free soloing means theres no rope, dumbass!

This is so amazing. The first free climb of the Nose. Everyone thought it was impossible. She just did it!
-
no sound!

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

free climbing is climbing but acting like you don't have ropes. there only there for protection. but free soloing is without any saftey
-
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.

@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
