Thanks for this thread, tree. Sent me down a rabbit hole that led me to a Jimmy Chin doc called Meru, which in turn made me want to pick up the phone and talk to my brother-in-law about climbing. He’s taking me to a rock gym next week. :thumbsup:

You watch Meru? Good soundtrack, including some Into The Wild tracks.

You're welcome. I posted it cause I couldn't stop watching these videos. I had to stop because I started watching videos of people actually falling... and dying...

That's cool.. just don't get hooked on the thrill. It can rewire your brain so that it's the only thing that thrills you anymore and next thing you know you're dead.

What other free soloings are there? I know there's at least free soiling where people walk wires or ropes or whatever . What else?

I think I read about buildering, which is like bouldering but with buildings. Honnold has done some of that.

I mean, maybe.

It seems like the sheer verticality of a building coupled with the fragility of a window (even doubled paned) would make finding a route way less obvious.

Tree, have you watched Valley Uprising on Netflix?

There’s a definite parallel between generations of RMers and the different factions and waves of Yosemite climbers over the decades.

Everyone knows I’ve always been the biggest tree fan on the board, so that sounds about right.

So I’m going for a climbing session with my BiL Friday morning. Gotta channel my inner Honnold pretty quick.
