Amazing climber that has about a 40m fall. This is actually Didier Berthod (climbing guru from Swizterland) trying to make the first free ascent of Squamish's Cobra crack (5.14) in BC Canada in 2005. Many have tried but until June 2006, nobody had been successful. Didier was going to try again in 2006 to be the first, but had a knee injury on climb day which left it up to Sonnie Trotter who actually completed the first ever free ascent of what is arguably the most difficult crack in the world.
