    • @funvidman
      @funvidman Pƙed 2 lety +6

      They make the climb harder for themselves, with no margin for error, Risk-reward calculation does not make any logical sense, hence why I'm leaning towards insane.

My legs felt like jelly afterwards so how you manage to free solo this wall is beyond me. But this region is definitely one of the most beautiful in Europe, so you might as well do it there I guess :). Great job!

    Sounds like a jeff dunham gag..."eetz a gopro...onna steek" !!
    Awesum bit of work...
    I loved solo-ing,much lower grades admittedly but I soloed my lead grade on the hill,the Ben,Skye,Cir Mhor, Lakes,Wales...it was awesome.
    Used to freak some people out a bit but I loved it...there was a freedom,an ease of movement,a wee bit of "bad boy" edge...all in all,swanning around on a biiig piece of mountain,all on your own,or in good company is,MAGIC.
    Especially for a mediocre climber,it gave me a buzz I found hard to get normally.
    In the proper company,it made long "mountaineering" routes/days a lot faster to cover and much more productive.
    Also,it emphasised the seriousness when you returned to a full "traditional" effort for something technically harder,more serious.It
    increased "think twice" options,
    Again,this was well worth watching as the "background" to some of these pieces is as important as the film itself.
    Well done mate,worth the wait now...
