Free solo

what would you consider impressive?

ur mom sucking my dick

If he did it without practicing hundreds of times with safety gear

based

Coding a A.I. that wants to suck my dick.

lmao! worldstar!!! GOT HIS ASS
delete your 4channel account

Practicing the exact route I mean. He already knew every move he needed to make, where's the risk?

I couldn't believe he stayed with her (and bought her a fucking house wtf) after she almost turned him into a cripple for life

then why has nobody else done it

Because nobody else has autistic brain mutations that make them unable to feel fear combined with an autistic love of rock climbing

let me see you do it faggot. Don't forget to have someone record it and your inevitable fall

Because it's retarded

>yeah, I can climb this solo, and all I need is...
>these specialized rubber shoes that allow me to grip the wall, without them it's impossible
>these shoes are made in a sweatshop factory in bangladesh and the waste is dumped into the local river - did I ever tell you I'm a vegan and an environmentalist?
>and this magic sticky powder, otherwise I'd lose hold and slip
>and to rehearse the route for months and months until I guarantee I can do every hold
>but yeah, I can solo it
>"it's all about the mental aspect, that's what makes it so impressive"
Goats don't rehearse anything, they climb on whim to lick salt, no magic sticky powder, no specialized shoes, nothing. That's free soloing, none of this artificial, Redbull-Go-pro tier commercialized sport.

Honnold claiming to be an environmentalist is what gets me the most. He wears 100% synthetic clothes which cause pollution in the third-world countries they're manufactured with, and which are proven to leech microfibers into the ecosystem each time you wash them. Human wastewater is filled with microplastics and that all runs into rivers and oceans, most of which comes from abrasion of synthetic plastics. Honnold is a fraud.

so this fag used super high tech mountie grippy shit and future tech grippie shoes to climb a route that he had practiced at least 100 times beforehand in full safety gear

interesting

>knowing all this gay shit
go back to your cave unabomber

Its basic knowledge fucking american

the accomplishment is climbing the mountain
doing it without any gear to flex on our ancestors is just stupid

ok user, we'll sit here while you livestream your attempt at the. boulder problem.
actually, since you're such a bad ass, I'm sure you can handle the teflon corner.
get to it.

>ITT a bunch of retards that haven't even tried indoor rock climbing, let alone outdoor

it's significantly harder than it looks. And even if he's done the route several times before w/ safety gear, it's still a multi-hours long climb to the top. Also, holds are known to break randomly when you're climbing outside. It's extremely rare but it happens. Any kind of sudden bad weather (earthquakes - very common in California actually) or wind, rain, etc. could have fucked him over hard. Yes, it's a VERY familiar route for him, but there were many things that could've gone wrong

>dude its really hard to put your hand on a rock and pull hard

alright go try it then lmao

Free Solo'ing isn't hard. He has never stated this. No one who does it ever said it was. In fact, Alex Honnold specifically says he would never free solo a route he finds hard. Because if it was hard, he'd fucking die.

He even says 99% of his climbing is done with rope. He just likes free soloing sometimes because its cool to climb without a rope.

what movie

Uh-uh. Not today, satan.

>magic sticky powder

chalk?

All it does is keep moisture/sweat off your hands.

The Dawn Wall was a more impressive physical feat. Free Solo was a more impressive psychological feat

I get this is a bait thread but how could anyone watch this shit and not be impressed. I bricked it doing an indoor climb wall lmao

>how could anyone watch this shit and not be impressed

*sip

Aah this takes me back, Free Solo posting, now THAT was a meme

what sticky powder? you the magnesium aka chalk?

>It's chalk
It has a whole bunch of additives such as plasticizes added. It's basically quick-set cement glue, similar to the stuff they use to set tiles. Why do you think climbers have to wash off with a solvent and wire brush afterwards?

This wasn't impressive at all. Why does SJW hollywwood commies pretend this was difficult?

>quick-set cement glue
how the fuck do you think he takes his hand off the fucking rock to get to the next rock

jesus how new are you

>And what was with the furries fucking in a camp on the way up?

This is a question I do not want answered, the mystery is what keeps me up most nights.

Its not impressive knowing that you can just walk up to the top from the other side.

nah it's stll very impressive. i climbed the same wall he free solo'd in the doc with some friends about 4 years ago and it took us 3 days. had only done very simple outdoor climbs up to that point, didn't think it'd be so physically demanding. was glad i brought a bunch of junk food along cuz everyone who didn't just had those gel food replacements you can get at health stores and they all had the runs

Lol right, those fat fucking losers greeting him at the top. Shit's easy as fuck.

>magic sticky powder
Isn't it just chalk to dry the hands? Man Yea Forums is retarded. Sticky powder.

In my opinion, Alex Honnold fits 2/3 criteria for psychopathy. As outlined by this psychologist,

smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/the-neuroscientist-who-discovered-he-was-a-psychopath-180947814/

who diagnosed himself as a psychopath after seeing his brain scan, the three major risk factors for psychopathy are as follows

>Dysfunction of the orbitofrontal cortex, leading to dysfunction of the amygdala, leading to lowered fear response
>Specific version of the so called "warrior" gene which makes serotonin not have a calming effect on you
>Childhood trauma

In the documentary, we learn through a brain scan that Honnold does indeed have extremely low activity in his amygdala. In fact, during the scan his amygdala doesn't activate at all while viewing images that would scare normal people. We also learn from Honnold's mother that his dad was an aspie. Honnold states his childhood was very cold, and his parents never said they loved him. This could qualify as trauma. The final factor can be determined with a simple blood test. If he does have that variant of the warrior gene, that would qualify him as a full blown psychopath. I am too autistic to like @ him on twitter about this though.

i-im just continuing the RP bro...

jesus thats a lot of rock

She was the worst part of the movie. You could see from miles away that she is exactly the type that got hooked with him because of his passion, she will put her foot down to stop that somewhere in the near future, and if he gives in, he will be left a joyless husk and she will leave him for someone better off afterwards.

or maybe they're just two people in a relationship? jesus christ

>where's the risk?
Idk, gravity?

Chalk is not sticky, it just reduces friction and climbing shoes are meant to stabilize your feet (normal shoes slip too much)

He wasn’t climbing up a ladder, some of those holds, even the foot ones” are less that 3mm wide (3 dimes put together width wise). Also he used no safety gear, even if it was an easy climb, one mistake = death, which makes it more interesting

You made too much chicken stock

on a portaledge, it's basically a tent/sleeping mat (there's different models, some more barebones than others) that you secure to the side of the rock with ropes. at first it feels completely batshit insane and you just constantly hope not to fall off and that it all holds up, slept like shit the whole first night. the 2nd night though i slept like a baby though, was too exhausted to care.

More importantly I'm annoyed by how shots of climbing like this always use fish-eye lenses to distort the image and make the climber look like they're much, much higher up than they actually are. It strikes me as very deceptive.

>he’s producers actually encouraged an autistic mentalist to nearly kill himself
The backlash would’ve been delicious if he died during filming

lmao nigga l climb that shit with my dick

>no specialized shoes
bruh they have the most specialized shoes there is

Then why are you unable to put your penis into vagina forward and back even once, let alone repeatedly?

Someone who is scared of heights having to climb a mountain and succeeding. This is basically his equivalent to a hike.

yeah fuck sleeping in this desu

That sounds really fucking cool and kinda scary. Nice man

Now tell them where the bathroom is

>some don't have walls
white niggas..............

Unironically I would find climbing a taller and steeper peak with safety gear more impressive than climbing this without safety gear. I am not impressed by taking risks and ignoring fear, especially when autism makes that easier, I am impressed by the actual technical skill necessary to accomplish the feat. So while the climb is impressive, it does not become any more impressive from his lack of safety gear, only normies who love the meme factor think so.

i mean yeah thats kinda cool and all but i bet he doesnt have the mental strength to stay in his bedroom for 12 years like me

Kek so true. I got spanked and thrown on the ground and shouted at. All the love yous and hugs in the world don't do shit for that.

Exactly. She is literally a year at the VERY best from ordering him to cut his shit out.

>>he climbed the safest route
Exactly. Anyone could do it. It's not hard at all.

I don't think you guys have any experience with psychology, you just sound ignorant.

>those astronauts had so many failsafes and safety precautions when they finally landed on the moon
thats what you sound like
dear god Yea Forums has me defending rock climbers. what have I become.

its really not hard being an astronaut since actual scientists tell you what to do 24/7

>deep sea diving
just dont swin nigga sink to the bottom lmao

Dude she literally says at the end of the movie "and now you're done!" when he obviously can't live without his passion (if he could, why would he have climbed El Capitan in the first place?). It's such a massive difference of opinion it's like if one partner wants children and the other doesn't.

Attached: 1568425066859.jpg (640x480, 35K)

Yes, talk tough to me, Daddy!

She is thrilled at the idea of being the one he gives it up for. A true dream killer.

4 inches isn't that impressive.

Don't they state several times in the film that it is a very technically difficult climb as well as obviously being dangerous. The reason his actions were considered so audacious and impressive is because one mistake would have killed him, and it's very easy to make mistakes on El Capitan.

You fat fucking slobs can barely get out of your chairs, you wouldn't make it 50 feet up a face.

Why did this documentary trigger Yea Forums so much?

>thousands of people climb indoor rock climbing walls everyday
>suddenly this guy is impressive bc he can do it on a real rock and without a harness

this really says a lot about our society

Attached: climbing-areas-for-all.jpg (550x349, 66K)

he also did it extremely quickly

Memes aside. This documentary was pretty good. My palms were literally sweating in the final scene.

it's about a balance of both user

There is no one on earth except Alex Honnold who can climb a 3000+ ft rock wall without a rope. There is no one who would even think to attempt it.

the dawn wall is better

Honestly i prefered the dawn wall doc. The guy came across as less of a faggot too

Does anybody have that webm where that girl or guy breaks her neck on a rock climbing wall

This. He definitely possesses many psychopathic traits such as fearlessness, thrill-seeking behaviour and displaying little or no emotion. The clincher would be if he didn't feel empathy.

...

>this is what zoomers think qualifies as trauma
There is no gold standard for things like "trauma" in psychology. A person's level of trauma is highly dependent on the individual. What is traumatising for someone might have little or no effect on another person. E.g. how not all combat veterans have PTSD. I actually think that most people tend to understate their traumatic experiences out of fear of being thought weak or cowardly.

>I got spanked and thrown on the ground and shouted at.
I'm sorry, user.

make sure to wear clean socks?

she's a 'life transformation coach' now. you know because of the part where he was just mundane until she came and told him to climb a... no wait

You really believe she sees ANYTHING in him once you take the "he is a famous climber" part away?

ive been climbing for years now and i still cant do an indoor v7 :(

Seeing a retarded rooftopper win a Darwin award always cheers me up.

i thought alex gf was cute and nice and good for him

hes got big hands

Doesnt look like he knew what he was doing.
