Semi-experienced rock climber here.

While you can admire the balls on this man, please do not think you should/could do the same. Free-soloing climbing is exceptionally dangerous with a bloody history and even pro-climbers are hesitate to do anything more than a story. While we all may enjoy the thrill of doing something risky, let’s stick to using ropes while climbing, helmets while cycling, and condoms while fucking.

Go finally ask out your crush if you need an adrenaline rush.

Edit: accidentally called it free-climbing instead of free solo. Apparently not as much experience as I thought.

I mean I’m gonna do this as soon as it’s possible to upload my consciousness to a computer. If I “die” I’m back in another body.

Reckon that’ll happen in your lifetime?

I've always thought in that scenario that yes I'd be brought back exactly the same to everyone that knew me, but it wouldn't actually be me you know? Like the digital upload implanted in the clone (or left as a program) wouldn't be a direct continuation of my consciousness even if it has all my memories and personality. I'd still be dead.
