    I've seen it, it's entertaining. I google Alex Honnold occasionally, to see what fantastic things he's done lately and if he's died yet.

    Education is extremely important.

      @George-K I have such a physical reaction watching those videos. My palms sweat, my calves tinge, and my heart rate increases. The sound of the "wind" in the video doesn't help.

      @taiwan_girl That documentary is on my list to watch!

      YOu should. I am not sure if it was in the movie or the article, but one of the training exercises he does it to hang from the molding that goes on the outside of a door frame for 90 minutes at a time to strengthen his fingers. After reading that, I tried it and could not last even 9.0 seconds!!!

                              Reminds me of this one time I told some guy I owed money to, that I’d give him his 40 dollars there on that ledge, just meet me there tomorrow. Then the next day I totally didn’t go. I just stayed home lol. He must have felt so stupid when he got up there and I wasn’t even there lol. I mean I went up the night before and left the 40 dollars there but lol I didn’t even hand it to him lol.

                                        I agree with the first part of your statement.

                                        Second part? Nope, nope, nope.

                                          I’m with George on this one. I’ve developed a fearful respect of heights as I’ve gotten older. No problem being in a building or a plane, but even walking across a tall bridge and looking over the side gives me butterflies.

                                          30 years ago I jumped from airplanes and hot air balloons. I wouldn’t do it now.
