Uses magic sticky powder

>However, inherent risks such as loose rocks or sudden change in weather are always present.

like Charlie's uncle from Always Sunny. Girls get wet just seeing that

It's actually really easy. Since everyone uses chalk, all you have to do is look for the chalk on the mountain and you already know where to grab the best holds.

Wow the game is fucking rigged

when this guy goes to a football game he just writes "We Are #1" on his hand and holds it up

What do they do if they have to pee? Or poop?

That would be my greatest fear :(

I don't think freeclimbs are that long.

the first time el cap was climed it took them 15 hours

alex did it in 3 hours 56 mins

>The Nose was first climbed in 1958 by Warren Harding,[8] Wayne Merry and George Whitmore in 47 days using "siege" tactics: climbing in an expedition style using fixed ropes along the length of the route, linking established camps along the way.
little longer than 15 hours

I usually have to at least pee in 4 hours but I guess when you doing exercise you're sweating that out.

I still fear having to poop on a climb. Maybe with ropes it would be fun to just clip in and let a big log drop. Depends on the harness it might not be very easy though. Imagine dying adjusting your harness trying to take a shit climbing. What would they tell your family?

>What would they tell your family?
how would anyone know that's what you were trying to do?

>he doesn't keep an audio recorder running to narrate his life
Sheesh.

>tree's are clearly going 90 degrees behind him

This guy just crawled on his hands slowly for 3 hours and expects us to believe he climbed some rock nobody outside of nowhere America has ever saw.

I mean on a not free climb usually you do these things with other people.

Still they would probably find you with your pants partially down or maybe find feces at the bottom indicating you were trying to poop.

>he climbed halfway up a cliff face before dropping his trousers to his knees and hanging himself with his ropes

the pants could've slipped down during the fall and impact and it's quite common that you'll find a corpse has shit itself.
you wouldn't pull your pants down that far to take a shit while climbing

they could slip down as you just said

precisely so why would anyone just presume you tried to take a shit even if your pants were down that far?

'on the spectrum' = just an actual prick

i think you misunderstood me friend

then we've misunderstood each other. good day

I won't be impressed until someone free bases El Cap

y-you too

I doubt they would have slipped down climbers pants are kinda designed not to.

They may notice there is a abnormal about of or lack of shit. I assume the coroner would notice all this.

Very boomer of you to say that

How much more water? I drink 5-6 glasses worth. It's not like my urine is too yellow.

recommended is 9 cups a day.

Interesting. Internet also suggests a half gallon or 8 cups worth. I guess I can stand to increase my water consumption. Thank you. I doubt this will cause me to urination much more frequently though.

However this has been an enlightening chat my friendo.

You should email this dude and cc his girlfriend and tell him you think free soloing the nose is impossible.

I seriously doubt he was free soloing in bad weather

weather in general in dumb shit. he's already putting a shitload of stress on his body, he may as well protect it from the sun and wind

I assume some of it is to catch sweat have a bit of protection against

farmer hands

I don't get it, what's the point of climbing?

what's the point in anything?

if he got into a bad spot he had artificial holds he could grab to escape. they just weren't shown on camera for obvious reasons.

i'd like to see sources

its literally in the documentary

"I cheated"

I mean, why risk his life doing that shit when he almost doesn't make money from it

he was making money from rockclimbing before teh documentary

Give him what?

he lives in a car...

I can't imagine the IQ needed to find that funny

Ok, flat earther

You can die from drinking too much water too fast

he probably got a couple million United States Federal Reserve Shekels for wearing North Face shit just in this documentary alone

because that's his choice. he explains that he travels a lot so the car makes it easier.

To be fair it takes a high IQ to get a sports joke, people need to complete Potty Humor school first and get a certificate in poop AND dick, then they can move up to Advanced Slang and Storytelling, mainly words like 'chode' and 'smegma' and 'cooter'.

Then you move up slowly to the first class Intro to Sports where you learn, What Sport Is That? and Dick Jokes in Baseball, "what a big bat!"

You then have to write a essay on your choice of Bad News Bears, Major League or Bull Durham (its Advanced Placement). Why did you guffaw or not to guffaw?

The really advanced stuff is Fan Humor like when someones really big hand gets compared to a common Sporting Fans Novelty Hand, an abstract concept that requires knowledge of the finer points of sports culture, visual communication and creative usage of props such as pens to write on your giant fucking hands.

Once you wrap this up, we end with some improv and the rare Cricket movie: No. 1 Dilwala (Vunnadhi Okate Zindagi), which you must reinact with the entire class in its entirety.

wtf his accomplishment isnt impressive now

The hardest thing about what he doing is not the physical climbing, its the mental aspect, that is what pretty much no one else can do, plenty of people could do the climbing.

>The most difficult route Honnold has completed with ropes was rated 5.14c and without ropes was 5.13b.
>Adam Ondra and Chris Sharma are the best sport climbers (shorter climbs with ropes) on the planet
>Honnold is still an incredibly strong climber, but to put it in perspective, there are a few hundred people on this planet that can climb 5.14c. There are only about a dozen that can climb 5.15a and only 2 (the two in this video) that climb 5.15c.
Really puts things into perspective. Honnold is a fraud, the doc was a glorified Redbull GoPro ad.

Here is how a real climber climbs on one of the hardest routes in the world: youtube.com/watch?v=ZRTNHDd0gL8

Notice the screaming, while Honnold was completely silent during his ascent. Honnold couldn't do this even with a rope, he's leagues below the likes of Ondra.

Attached: Screenshot_2019-03-05_00-01-33.png (1207x322, 58K)

The issue with the nose is there is a lot of dynos and near impossible holds. Even lead climbing the nose is a feat itself

>short climb for aport, nothing at stake

Looks like kids’ league compared to the risk in Honnold’s master class. If they fail, they can just come back another day and repeat. Honnold can train with ropes, but when he has to perform the free solo, he has to be perfect, he can’t have a “bad day”.

That guy is in the Olympics. Honnold wouldn't even qualify.

what is lead climbing and why is it harder than not lead climbing? ELI5

The olympics is a safe and controlled event, Ondra would pee himself if climbed 300 feet with no gear, let alone 3000 feet.

Climbing a well-rehearsed route with easy grade is safe and controlled. Honnold even says so in the doc, the crack is basically free going, you literally can't fall if you wedge yourself in there. Why do you think they cut out so much footage in the doc from the 4 hour climb?

>itt fags

As a rock climber myself, what Alex did and this movie shows is nothing short of maximum triumph of will. As someone who struggles to lead a 5.10, alex has massive balls. I can not describe how astounding this achievement was.

First person up the climb, putting in protection etc. etc. A lot of rock climbing is mental. Lead climbing puts extra stress on you mentally because you have less protection.

>watch the webm
>hands start sweating profusely
does this shit just happen to me or what?

>There are only about a dozen that can climb 5.15a
do you mean to type 5.15b here? because this post seriously confused me about the ratings

why are they screaming?

>As someone who struggles to lead a 5.10
>rock climber myself
Literal middle-school kids are climbing that nowadays. Not even prodigies, the average athletic high school kids were climbing that a decade ago when I was climbing.

I hate this kind of guy...
Are better climbers? Of course! But they arent famous. I think that Brette Harrintong is better than him, but she didn't maje a movie.
Say that Honnold is a fraud because there are better climbers is just stupid.
Even use your idols to minimize what other guy did is a shit thing

Few do what Ondra does. Even less people do what Honnold does. That should tell you enough about it.

Honestly the 3d modeling on this part of the "rock" is subpar.

The texture is all stretched out and the bump mapping is shoddy. They likely didn't plan to have that part of the level visible.

Because he miss his yoga class

Might as well just run up if you’re gonna do such an idiotic route with all those steps to climb.

Are you legitimately retarded? Did you read a single youtube comment and came to the conclusion to "wow alex is a pussy". Alex is the best free soloist alive hands down. Sharma, cadwell, ondra, and dean potter (F for respect), are/were great climbers. Some rock walls have complwtely different styles of climb then others. Yosemite climbing is completely different to sand stone climbing etc. These climbers specialize in their locale climbing and can be considered the best climbers of that locale. A 5.13 in Yosemite could be easier for honald potter, and cadwell than a 5.12 in spain which is what sharma is great at. These guys spend years of their lives studying the rock face and perfect their styles to climb the rock face. Saying there is one single "greatest" climber in the world is fucking retarded. But in the specific climbing style of free soloing, yes alex is the best alive. Kys nig

just relax, it’s easy as fuck.

jk, this one doesn’t make me sweat, but free solo slackline makes me forget to breathe because I get really anxious, and when people fall and grab the rope, my heart stops beating for a sec.

>hurr helicopter pilots are bad because there are pilots that can pull 9g and helicopter pilots can't

free climbing is about making zero mistakes. while you can afford to make 100s of falls climbing 5.15 as long as you get one eventually.

He said in an interview once that if it's piss he either just lets go or rests and whips his dick out to piss down the cliff. If it's shit he poops in a bag and carries it with him since he doesn't want to leave poop there for other climbers to come across.

Well he did it alone, hence solo, and I believe he did not pay anything to do it so it was free.

everyone can do that...
