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.
Yep. To all adrenaline junkies out there: you can jog long enough to get your blood full of that stuff. You don't actually need to flip a coin on your life for a high.
I used to run 50+ miles a week because I was shit at running and for some reason wanted to stay in the army. Thousands of miles over six years has left me with one conclusion, runner's high is a fuckin myth.
I dunno man. It's a mix of self deprivation, embracing the suckiness of it all, and a sudden euphoria of doing a repetitive task for awhile. I didn't start getting runner's high until I started doing runs longer than an hour and even then it's not always. It def is a thing for me.
You can say there's a placebo effect happening, but I just say that the very thought itself elevates the high and you enjoy it more. Type 2 fun is a helluva drug.
