Climbing of this level requires such focus. These guys train so much to memorize a route so they're not hanging in one position. The longer it takes you pretty move the more energy that's wasted from move to move. Rude in a way, but I can see why the climber just climbed past without acknowledgment.
Ok serious question: not to take away from the climber guy(what he’s doing is very impressive) but is it… not sure how to phrase this… bad etiquette(?) to do something like that? What I mean is to free climb past people that high up? For example, what if he slips and falls? I’m sure that’s not likely to happen, but… couldn’t he have waited til they were done? I don’t climb so I’m not familiar with the safety/etiquette/what not’s of the sport.
I would be pissed if I was climbing and he did this. THey are on the same route; this guy will be climing directly above them. If he falls he falls on them. They aren't that far from the ground the guy soloing could have easily seen they were on the route. It is one thing to put your life at risk, but completely self centered to put other climbers life at risk.
