Tall people have an advantage m8. We can reach further to solve problems more easily. Granted, 210 lbs makes it harder.
In all these "why aren't u doing thing???" threads, I always get the impression that not even OP does whatever it is.
It seems like an insecure and dishonest way to coax his self into doing it or not doing it.
Holy shit you're the smartest person on the entire site.
I'm not gay.
What kind of retard free climbs?
Seriously, help me understand this stupidity
Because everyone who does rock climbing is always a hippie vegan faggot who only talk about being vegan and rock climbing
I want to be a pretty corpse so the people at the morgue can be mirin and not some wet mush of bones and blood.
People do it to live at the edge of the human experience. If you can't understand what this means, you must be far from it lol.
I get the same feeling by speedballing crack and heroin.
Probably have a lot more fun than you fags too
stopped retaining his semen
Don't have to do free climbing like this cunt. Climbing is not that dangerous if you do it like normal people.
Woke
It's a hassle to go out to a real rock and climb it with expensive equipment, and climbing walls suck
A short lived retard, that's who.
Similarly, everyone who lifts frauds.
Alex's girlfriend is a gold digging selfish cunt. Fuck her
>this fucking movie
My palms were fucking sweating the whole way through this movie man. I keep forgetting about how goddamn fucking crazy it is that he scaled a 3000ft fucking vertical cliff with no ropes or anything. I'll be sitting here minding my own business, think back to that and be like WAIT this FUCKER just started climbing up without a rope like who even cares if he had a bunch of practice on it that is fucking crazy cunt.
FUCK. Also that man's Iris' are giant.
>Less than 100 vertical feet a minute
>Doesn't jump
Weak OP. Check this.
He ironically died falling while roped up too.
you don't need equipment to free solo, that's the point
Correction: a lot of boulderers who got into the sport recently and have a white girlfriend with dreadlocks talk about fucking vegan shit all the time.
Most outdoor climbers are pretty chilled out.
>Dan Osman died falling off a cliff
Shocking.
Anyone got the vid where he climbs the waterfall with ice climbing axes... in the summer... with no ice...
Good luck in a freak earthquake free solo user.
Alex Honnold's brain is different from a normal one. His amygdala isn't firing, so it's not a big deal for him. Also it may be hard for non-climbers to grasp but what he free solos is way under his (or a pro's) level difficulty-wise. Just like a guy doing a handstand on a cliff or bridge-railing. If you do it it may be dangerous but for someone, who does it in his sleep, because it's piss-easy, it is the same as standing near a cliff.
That's the point. I've been climbing 16 years now (31yr boomer). The best part is driving your truck or Jeep 16 miles up some God forsaken half road half dirt trail, loading up a heavy pack, and taking off for 3-30 miles with a buddy or five. You hike all day, get so tired the rice and dehydrated beans you brought tastes fucking amazing, and the deer jerky you have is like ambrosia.
You go to sleep as soon as the sun sets and wake up as it rises. You climb all day and get great views.
That's the best part. Climbing hard is cool I guess, but the best routes are nice easy alpine routes that get you thosands of feet in a day.
Goddamn I haven’t been out to the crag in too long. Comfy feels.
Living the boomer dream
Truly am. Grew up in Western Mass, which is comfy New England and great in its own right (Adirondacks might have the best climbing in the country), but I moved to Colorado and then Wyoming and haven't looked back. Best part of the country (although Montana around Glacier is fucking awesome too)
Yeah, nah, I do climb. And I get that you can flash routes that are well under your max grade.
But there's a reason why every free solo-er ends up cratering. Honnold hasn't... Yet.
But it is merely a matter of time.
I just wish it weren't so expensive to start, no real way to afford even the basic equipment as a student. Maybe second-hand stuff but eh.
i would like to climb but i live in london and i'm not sure how i would even get started. I would probably never free climb though.
Are you implying that london doesnt have climbing gyms? Because ive got some news for you buddy
Harness, rope, and shoes are like $200, maybe a bit more. All you need is some webbing and a few beaners to set up top ropes on bolts. Of course you also need crags near you.
Webbing around 3 good trees works fine too.
Shit makes me fucking sweat just looking at it. I did climb at a huge indoor gym for awhile but that is super safe.
this scares the freeclimber
Because I want to have jacked legs.
Exactly, if he's lucky he'll have a near Miss and quit, otherwise he is on borrowed time.
Haven't been climbing in a year and a half due to a slew of medical issues. Won't be at least another 6 months until i can climb again. Can't out climb this feel.
Based, only onions boys climb
