I’ve followed him since he was still a teen

He’s done enough.

He’s got a lovely young lady who adores him

He should rest on his free solo laurels

You climb that style long enough you will die

No doubt

I get sweaty palms and scared just watching him

On that journey up El Cap

Two Pitches on that climb scared me ....the karate kick move to the left on I think pitch 5 or so

And the swing out near the top.....

It’s amazing

Athlete of the year

I’m sure the usual scolds here will be offering their nasty pearls from the comfort of the lazy boy

Hope I’m wrong

Just watched it this weekend on Netflix. The last 20 or so minutes showing the climb were riveting. I don’t know how this guy shoves the fear away. I was clenching on the sofa, but I couldn’t have stopped watching if I had wanted to. How does he climb with such huge gonads? When you hear somebody talk about a brave athletes, this guy needs to be on the top of the trophy.
