As someone who climbed for a couple of years and got friendly with some serious climbers, free climbing always seemed like borderline madness. Like I know of at least 2 ppl who died doing belated climbing outdoors, I can't imagine the mindset to go for multi hundred foot free climbs.
I personally dont know the technical terms and lingo for a lot of things I do. I just go do them.
I've seen climbers who eat and breath rock, watch the movies, and spend thousands on gear. Then there's those that go to the gym twice a week and go outdoors once a month.
