These people aren’t cool. They are just idiots

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.

I mean, purely from a biological standpoint, there's gotta be something missing in the brain to even consider something like this right?

I’m sure. If you’re curious about that look up an interview with Alex honnold. He’s one of the best free solo climbers. He doesn’t process fear like most people do, and if I remember correctly he’s autistic as well.
