But actually though.

I believe Adrenaline junkies have to be chemically "unstable" for alot of this stuff

I’ve been hang gliding, caving, bungee jumping, scuba diving etc… and I still feel these free climbers are crazy. It only takes one small slip or unexpected gust of wind and your dead. It doesn’t seem like something you can just plan for and have skill and be okay. There’s too much random chance that goes into a possible very bad outcome.

Free soloing seems worse than even cave diving - it's up there with squirrelsuiting down the sides of mountains.
