[@noneedtowhine]

Man, be safe and keep focus on every (!) move. Develop your deep inside focus and patience. Also, seems like you are always boosting speed in the end of the route, maybe you should think about it and control your desire to finish. We all understand what a great inspiration is Alex Honnold and other unique climbers, but his is so damn accurate and he is always moving with a stable speed and every move focus. Maybe you wanted to finish faster because of the wind and cold, but still, the cost of any possible mistake is critical. Good luck.

@@Gjudxdkjyzddhjnr7091 this guy doesn’t seem to have enough real mountain experience and he’s not even so skilled as a climber. Yes, I think he has much to learn.

[@Tatuks]

@@iosonoleggendo correct me if I'm wrong but it feels like one should be pretty confident with the route and moves before going for a free solo. In several places he was feeling around trying to find the right moves and how to advance. Like grabbing a hold, then bailing on that, grabbing another hold, then bailing on that too, then going back to the original hold before using a third one to actually do the move.

[@andrazegart]

You ever heard of fog? You know, when it's a perfectly sunny day, and fog rises from the valley... Well spoiler alert... it can't rain from fog. And guess what. Weather forecast also exists, where you can actually see if it will rain or not. And don't you think I checked the weather at least 10 times in the upcoming days before the climb? The route was levels below my max. My max is 7c, this route was a V+. I've climbed hundreds of long trad/alpine routes, and this free solo was safer than any kind of climbing in loose rock with a rope. But all you think is "rope means security"... Which in fact is sometimes the opposite.

[@alice4me]

Maaaaaaaaaaan, it was so dangerous, but you stayed so calm throughout the climb. Respect!

5:33 - 'It's so much safer' - NO! It isn't safe! Scares me to death just to watch this. SUCH confidence to attempt something like this. Amazing. I think it would work better using a 360 camera though, so the view remains steady.

[@thomasbahr2806]

Very nice slab climbing and a nice video with good commentary. But I would hope that you please stop doing this, free solo is just long term a recipe for disaster. In our twenties we tend to believe that we are immortal (i was like that too, did some 50 degrees blank ice with 1000 m fall behind me). But when you see the first broken body at the foot of a wall, you quickly realize that even small risks will eventually realize to a bitter reality. It just needs a little slip, a breaking hold, an attacking bird or bad weather development and thats it.

[@andrazegart]

Thank you, and yes you are right. I mean you can eliminate most of the risk with good preparation, but there is always a risk, and the more you do it, the bigger the chance of disaster is. That’s why I only free solo a couple times a year, and only routes that really inspire me.

[@baron47471]

why do you care about what someone else does with their life?

[@baron47471]

@@controlledbypaintball2308 huh? that doesn’t even make sense. people can do what they want in life. telling someone to not free solo is because they don’t like it is disgusting

[@FooDawg]

Next you're going to tell hikers to stop hiking because more people fall and die hiking than they ever do freesoloing. How many people fall off the rim of the grand canyon, or off mt baldy in Los Angeles, or off the waterfalls in Yosemite, then you ever hear about people dying from freesoloing? Yeah it happens, but if homie feels like he has mitigated the risks, and feels comfortable downclimbing if it gets sketchy, then who are you to try and convince him otherwise. He isn't stupid, he understands the risks, so you don't need to lecture him about "broken bodies at the base of a cliff", etc. That's just hyperbole and fear mongering to try and exert your own personal feelings on someone else. Be happy for his accomplishment (especially since you claim to have been a freesoloist in the past) and leave it at that...

You said “it’s just part of the game” and I know you were just using a common expression, but free soloing isn’t a game. I grew up in California and began climbing as a teenager in the 80s and watched my Yosemite heroes doing bold things including John Bachar, who I met once. He and others like him are now dead. If you can stop yourself from free soloing, please do that: stop. Climb hard, with protection, and live a long climbing life!
