Off topic although the video does show quite a bit of the terrain in the Blue Mountains area known as Sweet Dreams...
November 07, 2013
TERRIFYING footage has emerged of a Sydney man falling 30m down a cliff face during a rock climbing accident in the Blue Mountains.
Daniel Bush, 27, was on the final pitch of a 30m climb known as Sweet Dreams near Leura in April when disaster struck.
The footage, posted on YouTube on Tuesday, shows him slip and begin to violently tumble before coming to a violent stop

Oh wow Marly - nice catch on the video!
Two very interesting points I'd like to make ...
1 - with Daniels ankles being so damaged, and one left hanging from a thread - I'd say there's a lot of blood on Sweet Dreams.
2 - Daniel had phone reception 35-65 metres down the decent. He was able to call Police...
Mr Bush was able to eventually activate his emergency beacon and use his mobile phone to guide police to his exact location.
Poor Daniel is lucky to be alive - but he may loose his foot due to an infection from when he fell
Sweet Dreams sounds like a horror of a place to go near.
I don't think it likes people climbing all over it.
