Admittedly, watching other people climb up a wall can be quite dull, especially if you’re not particularly into the sport. However, watching people climb giant features the size of automobiles including a Ford truck and artificial stalactites suspended 45 feet above ground is fucking awesome! Witness the madness of Ford’s SkyMaster challenge held earlier this year at the Ordnance Survey Outdoors Show in Birmingham, England.

Dude, if that’s not worth an X Games event or ESPN coverage, I don’t know what is. I mean, check out the insane blueprints of this thing!

Here’s Beth Monks climbing the insane route. The video cuts off before she finishes, but man, that looks like a whole helluva good time.

The course was designed by X1 Sports and I think they have plans to kick things up a bit further for this year’s show. Someday, I want to climb on something that fucking insane!
