These people who go for record ascents have, from my experience, a supremacist, narcissist mind set. They will risk all to be the best, even though who cares.

I don’t understand that, but...that is me. I can understand mountain climbing, being prepared, having the equipment and the plan, the safety.
But free climbing like that? Seems crazy to me.

It's an addiction that no one specializes in.

Well speaking of supreme...Here is Mt. Thor on Baffin Island. Biggest vertical drop in the world at 4100 ft give or take. Extremely remote to get to and difficult to climb.
