“Not to sound dramatic, but this is the day I nearly died,” the singer tweeted. “Took a pretty good fall climbing with @AlexHonnol at Red Rock. Looked up and within seconds the rope was being cut by the rock while I dangled some 600 ft in the air. I remember looking down at the ground below.”
“It was a strange moment – less fear, more matter of fact, and slightly melancholy. The adrenaline came after, when I got back on the wall. But we made it through and lived to see another day.”
The tweets also came with a photo of the cut rope and a video of the moments after Leto realized the rope was fraying. Check them out below.

Scary enough, even though we all know it went well.

Bruv. Just stay home and play video games. If you wanna be active just go play half-court basketball in a park near you or something. Or at the very least donate a couple thousand to my PayPal before you go play outdoors spider-man again. The rent is kicking my ass.

Along with his fans, we’re happy he’s OK.
