Black Diamond Grassroots athlete Nik Berry decided to take on one of the many mythical Alex Lowe speed records: a car-to-car lap up the Great White Icicle, a 650-foot WI 3 climb near the BD offices here in Salt Lake City. Alex’s record is rumored to be an amazing 18 minutes. Photographer Andrew Burr had a few different cameras in place to capture the speed action, and sent us this video.
[Note: As Nik mentions in the video, speed soloing is “stupid and dangerous” so don’t try this at home. Much like shark diving, juggling chainsaws or dating a Kardashian, it’s fun to watch but ain’t worth the risk to do yourself.]
