Coming across these kinds of folks when I was a youngster was by far the most impressive thing I’ve ever witnessed.

The peace of mind is an atmosphere that surrounds them. These are humble happy folk who are, in my opinion, the ones pushing forward the pinnacle of human excellence. These are the best of us.

His soul was truly unique, but let's not let the situation of his death not fully rest in his own hands.
In his rush to climb more they simul rapped with no knots right off the rope.

[@reallyriley123]

I mean it is really like that in those instances, you like realize how close but you are fine so your body is fucking pumping and you are ready for war and your mind gets calmed by that relatively speaking, it’s only like after that goes away and later you will really be like “fuuuuck man” and feel it more. I feel like I’ve done this before like cliff jumping or climbing trees, like one time I’m at least 50 ft up and break a small branch start falling but like going in slow Mo pushing aside 2 small branches and wrapping on a big one to pull me back to the tree and swing back to the middl and just sit for a second, look down and realize I’m still like 40 ft up and it just doesn’t feel real. It’s like a quick time event in a video game but I hit all the buttons barley😂

[@geoffreyeble32]

Not exactly. That was a long fall, but there's a reason why rock-climbers bring all that gear with them. Every climber has taken many falls. Maybe not 50 foot whippers, but those two are some of the most experienced, expert climbers on the planet. They don't place nearly as much protection as the average or even considerably above average climber does. They run it out more and they're aware of the consequences. Still it was a surprise, obviously, for Caldwell but luckily it was a vertical fall in a dihedral. That in itself doesn't negate the possibility of injury.

I took a lead climbing class years ago and they make you practice falling. So they have you climb to the very top of the wall, the person on belay let's out a few feet of slack on the rope. So nothing it holding you up there at this point besides you holding onto the rocks. And with just your finger tips push off the wall to fall and hope the person on belay is actually attached to the rope lol. It was pretty fun though
