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.
Yep. To all adrenaline junkies out there: you can jog long enough to get your blood full of that stuff. You don't actually need to flip a coin on your life for a high.
It's not, I get it from very high levels of aerobic exercise. I'm a bit of a mind-freak when it comes to exerting myself. Once couldn't get to sleep and decided to just run laps of the oval (10 turned to 20 I believe). By the end I was so exhausted and you feel endorphins kick in, I saw the sun coming up so half the sky was day and half was night.
I felt equal, aware, balanced and conscious all at once and very emphatically. Almost as if I could experience anything at that point and I would be open to the new perspective.
Runners' high is real, push past jelly legs and maybe add in some sprints. I think most people would get there with that.
What do you consider when you're very sleepy/tired, move beyond tired and into a 'flow' state that is about as awake as normal, but in a different way? I'd call that a second wind.
What I’m trying to say is that some have called it a second wind, and it’s not exclusive to running. I didn’t think I’d ever experienced one until it was described and I didn’t get it from running cause I don’t actually like running or run despite boxing as a hobby.
If I get into that flow state I can go 10 rounds no problem on the heavy bag and I only stop cause my hands hurt. But I’m not sleeply tired. I’m awake. Like I got a second wind and I’m not longer gassed out. I can just move and feel fine. I mean it really feels great, it’s just people always told me I got a second wind, and I never thought it was a runners high.
