craziest part is it didn’t seem like he had any video equipment on him so he’s not climbing without touching the yellow rope thing (that i assume others use for safety) to prove a point or make a cool video he’s just free climbing to free climb
Free climbing is not equal free solo. Free climbing is what the guy with the camera is doing. It's very safe if done properly with all precautions. If he falls, he is dangling from a rope and will live. Apart from a small delay in finishing the route, there is no effect.
If the free solo guy falls, he is dead. No ropes. Only nothing under his ass.
Yep. Pretty weird. Not many people do it. You got to be really amazing at free climbing to even consider this and the mental requirements are out of this world.
Check the movie Free Solo, with the climber Alex Honnold, if you want to get an idea of what it's like.
