BONKERS TOWN — I have made it known that I'm basically a coward. The most daring thing I've ever done is look down the barrel of obesity and eventual heart disease. And that wasn't even on purpose, I just really like potato chips.

Have You Seen This? Panda wrestles with snowman
If you've never seen a panda wrestling a snowman, today is your lucky day.As I watched the video, my heart started racing, and I started yelling at my screen in hopes that this climber would hear. He did not, but he made it up the cliff and seemed just fine.
While this is insanely impressive, it's also insane. We highly suggest that if you go climbing to take a page out of Calhoun's book and do it safely.
