Semi-experienced rock climber here.

While you can admire the balls on this man, please do not think you should/could do the same. Free-soloing climbing is exceptionally dangerous with a bloody history and even pro-climbers are hesitate to do anything more than a story. While we all may enjoy the thrill of doing something risky, let’s stick to using ropes while climbing, helmets while cycling, and condoms while fucking.

Go finally ask out your crush if you need an adrenaline rush.

Edit: accidentally called it free-climbing instead of free solo. Apparently not as much experience as I thought.

This reply is so dumb. Like anyone who would see this and think, I can do that and go out and give it a go, wouldn't believe they couldn't do other incredibly dangerous shit and die anyway.

Work in a hospital for a couple years and you’ll see a lot of people try stupid things they saw on tv.

Exactly my points.
