@@jakechamberlain2206 Idk I feel similar to the Navy SEAL guy here. I haven't wingsuited but I'm a skydiver and I'm getting into BASE jumping. Not sure if I'll get into wingsuiting considering how dangerous and tricky it is but if I had to choose between that and free soloing I would much rather choose wingsuiting. You still have margins for error there even if they're small, but in free solo you have literally no margins for error. One tiny mistake and you're dead. Much more scary. Also feels like a more terrifying way to die to fall off a cliff than to crash into it. If you die wingsuiting you won't have time to think, but I bet a lot goes through your mind falling from a cliff.

In my opinion that is the greatest physical achievement by any human in the world.

Not even remotely close to the greatest physical achievement ever. Several thousands of people have climbed El Cap, but only 1 person was willing to take the risk of not using a rope. One of the greatest mental achievments in climbing? Sure, but by no means is it unique in physical challenge. Adam Ondra did way more insane climbs that make El Cap look like a jungle gym for kids.

Alex Honnold's El Capitan climb is the most impressive athletic achievement in the history of humankind. That's arguable, but consider that no one has ever done it, and no one in our lifetimes will likely do it. Factor in the risk of imminent death at every moment and it supersedes a whole lot of other accomplishments. Skill, endurance, mental toughness. Staggering.

I wouldn't say it's the most impressive athletic achievement. There is a lot of guys who have skills to do that but they won't because it's not worth the risk. From athletic point of view, Adam Ondra is way better climber who climbed much more difficult routes which no one can climb. Don't get me wrong, it's fucking insane what he did but it's mostly about the mental toughness. I guess it comes to how you define "athletic achievement".

climbing is just life. either you quit and die when it gets hard or you continue. ...its easy if youre fit. and if youre fat you will die soon. ..... lets try this a different way for the pea brains.

@gustafsone5 жыл бұрын
@@friendly1870 That's the hard part when you're one of the guys like Alex. You don't know when to actually stop. He's 34 now so he's got a few more relatively good years left but eventually, no matter how good of shape you try to keep yourself in when you get older, your body just can't handle the stuff he does anymore. I vaguely remember his girlfriend in the "Free Solo" documentary mention something along those lines to him after he had a pretty bad injury. Once he recovered from it, even Alex himself acknowledged that he wasn't the same anymore. That's just the way the human body works and why lots of professional athletes have to hang up their jersey after a really bad injury. As much as I like the guy, he's going to end up killing himself if he keeps doing what he's doing. At some point, his body just won't be able to handle the stress anymore and he's going to attempt something he has done a hundred times before when he was a bit younger, and he won't quite make it and then that will be it. I just hope Alex can take a hint from some of the other world-class climbers he has met who are still alive in their older age, that there is nothing wrong with taking it easier on yourself once you have accomplished your goals. I hope he can find enjoyment in climbing with ropes and staying relatively safe. There will always be a younger guy willing to do what it takes to break whatever records you have set, and you just have to accept that and be happy for them. Otherwise you're going to be in your 40's trying to free climb the same wall you did 10-15 years prior and your body will just say "fuck you" when you're half way up.

“If one pops and then another one pops (…)” exactly what happened to a climbing mate of mine. He fell down to the ground from a good 10 meter (~33 feet) straight on his back. He broke his back and passed out as his mate was phoning the emergency number. They were fairly remote so it even took a while to get him out of there. This is exactly why I don’t feel comfortable trad climbing anymore, although I totally understand the beauty of it.

This is why I appreciate Andy Stumpf. Navy SEAL DEVGRU (aka SEAL team 6) guy who casually references “when I was on the East Coast team” with “the latest gear…taking off the wrappers” on a rock climb - where in The Teams he was a lead climber, yet has the humility to appreciate the otherworldly talents of Honnold, and yes, the Marlboro guy doing next-level free solo stuff. And at the end, you get an appreciation of the different perspectives/talents/risks of these endeavors. General paraphrase - “I would never climb 1000 feet without a rope, but would have no problem jumping off the top with a wing suit.” Different strokes. And much respect.

The mental toughness to free solo El Cap is totally different, though, because you're holding composure in the face of imminent death at every single moment. Gathering the composure to even embark on that is monumental in itself. If you can't complete the two hour marathon, well, you can always try again. You don't complete your climb, every move totally perfect, you're dead. That's what puts it on another level for me.
