Some pursuits are best left in the wake of lockdown times, where the proper attention could be given.

How far up do you think you could make it on Freeblast Slab?

Damn. "most of my climbing partners are either dead or retired"

I hope this guy doesn't ever die on a climb, but he's been pushing himself lately. I've watched a few recent climbs of his.

lots of people die doing what they love.

Dale Earnhardt, Owen Hart, and Jeffrey Epstein just to name a few.

yes but it's not like you can't climb with a rope and still get virtually the same experience. the only factor they're adding is maximum (unnecessary) risk. It's like playing football without a helmet and only using your head to tackle, or masturbating your genitals while driving 100mph without a seatbelt ... yeah, you might be a great driver and masturbatour, but... why?! These people are just plain sick. no way around it

Setting up a tent to sleep in more than 1,000ft up the side of a rock face looks exciting and terrifying.
