One of my faves was when he was in the Chugach here in Alaska and came upon a waterfall and decided to climb down it. Crazy freak made is way down slippery rock with icy water in his face. Impressive. As in, impressively freaking nutso.
Now, in fairness, one I gotta be honest and say I'm certainly a bit jealous of the man's mad skills and two, I am sorry to hear he's hurt. Would not wish that on anyone.
I would love to be able to go out on one of the survival stints with Stroud (Have multitool will travel) but Grylls scares the hell out of me.
