Climbers have always amazed me. I’ve spent a lot of time in Yosemite and watched them, but never felt the urge. This guy is so far beyond what even talented rope climbers do it is amazing. I hope we don’t hear a sad story about him one day. Maybe he’ll lose interest and have a good life running a rock gym somewhere.

I did a little climbing in college. Nothing like this, nothing more than a couple hundred feet - with ropes, always. If memory serves, I needed those ropes at least twice.

Like the other guy they interviewed said, of all the people that have made a habit of doing big free climbs, about half of them are dead. Not good odds for retiring from the sport...
