No Whammies!!
Took a climbing class in Brooklyn. Body was sore, mad sore. Climbing is :mjcry: brehs. :salute: To anyone that does it in real life like this breh. I was scared only 30 feet up strapped to a harness, with ample cushion below. This dude here is a demon :demonic:


The closest thing to "Rock Climbing" that I ever did was hiking up this cliff called Bonticou Craig in upstate New York
Bonticou Crag and Table Rocks | Hike the Hudson Valley

But that's no comparison at all, since there's only ONE single rock (the one in the first photo) that requires you to have any arm strength at all to pull yourself up. It's all hiking with your feet other than that.

I don't even think I could climb a ladder for three hours straight without my arms failing. This guy is pulling himself up on two fingers not knowing if there's a snake hiding out in the rocks :whoa:

Seriously. Doing any athletic activity for three hours, and almost everyone is sweating and exhausted.

This dude is calm, and didn't even flinch when he saw that dude dressed up as a unicorn or Easter Bunny up there.:dead:.

Crazy Part when he saw a Unicorn up there :russ:
The Boulder Problem and Traverse part were crazy scary ASF. I thought I'm going to fall from my chair. What he did is one of the biggest achievement in Sports history:salute:

Are we going to consider he flinched when he bailed out the first time ? He did tried it at night, idk what's the purpose. Maybe the pressure of the film crew made him more nervous

I don't count that as flinching or chickening out.

His life is on the line, and he said the camera crews make it a different experience. He wanted to make sure he was 100% ready, and who can blame him when one misstep, one loose rock, one slip would end his life?

It's crazy how some people are afraid to use a ladder to paint or get near a roof, yet this dude is just cool as can be free soloing up 3,000 feet.:pachaha:.

It's finding out that his mother never hugged him, anything he did wasn't good enough. Girlfriend asking him if there was anything in his life that would make him not risk his life, and him saying nope :heh:
Watching this on Hulu and yeah, this dude aint normal :russ:

He basically told his GF that he wouldn't even consider not risking his life vs "settling down" with her.
