go to get to the next hold 
 Oooh that's really interesting. Thank you

Do there's no special name for sideways launching? 

All launches are dynos?  
 There might be a more specific term that I don't know, but yeah, we would have still called it a dyno any time you were let go of the wall and depended on momentum to carry you to the goal. Typically feet off, too, so all launches would be dynos. 
 Thank you for informing me😁 this is really interesting 
 Yeah, no problem. If you ever want to try it, climbing gyms have become a lot more common, and this would be considered a VERY advanced route if it was in a gym, so you'd have beginner appropriate stuff to learn on. 
 Yeah I don't think I could get up even the beginner routes🤷🏽

I'm not built like that. 

But it's pretty cool to see that someone made cliffhanger a thing in real life. 🤷🏽

 Fuck, that opening is brutal. He's fractions if an inch for meat crayoning a nipple away, and you gotta be ready to whip when you grip. Looks half decent if you make it past the start, though
