only who has done free soloing really knows what free soloing is, and it is surely not about adrenaline, it is all about a very focused and controlled mindset, you really have to focus on the next move you have to do, if you start to think to the void you have under it and at the consequences of an error fear kicks in, and then it is really hard to redirect your mind to the here and now, excluding from it the "what if" and the "why i begun this" things that can only paralyze you. Free soloing is one of the highest forms of meditation, of control over your mind, as you put yourself in a situation where you don't have any other alternative and no easy way out, it has nothing to do with athleticism or adrenaline, even if training, self confidence and a certain level of skill are surely needed. The fun and often overlooked part of it is that what really matters is not the absolute difficulty of what you are doing, is the difficulty relative to the maximum level of difficulty you are able to climb. If you are able to climb 6c and free solo a 6b is the very same thing that if you are able to climb a 7c and you free solo a 7b. Also how high is the wall you are climbing is not so important, if not for the fact that you have to be so focused for so much longer, thing that requires a stronger and better trained mind, as well of more stamina to don't run out of energy, but if you fall from 50m or 500m the outcome is exactly the same, it is not that you die only one time instead of 10 times.

I watched Free Solo last night. Alex Honnold made a guest appearance in person and did a short Q&A. It was an amazing and certainly awe inspiring film. The one thing I remember from the movie was a line he said about if you truly want perfection, free soloing is as close as your gonna get because anything other than perfection means death.

I can see how this feeling is special to climbers though. You feel like the whole world around you disappears as your mind is fixed on every critical move. In a strange way it's kind of peaceful.

Why is that? Well, it would completely discredit their documentaries of profound Ego. What took them months to plan and section climb while falling over and over again, and days to execute in entirety while hooked up to ropes and biners, Alex did FREE SOLO in the matter of hours. I don't know if he so much as skipped a generation as he's the catalyst for a new one; A 'Sean White' scenario where the self proclaimed dreamers of today are silenced by the feats of more daring women and men.

I am a thrill seeker, but I would never attempt to climb without a rope. I know my internal fear would get the best of me. I would get so stressed that I would fall.

"He didn't work that route 100 times. He just got up below it, looked up it and believed, absolutely believed, it was well within his ability." - one of the most dangerous quotes I have ever heard. Sure, Honnold probably didn't work the route 100 times, but this certainly was not his first time up it. Any climber who takes on a high-risk route, or even a high-risk boulder problem, takes one of two approaches: rehearse until there is no doubt that the climb can be executed perfectly with no margin of error, or climb cautiously evaluating risk in real time and always keeping open an escape plan, never climbing up a section that could not be down-climbed, bailing before ever becoming too committed.Yes, there is a grey area there and that is why most soloists die soloing or pursuing similar risky activities. But no climber with any shred of sanity would ever take something like this lightly. I fear that this quote is misleading and gives the impression that anyone can walk up to a cliff and go for it if they think they are hot stuff. Alex Honnold knows what he is doing and the risks he takes (to some extent...). Imitators might not.

this kids crazy god bless him!!!!

It is thrilling to watch him climb.
