    I don't see any other such physically and mentally exhausting task, where an error means instant death, so he had to beat that giant of a wall and that giant of fear in himself, beating the physics outside and the biology of fear inside, I think that's the greatest sporting achievement ever accomplished.

    5:35 that's the normal route where regular people use to get to the top. And if u think it's safe, there's an accident sometime ago after honnold free soloing the wall, even with the safety of that normal route has, it's still deadly, and as sad as it is, there's life at loss on that accident. So, people saying this man feat is one of the greatest achievement in human kind is an appropriate word, i am just shocked that there are lot of people who still don't know that this man exist and haven't watch the documentary film. Even if i already know he is survived, my heart just pounding watching he climbed the wall, can't imagine the documentary crew emotions, filming his friend on a documentary and knowing a mistake means death. Just kudos to all of them.

    People should realize that he doesn't just free solo walls, he climbs them multiple times first, with safety lines, and maps out the best possible route to then free solo when he's confident and ready.
    A lot of people think that he just
    blindly climbs walls without preparing
    or mapping his routes.
    He's *NOT* a dummy.

    How to reach such level? I somehow can comprehend the physical performance (somehow), but I can't fathom the mental one. How to be so focused as to not make any single mistake, while your whole life depends on the friction between your fingertips and a tiny surface of a rock? And I understand even less how to overcome the fear of falling, imagining that your life may end in an hour, a few minutes or a handful of seconds from now.
    Mastery is not the right term. There is no word for it. Immense respect.
