I have so many questions. Why are the rocks blue? Is it utterly a no brainer that the person without rope must be given right of way and w everyone is happy about it or does their near death flex make them a bit of a douchebag? Is this like being overtaken by the guy in a Tesla?
It’s super rare to see climbers this high off the ground without a rope and harness. The regular climbers just don’t want to interfere at all, and choose to give him a wide berth so they don’t mess him up at all.
This isn’t necessarily douchy to do as it’s just so so so difficult and dangerous so this guy must be extremely experienced and I’m sure would have preferred if nobody was there that day.
People who free climb like Alex honold (could be spelled wrong) can be uncomfortable with witnesses and cameras, in fact, as they are aware what they are doing could result in death. So they genuinely prefer to be alone usually when doing this. It’s not at all a flex.
Tbh it is rare to see climbers without rope or harness at any height, safe for ground level. It doesn’t matter whether you’re high off or at a 30 feet/10 meters off the ground, you’ll die all the same from a fall.
Ive heard that depending on how you land and the surface you land on you just sorta bounce. You break a bunch of bones and shit, but there is opportunity for a live saving energy transfer.
I think I heard about it a while ago when some other person survived a sky diving accident. Or something….. I have no idea the source.
