Free Solo

[Ryan Lemonds Hair]

I just finished watching on Disney Plus and that guy is insane. If you haven't watched it's about rock climber Alex Honnold free climbing almost 3,000 ft tall El Capitan in Yosemite National Park without any safety equipment. For someone like myself who has a fear of heights I just don't get why anyone would do something like that but to each his own.

 

[JamesLee]

Easily one of my favorite docs of all-time. Definitely recommend!

It was interesting but I had a 20 minute anxiety attack the last part of the show. :joy:

He has a death wish. Lord.

I watched it a few months ago. Not that impressed, in all honesty.

The CGI and special effects were good, but the acting was terrible.

It must take a lot to impress you. :joy:

• 36º in Cumming this morning.
• A deputy sheriff was killed in Alabama. Perp captured.
• Saw a deer earlier this morning.
• Have a good safe short week. Enjoy Thursday.
• Cats are making progress.
• As you were. Carry on.

We should make a documentary about it.

I really enjoyed the step-by-step explanations of the technical parts of the climb.

Well, for starters, the dude used chalk. I mean, FFS. Climb it raw and then we'll talk.

Watched then too. Dang good to me. I can't imagine the mentality.

RIP girl. You were the best!

 

[Ryan Lemonds Hair]

She has some huge hands.

RIP girl. You were the best!

She has some huge hands.

That's not the only thing she has that's huge.

 

[Ryan Lemonds Hair]

That's not the only thing she has that's huge.

That's what I have heard.

Just read this article last week about this guy. The strange brain of the worlds greatest solo climber

They ran tests and mri's on him and basically he just doesn't feel fear. The part of your brain that causes you to feel fear doesn't seem to work in him. They aren't sure whether he was born that way or if he just shut it off after doing such scary stuff over the years.

After watching the film I am not certain he feels any emotions. It seems he has a difficult time in expressing his feelings towards his hotty girlfriend too.

It seems he has a difficult time in expressing his feelings towards his hotty girlfriend too.

He claims he’s good at hugging though, so that’s a start.

 

[TurnipDaBeet]

Why cant you guise be serious? Greatest feat of all time & yall wanna post Arbys & Star Warts.

So he’s probably a sociopath. Lock his *** up

I was talking to the guy that said they had studied his brain and he doesn't experience fear. I was saying that fear must not be the only feeling he doesn't experience.

 

[Ron Mehico]

He seems somewhat autistic. And although cool, I guess, the whole activity he’s dedicated his life to is extremely stupid.

Oh I guarantee he will kill someone,

Ok..maybe not

 

[funKYcat75]

Couldn’t pull it off without Hollywood effects and stunt doubles.

 

[RacerX.ksr]

He has a death wish. Lord.

Death wish granted.

 

[BlueVelvetFog]

Death wish granted.

It was a different dude. Brad something or another

Is chalk used in them?

 

[chroix]

It was an impressive feat. His inability to feel fear has to help him pull it off but unfortunately I’m pretty sure we all know how his story ends though.

We watched it live. I had the same feeling that I had when the guy tight roped the Grand Canyon live...I was actually sweating watching both of them. You could put a gun to my head and tell me to do one of them and I would tell you to just shoot me. :victory:

We actually do know how it all ends. He died on Thanksgiving day. You'll be shocked to know that he fell 1000' to his death off a cliff.
