Alexander Huber - Free Solo (Hasse BrandlerVIII+)

[purplemonkeyelephant]

So in the sport of free solo, in your entire life, you can never afford to make ONE mistake. My brain just does not compute

[Futgurutl]

one of the nicest fellas I have had the pleasure to meet a couple of years ago at a management conference where he compared risks of free-soloing to management risks. The attending manager's middle-aged wives were all over him, it was hilarious to see those women act like love struck teenagers :-D

Although this is amazing, it looks less cool with a helmet on

[ogdemigod]

No helmets were harmed in the making of this video.

[MultiSpider93]

[Kazbahn1]

How long before somebody calls 'fake'?

[Kazbahn1]

@Kazbahn1 sorry, make that 'some retard', not 'somebody'

[klingest]

he could hit his head very badly if he falls, so its good he has a helmet.

[YarbTheLegend]

Hehe. Me so funny! Me make stupid helmet remark just to get top comment! Me so clever!

[ohhey539]

dude you're out of your fucking mind

[yogonify]

some of that rock looks pretty bad too, fuck that would be scary as hell to break a hold free soloing, if you managed to break the hold and not die.

[MrPengwin95]

mama always said to wear my helmet...

[drumandrokid]

just do it !!

i VE DONE IT

[tmax557]

[GiveMeLongshot]

Helmet on, safety first!

[Bowman17]

@GiveMeLongshot Half of the shots in the film are from above meaning there is someone above potentially knocking rocks down on to Alex... and when free soloing its normally a good idea to not get knocked ou t by a flying rock.

[Maratona1969]

@GiveMeLongshot ..the helmet protects from stones that may be throw down by wild goats or wind..in this way it is needed

[the3fly6666]

@GiveMeLongshot

helmets are essential for a "safe" free solo climb. falling rocks could knock him out

[charcoaljohnson]

that is some shoddy looking rock

[chanrobi]

why does he bother wearing a helmet.

[NerdRage90]

@chanrobi falling rocks haha cant really use his hands to block his head

[alanmeires]

@chanrobi its incase a bird shits on hes head

[jeder91]

Addidas bought 5-10, so huber won't be able to wear his nice la sportiva miuras anymore...

[monkeyposer]

Thank god he has a helmet on.

[liamliam123456]

@monkeyposer The helmet is for falling debris ;)

[monkeyposer]

@liamliam123456 Does hitting the ground count as falling debris? lol

[cabldotat]

@monkeyposer: possibility of stones from above

[hexle1969]

@Xipo62 wie heißt es so schön... Gegensätze ziehen sich an ... :) so auch hier.

Ich für meinen Teil liebe es die Herausforderung jedes Mal aufs neue zu erleben. Nur der Berg, das Seil und ich... einfach klasse.

[hexle1969]

Alexander und Thomas sind für mich zwei klasse Typen, sie ruhen in sich, sind geradlinig und bodenständig. Überzeugen mit Ihrer Art, ihrer Power und zeigen starken Willen. Beneidenswert wenn diese und viele andere positiven Eigenschaften so präsent sind.

Grenzen sind dazu da ums sie zu erreichen und manchmal auch zu überschreiten in diesem Sinne *getschooo*... und *seil frei*

[Xipo62]

@hexle1969 irgendwie ironisch oder :P? dass menschen, die ihr halbes leben in mehr als 200 metern höhe verbringen, bodenständig bleiben :)
