The Dark Art Of Rope Solo

[@evtyler]

Climbing + drone video = SPECTACULAR!!! Now the paragliding once you get to the top is new (to me) but quite possibly the best combination of sports ever!

[@lnopia]

I was not ready for that ending. Gad damn

[@robinstruebig2702]

Never read the description then at 0:19 "I think I know that voice", 1:55 "I think I also know that van" and finally at 2:23 "Jesus he sold me a pair of climbing shoes gave me the occasional free brownie + climbing tips and I've never noticed he's famous!" Can't wait for the climbing center to be back open!

😂😂 Not long now, can't wait to get back too!!

Beautiful film. I’ve been studying solo climbing for months now. I’m only beginning to refine a top rope system and I’m only beginning to understand lead. It highlighted his lifestyle greatly and the flying at the end was the coolest way to end a multi pitch

[@Mrperson662]

this is a super humble dude! what an animal

[@noiseforthealgorithm4668]

truly inspirational. please more videos of solo rope climbing!

[@ujjc001]

I think that flight looked wayyyyy more fun that the solo climb :)

[@TheMuro22]

Well, I'm pretty sure he had fun on both, climbing is less dynamic but more stressing

[@willismorris25]

They're a pretty different buzz but the flying is always a highlight 😉

This whole setup just made the bucket list. Great vid.

[@selfactualizer2099]

Now do free solo. No rope.

[@idkgg9588]

@@selfactualizer2099 Rope soloing can be more dangerous than actual free soloing

[@HochstartHarry]

Dude ❤ what an inspiration, tried paragliding once and love climbing. Not so into rope solo but the climb n‘ fly combo is genius

[@tobiasniederegger8592]

That ending tho. Cracked out of your mind mate!

[@mw5360]

Wow what a badass that guy was. Seriously cool.

[@bazcardinal1176]

That was so awesome! Climb and fly.

This dudes my new hero 🦸‍♂️

[@djsdownhill2010]

You forgot the ones like me that like the solitude and sense of accomplishment rope solo climbing brings. I know I’m far from lonely or loose!😂

[@xHumanFacex]

Don't worry, no one is judging you.

[@C41NUS]

All that stoke at the end gave me chills. Fuck yes.

[@brookesy348]

I was going to ask how they get down with all their equipment doing this, crazy impressive!

[@fletcher2543]

Man, you are the best!

[@sumeetpunjabi3840]

wow ! wish i could go wid u brother ! stay safe ! god bless - gr8 video

[@allaprima]

The risks are worth taking, but you gotta be sensible, you don’t want to steal tomorrow’s fun. Well put, sir.

[@richardblackhound1246]

What is that vehicle he uses to travel around the Alpa in. Looks pretty cool.

[@rc5981]

How does a guy this cool have no friends?

[@willismorris25]

😂😂

[@colbjallen8334]

Insane flight and I was curious on what gear he uses to protect himself

[@lonelyfish642]

Anyone know where that valley is / what it's called at 03:52?

[@willismorris25]

I was in the venosc valley in the encrins

[@ricklatimer6121]

You reach this status when you end completely obsessed with climbing and you do not have a partner. And later, you start to fly on your own.

[@willismorris25]

I'd say I reached this point after dedicating many years to learning as many disciplines of climbing as I could. The flying is just an extension of having fun in the mountains

[@cameronspameron]

This made my day. I'm going to do all of this!! Where is it shot exactly?

[@vomoosh]

go on Willis

[@ananda_miaoyin]

I will do the climb but the wing might be a bit much.

[@truthdefenders-]

Awesome!

[@mr_wrx.4616]

I have a feeling this guy isn’t afraid of heights,,,

[@goodandevil2000]

What gear was he using to belay himself?

[@natetronn]

Hard to see well enough to tell, but kind of looked like a GriGri.

[@willismorris25]

@@natetronn I used a original grigri 1, simple but effective 👌

[@raulslorencis158]

Great!😃👍

[@Remi-B-Goode]

Incroyables images! merci du partage! c'est inédit car une caméra sur le casque cela n'aurait pas existé il ya 20 ans (même 10 ans?) !

[@willismorris25]

oui, nous n'avons filmé que l'année dernière.

[@jacquesberenger4883]

Once you reach the top of the pitch and build your anchor. What is the preferable technique for setting a static line, rappelling to clean, and jumaring back up? Also what belay device is he using?

[@jackmurphy71]

late but pete whittaker made a video yesterday explaining rope solo and how to clean on wide boyz

[@coopermojo3839]

what the climb called looks so fun

[@spaceshipdms]

The end of the video wasn't loud enough

[@hoermzz3097]

I wouldn't mind having no friends with a hobby like that .

[@velhojogador]

Nice

[@heisannpotet3013]

what a great fucking video

[@Furansowakun]

This guy seems rather active type

[@stefanotononi3930]

Sadness at its top.

[@zktube]

Dark art? Oh kmon! Its just a guy wanting to climb alone like I do. Terrible title

[@Frivia]

why are these vids so short? we barely get to see any climbing. I hope yall get the hint with how low your ratings that people wanna see CLIMBING, and more than five minutes of it.

[@willismorris25]

Perhaps we can try and do a more in depth one soon for you all 💪

[@KaleidoscopeNo5401]

flying down is aid

[@EpicTV]

😂

[@filda2005]

what is a longevity of this type of guy? 2 seasons? 5 seasons?

[@AddisyB]

Fuckin sick

[@drqazlop]

That got less about climbing fast, but cool

[@billjensen51]

I am lonely and have no friends so now I guess this is my only option.

So jealous of people who do this

[@Sicnus]

Sorry ETV, I want to downvote it... but I won't. But leaving a comment as such. I thought you were going to go all into "The Dark Arts" of Rope Soloing but it was... maybe 30seconds of him rope soloing and the rest about his lifestyle and paragliding? :/

[@Sicnus]

Rewatched this again, and came to leave the comment I'd already left. *SMH* Old people! Still loved the video!

[@susanjane4784]

I know next to zero about this but I don't see any real difference between this and base jumping. The danger level is as high as the death rate. Sure, people can drive cars over 200mph, too. But those cars can't have camera crews waiting for that deadly error. Having watched this I'm surprised this guy bothers with ropes.

[@IshanHM12]

Are you saying he has a death wish? Because if you are you clearly didn’t understand that part of the video

[@jamescook001]

Ropes are just for the video, he usually doesn't use them or climbing shoes as he's better suited with his hooves to the rock face. It's how he rolls...

[@selfactualizer2099]

"The dark art of rope solo" K did you forget free solo? Cmon calm down you got safety gear
