I could never bring myself to attempt that. Craziest climb I did was free solo of Old Baldy in Kimberley Ontario Canada. Was working in town, middle of nowhere, I'm a city guy, I was so bored I just went for it, real easy holds, no real insane pitches, you can pretty well eyeball the route I took I'm not sure if it's named or if any are truthfully, was an illegal climb I found out later, not sure why? Any way, I knew I was walking down from the top, and I hit one spot starting a pitch 2 3rds of the way up the route where I had to jump for a hold, good hold, but knowing I couldn't climb down, and I was alone and nobody was there, it was nervy, I had to I think for the first real time in my life, relax and truly compose myself. That was 2010. And the mountain is open and has been dominated by a great many climbers, I'd love to go back and see if my route has a name, I'll harness up and speed through it and name it if I can. "Bored to Death" is what I would name it lol

Nicely said. These yahoos are hooping and hollering when they make it but when one falls and breaks his neck, then the tears flow. They don't get that it's not if but when they fall. Just a matter of odds. The mountain can afford to win and lose the climbs but the climbers have to be flawless every time. I took probability and like the casino, the house always wins.

Derbyshire gritstone is where I learned to climb. It's rougher than granite but hell on the finger ends, but I loved it. Move a little further south and you're on slippery-when-wet limestone, which I hated. I say "loved" and "hated" in the past tense because I'm 79 and fell off a ladder at home last year (when I was only 78) because I think I lost my balance and sustained a broken back, fortunately with no serious long-term consequences. There comes a time when you have to admit defeat.

yea i wouldnt risk climbing without a rope unless i felt confident. After a while of highballing you realize that on certain difficulty you just never fall so its only a head-game and not really dangerous. Yet that said everybody can make a mistake and fall and die. Most people that free solo enough do die doing it. I feel like high balling is enough for me right now but I do see the appeal of free soloing

Whilst I applaud their bravery (the free-climbers), I also ask myself, why? A climber using a rope still has a risk of falling as far as his/her last belay point, a free climber has zero room for error. I think of the families of such climbers and what they have to go through every single time a climb starts.

You're referring to free soloing, not free climbing. Free climbing is when you use a rope only for protection (in case of falling). Free soloing is basically free climbing without a rope.

No bolts, but a rope. One pebble popping out, or a smear slipping, and you will be hurt or worse.

I love climbing/moving horizontally even on some kind of tough stuff, but just can not bring myself to go up more than a few feet. It's just not in me to do that, but I do enjoy watching skilled climbers do it.

One of the great things about rock climbing is that you can challenge yourself with really terrifying things, but not actually be in that much danger. Not compared to skiing or riding a motorcycle, etc. On the other hand, highball bouldering right at your ability level is something you may get away with, but is not sustainable. One measure of control is whether you can reverse the moves and downclimb, or are committed. The gritstone climbing tradition, as I understand it, is all about downclimbing and soloing. It's a different kind of training than most people do.

These climbers aren’t terrified though.... they’re nervous, but they were all extremely comfortable in their ability to do the climb before they did it solo. They also did the necessary prep work beforehand. Mad respect ✊

The hundreds of people that have died free soloing were also extremely comfortable in their ability. Stop rationalising taking ridiculous and unnecessary risks. One slip and you're DEAD.

It's pure ego and showing how "badass" you are and wanting to one-up other people for attention and fame, so you can be special.

All these people complaining in the comments.

After watching all the free solo climbs, I guess you really feel alive the most when you're closest to death.

You don't even have to climb something crazy to get that feeling. Climb 20-30 feet without protection and you'll get that feeling. A fall is a fall at that point the only thing that changes is how long until you hit the ground.

I've been close to death a few times- sepsis, meningitis, car jacking. I relatively close to death now- all my illnesses kicked off an autoimmune disease that has resulted in concrete-like blockages several inches long to develop in my large arteries. One of these days, and it won't belong, a stroke or heart attack is gonna solve all my problems. At 44, not knowing if I'll see 45, I have an appreciation for life, and I feel that life is being taken for granted when people choose this kind of ridiculously risky thing as a sport or hobby. When your time is up, all the money in the world won't buy you a second. We all have people who love us and would be devastated. Why put one's self and loved ones in this position?

These folks have trained and are good, but the power of their minds and their will to succeed got them up and over safely. Cheers to them!!

Mind blowing fearlessness. Although I thought free soloing meant completely untethered

Me too. Alex Honnold was untethered when he completed El Capitan, a staggering achievement. When you see how hard this small climb is for these guys you really can’t imagine how Alex did it.

Lol when the second guy finished his free solo and then celebrated he ran and I thought he was gonna jump off in excitement lmao.

I climb towers for a living and I can say sometimes you really do have to just do it and not think too hard. Mad respect for these legends though, most towers are built to be climbed, these rocks aren’t!

I love the cell work us lineman occasionally get. I hate doing the small distribution stuff(luckily I've managed to not do much & can pick & choose the work I do now), but get me on steel and I just love working at heights. Nowadays I only do it during the 5-6 months that I'm not offshore fishing but still love it. Climbing old creosote soaked poles, not so much. Stay safe 🤙🏼

RFXCasey You don't have to drive a car. You could use other means of transportation. You could live somewhere else or work somewhere else. And who are you to tell people what and what not to do? So, I guess playing football is stupid, cause the amount of brain injuries and permanent injuries sustained in that sport are insane. Way(!!!) higher than climbing. Climbing is incredibly safe. So people are not allowed to do anything that might be dangerous? Boy what a boring life you must lead... They don't endanger anybody else. It's his own life. He can do with it as he pleases. It's called the right of self-determination

I am not a climber, but I used to go climbing without ropes during a period of my life when I was isolated and depressed. I once made it to a spot where going up was very difficult (for me) and climbing down was impossible (for me). Falling would most probably result on a fatal end and I panicked. It was a kind of fear I had never experienced, pure panic. Then a thought struck me: "It has come to this. All I can do is climb. I make it or I don't, but I need to climb". When I got to a safe point I laughed aloud nerviously and screamed like crazy, I even felt like I wanted to have sex right there for whatever reason. It was such a unique experience, but I never climbed again after that.

@@jrtrading3306 If you are confused about me wanting to have sex, that confused me as well haha If it's about me not wanting to climb again, I felt like I had crossed a line, I put my life at risk and I decided that it was enough. You need to understand I was climbing because I was depressed not because of a passion for climbing. In climbing I found a way to zone out, to escape from my mind and my issues, but that day I took it too far and so I stopped.

Years ago I read an interview with bass player Marcus Miller. He said most pro musicians play because they have to not just because they want to. I'm thankful I don't " have" to climb.

I've tried this. It is something special. It's like I was way stronger than normal because I had to be? Ethereal experience.

anyone notice the cameraman‘s superior skill??

Man?

okay, what is the point of having a rope secured just at the start of your climb? I know that it is a free solo, but why the rope? Is it to recover your body?

@LL-wu5ui

3 жыл бұрын

Um as far as I know, free solo is supposed to be without any ropes... like at all. I don't get it honestly.

two options... set top rope at the top by walking up the other side or if that's not possible get crash pads and set them next to the belay so the initial fall won't break your legs lol

Very glad he made it.

That's a 0a-. I can do it, with no rope. Hold my beer...

On Lucinda's "lead" climb, what exactly was the point of her rope? To keep her from bouncing down the hill if she comes off? #soloingwitharope
