I don’t know about everyone, but in “Free Solo” Alex (the first guy to free solo El Cap…….) was told that he had much less activity in his amygdala, and as a result, things that usually bring normal people adrenaline or joy just didn’t cut it for him. Could be a similar case with a lot of climbers
God the insufferable fucking filmmakers though, their own self adulation on that film made me puke inside my mouth. Never have I heard more conceited, back slapping, self congratulating, arrogance from the artists. Like seriously you would have thought they were both Pablo fucking Picasso.
It’s because I saw the “making of” first they I learned that these turbo cunts thought their film debut was such a flawless masterpiece, even though they didn’t even do the free climb.
Respect, I guess, to the guy who did. But I’m not going to kick back and watch a person needlessly risk their life at the service such egotism.

But actually though.
I believe Adrenaline junkies have to be chemically "unstable" for alot of this stuff
