This is a common misunderstanding. Free Solo means no rope. Free climbing means the climber only pulls on or stands on the rock. But he/she is allowed to protect with a rope and various devices that secure the rope to the rock. It just can't be used to help hold you or move you up the rock.
I think free climbing came about in the very early 80's possibly late 70's (not sure) but before free climbing there was aid climbing which is basically hanging of the gear using hammers etc to ascent.. this went on to only using natural features of the rock to climb and only place gear to save you if you fall.- free-climbing
@TheInGenCO youre getting it confused with free soloing...the term free climbing spans four subsets of climbing which are: trad, sport,bouldering, and free soloing
@philatarrage youre getting it confused with free soloing...the term free climbing spans four subsets of climbing which are: trad, sport,bouldering, and free soloing
Haha. Mate. This is not free climbing. She is lead climbing it. Free soloing is with no ropes whatsoever. She clearly has ropes and gear on this climb. Suggest u change the title. Plus. One star for lack of sound.
free soloing means theres no rope, dumbass!

She was actually the first person ever to free climb the nose. Few have repeated this climb since then. Very impressive achievement!

Free climbing means free of aids that let you put weight on the rope not free of rope to catch you in case of a fall that is free soloing

That must be the most famous roof traverse about. Still gives me tingles when I see it though. Especially seeing a master like Lynn Hill doing it.

@StatusRecordz you dumbass ... she is free climbing in this video ..
Free climbing is not the same as Free soloing. --
Free climbing is when you do the route without using aid points.
Free soloing is when you go without a rope.

@lagosryt ohhhh, sorry about that lagosryt. hahaha im new to this, I didnt know the difference haha... What do you mean by aid points?
StatusRecordz 1 year ago
@StatusRecordz an aid point is when you pulled on gear that you placed or was already there, such as a piton, bolt, or some other protection piece.
