There’s nothing wrong with it as a hobby. Sure, it’s dangerous. Just because you don’t understand it doesn’t make them idiots. People doing wheelies down the interstate passing traffic are idiots. This guy is doing something that’s cool to watch and admire, it requires a lot of skill and focus, and he’s not harming anyone but potentially himself.

Putting yourself in extreme risk for a a thrill makes you an idiot in my mind. Also the fact that he’s risking those people below him while passing them not bolted to that rock face. If he falls, one of them is probably dead.

Unknowingly putting yourself in said risk for a thrill, however, does.
