He also is featured crashing a BMX bicycle, ziplining off The Witch, taking a 192 feet (59 m) whipper for fun in Yosemite, and on-sight free-soloing Bolder Display of Power (5.11).
[4] Osman gained a wider audience with his 4 minute 25 second speed solo of the route Bear's Reach (5.7), which was featured in Eric Perlman's film Masters of Stone 4.
Osman's double dyno over the large gap between two holds for which the route is named has become an iconic image in American rock climbing.
[5] Osman died on November 23, 1998, at the age of 35 after his rope failed while performing a "controlled free-fall" jump from the Leaning Tower rock formation in Yosemite National Park.
[3] The failure was investigated by the National Park Service with assistance from Chris Harmston, Quality Assurance Manager at Black Diamond Equipment.
