Amazing. Love that image of him standing on that tiny ledge on half dome with his back to the wall. I kind of hope he stops before the inevitable happens though.

The physical feat is remarkable, but his mental capacity is what makes this almost super-human, given how we think about our species currently. Sadly, for hominini I doubt there's much chance for him to spread his seed productively when isolated on rock faces...maybe a sperm bank will convince him to deposit frequently. Or maybe he's a wild man in more terrestrial conditions.
Also, there is not a small chance that his death will be from fall. Autopsy will unlikely be a useful means to study his brain.
