@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!!!

Yah, but can he play Rach 3?
I'll bet not!

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

@jon-nyc Pretty sure that is the guy from "Free Solo"
@taiwan_girl yes.
And he's dead from, a fall.

Link to videoReminds 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.

That one looks rather safe. I'd give it a try.

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.

@jon-nyc my fear started when I was in my early 40s. I drove a motorhome over the Mackinac bridge on a blustery day. Since then, bridges give me the willies.
It made vacations in Portland a bit fun - bicycling over the river. And that bridge in NOLA? Not gonna happen.
But, if someone ELSE is driving, no problem. We did the bus tour in San Francisco, and it was fine over the Golden Gate and Bay bridges. Going over high trestles on the train never bothered me either, despite being 10-15 stories up.

From what I can tell, she's only using one carabiner. Whereas normally I thought it was normal to have two, so that you can unhook one and move it to the other side of a post, while keeping one still connected.
No, I would not do that. Maybe for 10 million bucks, but no not just for fun.

My dad has a sincere fear of driving over tall bridges. Like, when I was 15 and only had my learners permit, we came to a bridge (not sure which, let's say it's the Delaware Bridge on 95), I had to drive as he kept his eyes closed in the passenger seat. He said he didn't always have it, but developed the fear sometime in his 20s or 30s.
