Then make the climb

Based nigerian user

well without the risk of that it, then there wouldnt be any value in doing it

>sticky powder
You mean chalk? The exact same shit you use on blackboards and on billiard cues? A powder purely for keeping your hands dry? You think that is "sticky powder?"
>special shoes
Oh yes, shoes with soft rubber on top of the toes as well as on the bottom. So special.
>lotion
Being a climber and not seen the docu, I have no idea what this is referring to. You wouldn't want to lube up any part of your body that contacts the rock as you would lose friction.

>the film crew was potentially filming a guy fall to his death
Too bad he didn't, it could have been at least a little interesting then

>sticky powder

guys like some ancient conqueror reincarnated that decided to climb rocks. very impressive

Fuck I cant watch this

Anybody else get sweaty palms watching this? Soles of my feet too.

How much actual climbing was shown in this?

that's a big drop

thanks for pointing out why this guy is a retard so i don't have to

>already famous free soloist
>girl friend gives him her number at book signing
>freaks out whenever he free solos
What did she expect.

>why wasn't it just 4 hours of raw footage :/

for you

I've had a lot of fantasies about dropping out of life and living in a van so I'm interested in seeing everything about him but was just curious. Is it more about the actual climb or him?

It would be extremely painful xD

alex is a slowloris looking bug eyed fag

struck a decent balance imo, similar to Meru (unsurprisingly since that starred jimmy chin)
the movie itself is not terribly long, idk just check it out

free-solo is the gayest name to give something that is so asinine

Yeah, and I never sweat

I wonder if him being a vegetarian and his lady nipples are related.

the roastie is unbearable

I'm wondering why they got such a small fridge.

>that defense if chalk
Yikes, just because it is just chalk doesn't mean it doesn't help tremendously. You're extremely retarded

n-never? o_o

The fridge represented his commitment to their relationship

yeah the fact he used chalk totally makes it less impressive I agree user

That fridge choosing scene really captured his autism well.

Post the gf

>so youre saying you dont feel obligated to me and our relationship and will continue the climbing
>yes.

You clearly know nothing about climbing and as a climber, it's honestly embarrassing to read this

Why would any sane person do this.

geneticaly what are the chances of someone like this who has the optimal build, height, freakishly massive hands and also a malfunctioning brain which enables him to feel no fear?

You make it sound like what he used turned him into the Spider-Man and that doing a rope assisted path means it's easy doing a free-climb after.

The real fist person to free solo El Capitan.

And then after all of that genetic luck the guy decides to have something he's optimised for as a hobby. He could have done any number of unremarkable things and remained a nobody working a finance job or some shit. Makes me sad to imagine all of the utterly wasted potential in the world.

He doesn't have optimal build.
There's plenty of stronger climbers.

So if he fell, would they still have released the film?

He said that to her a few weeks into their relationship. It was cut weird, there was like a 2 year gap or something.

>as an X
Wow great argument fagtron you sure convinced me with those hot opinions

Then he will fall.
As the child did - without the rope. Then death will find you again.

Why does a movie about an autist who climbs very tall cliffs trigger incels?

dude isn't boring, he has a dangerous obsession
women find that shit hot

>be roastie who doesn't even climb rocks
>attach yourself like a parasite to a famous rock climber autist who has done NOTHING in his life but climb rocks, whose very being is defined above-all by his dedication to climbing
>constantly discourage him from climbing because it's dangerous
>get toastie when he brushes it off with statements like "nothing and nobody will ever be as important in my life as climbing"
>stare out the window and pout
30% of the movie is this twat bitching about her boyfriend doing "dangerous" things instead of paying attention to her. My favorite part was when he was reading about a colleague dying while climbing and she said something about how his wife must feel. Roboclimber scoffed and said "what did she expect" and she got pissy about his response. I also liked when she talked him into buying a house and they went refrigerator shopping. She wanted the shiny stainless top-line model and he found the plain white cheap refer and said "nah, this is perfect".

I genuinely hope she is out of his life. If he's going to be happy with a girl she will need to at least understand and be interested in climbing. I hope he banged this girl at least once: youtube.com/watch?v=E6vWUHYhSnI

but there are all kinds of films where they film guys and sometimes little girls actually dying

look at this fucking brain dead champion of stupidy

Serious question here. I live my life in fear. What drug can I take to become fearless like this?

What does he do if it starts raining?

There is absolutly 0% chance that somebody who post unironically the pic you did ever had unpaid sex

Free climbing = climbing with no rope. And he's climbing alone. It's not like they sat around thinking up a name.

>>uses sticky powder on hands
Good post.

Maybe not as cool as this, Im terribly afraid of heights, but whenever Im in tall building or bridge Ive just got to look down just to feel that rush of anxiety

When Toe Rogan interviewed him he asked him if any climbers take some drug that is supposed to lower the effects of fear and adrenaline spikes. He said that this would not be a good thing for what he does. He's not acting fearlessly. He's taking calculated risks and has a fear of falling. If you want to climb without fear just use ropes like everyone else so you can fall over and over again.

The difference between what Honnold does and what the average rock climbing enthusiast does is like the difference between Evil Kineval and the average motorcycle enthusiast. Rock climbing with ropes is relatively safe as long as you're not stupid or intoxicated. It's probably statistically safer than baseball, certainly safer than hockey or skiing.

Watch this guy climb one of the highest graded (most difficult) routes in the world, failing over and over again and not getting anything worse than a bruise or a skinned knee: youtube.com/watch?v=ZRTNHDd0gL8

>you were alive for the greatest athletic feat in human history

That famous climber guy who climbs with Alex was the most annoying, fakest fucking person I've ever seen in my life.

There are none, you could be mentally re-conditioned to not be afraid of stuff though (exposure therapy, "flooding", etc.). You just have to find some psychiatric professionals willing to ignore laws on human experimentation. Or research these methods and use them on yourself.

Because incels don't understand why some people are successful in life and they aren't. So when they see someone leading a successful life "just climbing things" they get mad.

>inb4 he's screaming in pain
Not really. If he's in pain it's an elective pain, in that he's fighting through lactic acid burning his muscles. The screaming that you see alot of climbers do is more a mental thing that's supposed to help get you to a point of maximum exertion, similar to the way martial artists or football players scream.

>all these replies SEETHING in denial
get over it fags he could easily go barefoot with no chalk but he can't

Good question, I've got no idea.

This. For a normal person to do this would be insane, but for the amount of training he's done this is no more dangerous than what an F1 racer does. Its just normal people have a lot of experience driving so it doesn't feel as dangerous, while rock climbing at this level is something that seems insane to them.

Pretty sure he picked a day where he was confident it wouldn't rain.

If it did, maybe one of the film crew guys would climb down and give him some rope or something.

>that video
kino ending

>when he got past the boulder problem and knew he was home-free
His confidence had me pumped, the way he was laughing and chirping the cameras as he went by was awesome.

>safer than baseball

F1 racer is a really good analogy. Really anything worth doing is going to be risky, and you can be a hermit and still die young with no stories. I used to work at an outfitter that sold climbing stuff, kayaks, etc and it was so annoying to hear people beg for reassurance that some activity was going to be "safe" as if it was safe to even leave the house. If you're going to have any fun in life you're going to need to take a risk once in awhile, and if you want to achieve fame and/or fortune like this guy in anything, whether it's professional, artistic, or otherwise, you'll probably need to take some big risks at one point or another. Tell a bull rider that his hobby/job is dangerous and he'll probably just laugh in your face, then out live you despite being trampled by bulls once in awhile.

So what? I can open Liveleak and watch some cabrones hack a guy with machetes, somebody falling is nothing to write home about.

sorry i'm a boomer and I forgot that baseball had been ruined by a bunch of new rules and equipment and is a pussy game now. Point taken, baseball is probably as safe as bowling now.

This sort of suicidal behavior reminds me of Fukumoto's Akagi:

>the essence of gambling/free soloing/Gattaca swimming/etc. is a meaningless death

fuck chalk and fuck climbers

And fuck carabiner clips!!!!

people who enjoy climbing half way up a 3000 foot cliff and camping out tend to be eccentric. He's probably just a weird guy. If you spend enough time in these big parks you will meet people doing weirder shit than that.

Do you really think stupidity or "stupidy" has anything to do with this? Fucking hate it when losers just claim everything is stupid to make themselves feel better for being a fat useless fuck.

>a few feet
>3,000ft

It's an emotional defence mechanism against insecurity. Acting superior to everything to hide a deeply embedded feeling of inferiority.

I was still stressing for him at that point. Even though i knew he made it. Didn't look any easier to me
