A Colorado climber is somehow alive after a terrifying 60 ft fall off a cliff - and it was all caught on a GoPro camera.
26-year-old Kyle Walker was making his was up the Flatirons in Boulder when the fall occurred.
The camera, which was strapped to his chest at the time, caught the graphic free fall from the second flatiron.
This wasn’t the first time Kyle had climbed the flatirons though - he says that he’d tackled the rock formation hundreds of times.
It was this time, though, that he was climbing without ropes and was alone.
The video begins full of tension has you see him shaking, desperately trying to maintain a grasp on rock ledges and can hear his rapid breaths.
"Oh, what have you done?" he can be heard whispering to himself.
At the :48 second mark, though, tragedy strikes.
Walker’s foot slips and he plummets 60 feet to the ground.
"In the middle of my final move I realize I'm tiring quickly and I have one chance to explode over the rock to a resting place," Walker told the Boulder Daily Camera. "Instead my feet slipped on the lichen-covered section of the wall and I was in free fall before I knew what had happened."
Dreadfully, the next four-plus-minutes of the video shows part of Kyle’s bloody face.
All the viewer can hear is his ragged breaths as he goes in and out of consciousness on the ground.

WARNING: THIS MAY BE GRAPHIC FOR SOME
Thankfully, Walker was found on the ground by another hiker an hour later.
At the hospital he learned that he'd broken his wrists, eight ribs as well as his pelvis.
He’d also punctured a lung during the fall.
He was released from Boulder Community Health’s Foothills Hospital this week.
