What goes up... Climber captures dizzying footage as he scales 2,400ft rock spire in New Hampshire - and then reveals how he gets down again
In a death-defying climb up a steep cliff, this climber shows off some amazing views.
Noah Kane, 22, a filmmaker and avid rock climber films his climbs across the northeast United States.
Kane was scaling The Eaglet in New Hampshire's Franconia notch in June 2021. The Eaglet is a 2,422ft solitary pillar sticking out of the Cannon Mountain.
And in an unusual twist his footage also shows him starting the descent at the end of the video, instructing viewers on how he safely manoeuvres down.

Kane is quite the experienced climber and in addition to The Eaglet, he has also climbed the Deer Leap in Vermont and the Gunks in New York.
The filmmaker credits his hobby to making his documentary Climbing Giants.
He said: 'I got into climbing through my documentary and film making. Me and my filming partner were forced to build our fitness and learn to keep up whilst filming, afterward we couldn't stop
In his footage, Kane starts on a small ledge, already far up the cliff. He can be seen slapping his hands together to prepare himself for the toughest part of his climb: straight up.
He seems to scale the first part quickly, before getting to the slicker, bigger part of the cliff.
The difficult climbs shows Kane sticking his hands in deep slit in the rock to anchor himself to the cliffside

The climber can be seen sitting his hand deep in the rocks to help propel himself up.
He expertly climbs up the harder parts, his GoPro camera showing off the lush green treetops behind him.
About halfway up, he stops to grab gear from his belt. Lodging a tool in between rocks and attaching a rope to a hook before continuing with his climb.
Kane calmly makes it to the top and swirls around to show the view.
The video cuts away to a clip of Kane sitting on the cliff with his legs thrown over the side.
'For those who are wondering how I get down when I'm rock climbing, this video is for you,' he narrated. 'It's always the scariest part.'
He pushes himself off the rock and twists his body to face the cliffside.
He pulls on the rope and slowly checks to make sure all his gear is working properly.
'Once we think we're all set with the system, we take off the personal anchor, hook it on there his , and begin to lower ourselves by repelling.'
He said that repelling down the cliffside is often the 'most fun' part of the climb.
