you're right and it's also may not their fault, you know if a rock breaks out or a rock is falling done while you're climbing it can also kills you :( I' love climbing It's my passion !!

For anyone who is curious, this is Dean Potter, and yes he is insane.
He's also a climbing legend and a totally chill dude, as well as one of the best free soloers in the world, up there with Alex Honnold.

@MrMattaoe Look free soloing is more than just climbing. ive free soloed 5.9 routes that were two pitches. Im a 5.12 trad climber so 5.9 is well in my comfort level. But when your on the rock and off the deck with no ropes you really start to feel alive. It is very mental not climbing qwith ropes. Will I do it again yes. I free solo alot these days. But I still only attempt routes I know and routes well below my skill level. I love free soloing but I doubt ill ever free solo a 5.12

it looks like alot of fun. but its not worth it to me. one mistake. and your life is gone. it wouldnt be worth the risk to me! i will stick to my ropes :)

It is a great time yeh, but people who free solo or partially free solo only have to make 1 mistake.
Then they're done.
All free solo'ers that are still alive and still doing it will swear to you that they're safe and they know what they're doing. And they're right, because they haven't yet made that 1 mistake...

@TristanTheSaint actually... You can't try this at home... however, if you have a 3,000 ft granite cliff in your backyard, I stand corrected.
