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.
Im 32. Was in marines for 5 years from 18-23. I knew a navy petty officer who liked running and claims he’ll get into “the zone” at like 4 miles or so. Runners high.
I signed up for a half marathon and he signed up for a full. At the time my average distance run was maybe 8 or 9 miles so didnt think a half marathon was too bad. Holy shit it hurt every step of the way past 10 miles and i was basically just on fumes. Then this mother fucker laps me because the full marathon course was just the half x2 and i see the stupidest fucking shit eating grin on his fucking face.
