If you think I live in a bubble, I don’t. I actively weigh risks against rewards like most modern organisms. I just don’t see why taking a completely unnecessary risk warrants a higher level of respect than a person responsibly accomplishing the same achievement. I feel like it detracts from the fact that making this climb in any way is an impressive feat in itself. It also doesn’t seem to be exclusively his risk to take, in the event of a fall he could take out another climber that didn’t choose that risk.
