fu jow, b1tches! 
I imagine what kind of high these guys must experience. I’d love to get into the sport, but if the fall doesn’t kill me, my old mother surely will
Awesome, I have so much respect for people that do things that I am too chicken **** to do !!
On a side note, since you mentioned fu jow, I have come to the conclusion that many systems with specialized “hands” came about because their developer had extra ordinary strength/skill in that particular hand.
I think it’s nuts to go without the harness…but I’m sure it’s a good high.
Of all the various grip workouts I’ve done, rock climbing is the best workout and the most fun…unfortunately it’s also the least convenient.
totally wicked!
That always freaks me out. Talk about having confidence.

I’ve done HALO’s and I have done dives into the ocean and come to shore via scuba.
I’ve done some stuff that I can’t talk about, LOL !
But THAT ****…is…crazy…

Now that youve mentioned HALO, it got me thinking: shouldnt those climbers at least equip themselves with a parachute, or one of those funny looking batsuits base jumpers wear? Guess an extra insurance ruins their adrenaline trip…

don’t sweat it man, there are trannies that can fool anyone…we understand…
I always think how are they getting down. I love the dude wearing the helmet if you fall it`s wearing you for protection. Monkey king indeed. Chris Sharma man beast of a climber I love watching him climb he inspired me to do a bit of climbing.

Ippon.
I do have some appreciation of the skill and guts of these free climbers. But my view of the activity still holds - there is no sport worth dying for.

This is effing insane! It makes me want to go rock climbing. With a harness. Indoors. Where there are mats and coolers full of Gatoraide and nice, young climbing instructors.
