What a bunch of nuts..

It must have some religious connotation for them, like God chooses a few to toss aside. If you make it home safe, you're still in good standing with the almighty one?

2 plausable explanations:

The Soviets may have done some chemical experimenting in that region during the cold war.

Those folks think that if they can survive a Siberian winter, they can survive anything.
 
The last issue of Alpine has an article on Stolby. I think it was written by the guy in the video.

Stolby reminds me a little of Bluff Park where I grew up. Lots of people hanging out at the cliffs, most of'em getting high and drinking. Nothing like watching a bunch of shitfaced Alabama rednecks playing with firearms and trying to climb overhanging sandstone... no ropes of course.
Ultimately we developed a pretty strong free solo culture around there. Now that whole seven mile long cliff is covered with really expensive houses.

My hands got sweaty watching it. That face first down climbing does make some sense, we're the only critters that climb down butt first.
