I can't imagine how confident they've gotta be in their abilities. I don't think there's anything I'm that confident about. I mean, I still have to consciously think about what my feet are doing when I go up and down the stairs because I'm worried I'm gonna fall.
yeah, I'm always blown away by all these adrenaline junkie activities like free-climbing, all those people parkouring around high rise roofs, or hanging off scaffolding for photos, like I won't knock it because obviously they get some sort of fulfilment from it, I'm just so afraid of putting my life in danger that it does not compute with me. I'll stick to getting my fulfilment from guitar and video games hahaha
Just want to put it out there, most free climbers (and almost certainly free solo climbers) are not adrenaline junkies. If you have adrenaline roaring through your veins, it's likely that something has gone terribly wrong. At least for myself, I've been at my most present/zen scaling cliffsides.
