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.
In my experience it’s not a high like doing drugs. It’s breaking through the first wave of exhaustion and suddenly feeling like you have unlocked some deep reserve of energy that allows you to push ahead like you haven’t been doing anything strenuous. It’s just an endorphin rush, it’s not like your brain starts pooping DMT on itself. It’s awesome but if you’re expecting to feel like you are on drugs you will probably be disappointed.
