Free Soloing

[washing machine]

I almost sent you a photo of some meat this weekend.

"almost" describes my life perfectly.

any good bread as of late?

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

Hey I'm raising a toddler over here. And RMing while trying to pick keepers for Pete's fantasy baseball league.

alex convinces a guy to try free soloing an "easy" route

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

Zero feet. I lied about climbing. I'm pretty scared of heights.

i love this post so much.

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.

He's going to and then all of his community will gush about how he died doing what he loved and thats just how it goes while he leaves behind a wife and a kid.

I really can't wrap my mind around it. Just use a rope you idiot!

not as thrilling

it truly is a drug for alex and i bet he does die on a rock eventually.. i just hope he doesn't kill someone he peer pressures into free soloing like this poor fool Magnus Midtbo first

lots of people die doing what they love.

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

If you love it so much then live to do it another day.

The end.

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

[dad]

sure, but what if you really love those things?

then you're an idiot

darwin awards and stuff

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