Bear Grylls and Alex Honnold Did a 300-Foot Counter Balance Rappel In the Swiss Alps Just For Your Viewing Pleasure

Alex Honnold and Bear Grylls decided to do a counter-balance rappel off a bridge in the Swiss Alps for no other reason than for us to watch. So we should probably watch.

Alex Honnold is pretty damn comfortable when it comes to climbing things. Bear Grylls is pretty damn comfortable doing uncomfortable things. So it only makes sense that National Geographic got the two together and made them rappel down from a steel bridge into a ravine in in the Swiss Alps. For what reason? None, except our viewing pleasure.
