>gets girlfriend >girlfriend wants him to not die
there's a difference between wanting him to safely rockclimb less and to not want him playing the climbing equivalent of russian roulette whilst she has to wait in absolute terror
If you love someone you're going to find it hard watching them risk their life and probably try to talk them out of it. The fact she stays with him and is supportive is insanely impressive, if my gf did something similar I'd probably have a nervous breakdown or have to get absolutely hammered or something

Shut the frick up, b***h. If she didn't want him to risk his life every day, then she should have found someone else to leach off of. Simple as that. Don't fricking complicate it with your cuck cope.
the fact you can't comprehend of a relationship that doesn't consist of one partner lee*ching off the other says more about you pal. They have a kid together, he achieved his dream project now so its definitely fair to ask him to maybe do a bit less of the unnecessary life-risking and use a rope a bit more
Also why is Alex not equally responsible? He could break up with her at any point if he felt she was more of a hindrance than a help. It's blindingly obvious to anyone that doesn't have severe autism that she is good for him
He shouldn't have had a kid, if he was going to risk his life, and be unable to support it. But that's second in the timeline of events. Before the kid came, they met and fell in love. But she shouldn't have planned her life around a man who has a high probability of dying randomly. She's a leech, because she only cares about what she gets out of a man, rather than what he gets out of life. If a woman ever decides a man has to give up his passions to make her life more secure, then she's a leech. Cause and effect, brother. Not saying all relationships. Just the bad ones.

But she didn't do this, it's a made up scenario so you can hate women. He's still free soloing all the time even now after he's a kids.
Also surely it's equally bad on him willingly getting in a relationship with someone and letting them get emotionally attached knowing you have a high chance of dying and ruining their life? But Alex has no agency or responsibility in the relationship in your mind for some reason??

They are not equally responsible. You're trying to place blame on him. When they started dating it was obvious and upfront what he does, and that she likes that he does it. She literally liked that he was risking his life and doing dangerous cool things. She understood the risks, of course he might die. And she continued to go along with it. From start to now he's been free soloing his entire life. He has not changed. The only thing that may have changed is her.
He has the power to break up with her and choose from countless women who would not blame him for doing a cool dangerous activity. She would go back to stalking cool famous people at book signings.

As stated like two posts up from yours, the conflicts between men and women are inevitable and irreconcilable.
Women want a wild man but need to “tame” him in order to live a stable life, but at the same time he will lose what made her excited and interested in the first place, should she succeed.
This happens every time and will keep happening, and you can’t stop it.
No need to lament it either, because men need women as moderators just as much as women need men.
That is to say, it’s a good thing that a woman got her claws on alex, pumped his semen from his balls, and got preggers with his child.
Him conceding completely to her would be a tragedy, yes. But at the same time he shouldn’t die alone and childless at some peak somewhere. It would be an ignoble end all the same

he hasn't died yet, I'd say hes the one free soloer that having a kid isn't irresponsible.
>wanting him to safely rockclimb less
She knew who he was. She knew climbing and specifically freeclimbing was his primary and basically only passion. She knew what the frick she was doing. He did the right thing breaking up with her, the only mistake was not doing it before she "accidentally" belayed him wrong and busted his shit up.
He had a child while doing that climb.
It’s one thing being yoko or whatever, but having the breadwinner peel off a cliff and die goes against pure maternal instinct and is a stupid FRICKING thing to allow.
I can relate immensely with the sentiment
He has a child because some succubus milked his dick into her gayina just after he finished a climb while he was still hopped up on adrenalin. All he wants to do is climb for gods sake, leave him alone
Good on that woman imo
Preserve his insane psycho climber genes and large hands phenotype for the next gen.
Remember women have agency too, their conflict is inevitable and eternal.
not nearly as hardcore but when I did angel's landing in Zion, the ridges were as thin as 2-3 feet at times going up to the summit. at that risk and height you don't think of anything but the step ahead of you and the process of completing it
angels landing is child's play my man. the only danger is dying of boredom while hundreds of fat tourists take an eternity to go the opposite direction on one of the narrow chain sections. they even put in a permit system because it was so crowded.
Psychopaths and sociopaths have a wide range of emotions, what they lack is empathy. They still feel fear, however they respond differently. This guy is an adrenaline junkie.
No.. that's not an adrenaline junkie, that's a fricking mental case.
There's something not right about him but I'm glad he's doing that. These sociopaths should seek these types of activities..
Otherwise who knows what kind of shit they'll be up to.
Frankly it's more impressive to think of some sherpas wearing nothing but wool and yak skins doing this 500 years ago when there was no international community they could impress in seconds
I hate how normies frick everything up around the world for internet points. It reminds me how they had to close the beach in Thailand that became famous because it's where Leo went in the movie The Beach. They finally reopened it this year after being closed for 3 years and after just 6 months they had to close it AGAIN. Now no one can fricking ever go there.
But… why do you need to go there? Who cares? Or are you just a normie seething at too many normies?
I’m a recreational snorkeler and you can find your own spots so easily. The world is so reliant on yelp and other people, no one knows how to explore shit on their own anymore. The normie places are not any better than random spots in the middle of nowhere, stop being a cuck and explore without a normie handhold
>The world is so reliant on yelp and other people, no one knows how to explore shit on their own anymore
I'm gonna Cinemaphile crosspost here, but it's funny how the same thing is said regarding MMOs. Everything is about hyperlevlling and metagaming now, no one explores as they used to. BUT, based on your example I think that's human nature. Most players probably would have done the same thing as they do today if they had the same online access to it as we do now
>Because it is a massive accomplishment that makes you a legend
Its not 1990 anymore. You pay 2 snow Black folk and they carry you to the top.
pretty idiotic to focus on the everest bit, whether or not its easy to get up now doesn't change the fact that you're a legend if you do the shit Alex and Tommy do. And for the non legends its about the rush of living life close to the edge.
>that makes you a legend
There's is almost no one on earth who could name anyone who's climbed a mountain off the top of their head. Because it accomplishes nothing and no one gives a shit.
This. At most it becomes some cool story you tell at the bar over and over until everyone gets tired hearing it. Meanwhile IG thots are getting more recognition for taking pics at starbucks.
>Why do people climb everest? Because it is a massive accomplishment that makes you a legend
Not anymore. Everest just means you're rich, and misusing company funds for 'team building exercises' which are months long vacations.
White people do this and other things not because they are easy, but because they are hard. Our unending curiosity is the reason we dominate the whole world and why Africans still live in mudhuts.
>You now remember the queue of fat white tourists wheezing and dying on Everest whilst nepalese sherpas speed up with ease, without oxygen carrying all their shit. And the same with African guides on Kilimanjaro
for thousands of years brave men with reckless abandon encoded into their DNA not only invited but scoffed at death by venturing far beyond the mountains, traversing scorching deserts and frozen tundras, circumnavigating the oceans and exploring their depths charting the entire globe. Up until modern times when we're on the cusp of interstellar travel there are still luddites incapable of understanding yet smugly content with straight up chillin' and never leaving the village they were born in. You ask why, they ask why not. We have an entire continent of people with your mentality and it's no coincidence they have contributed nothing to the world and their unremarkable history isn't even worth remembering
Black folk confuse me. There's no way they have zero Faustian spirit in them, they behave and think like dumb farm animals with no goals beyond immediate material satisfaction.
but there are things to be gained if you discover another continent, planet or things deep within the ocean etc. you can discover new knowledge, resources or insights from them, something that can move the human species forward.
there is nothing to gain but self satisfaction from climbing a cliff.
He's a legit moron, even the movie says so. It's the only thing that gives him dopamine.
>gets girlfriend >girlfriend wants him to not die
there's a difference between wanting him to safely rockclimb less and to not want him playing the climbing equivalent of russian roulette whilst she has to wait in absolute terror
If you date a moron who does moronic things for a living, who's the actual moron?
>why would somebody do this? it's just inviting death, and there's nothing to be gained from it
"There are no Black folk there", he thought. "Black folk live on land, and while they're clearly similar to chimps, they do not climb here. It's peaceful here. On land, Black folk could be anywhere."
is there any third party video of this guy climbing these places? has anyone ever seen him do it IRL? everything he does is professionally produced and smells of fake
Magnus has talked a lot about that climb and how he wasn't even sure he would do it until the moment he started.
Alex saying stuff like "there's no way you will fall" and "i totally believe in you" are absolute facts of the universe in his mind but he is too autistic to realize this doesn't work for most people
To answer you question, he probably would have been very sad but wouldn't feel guilty about it and chalk it up to "it comes with the territory"
>I feel a little stuck right here
this is exactly why you don't hype up an incredibly unsafe and dangerous hobby. if for some fricking reason your inhumane charisma check failed and this guy started panicking, what do you do? climb to the top, get rope shit, climb down and save him?
shit like this is why everyone screams about underwater cave exploring, that you get into a situation that is not easy to escape from, and your mind gets the better of you.
>what do you do? climb to the top, get rope shit, climb down and save him?
Honestly yeah I think that's the plan, even better if you have people already at the top. The one saving grace is these guys are world class and can hang onto many holds nearly indefinitely.
The one saving grace with this is that these routes are FAR below these climbers skill levels. could be done *in a gym or in short segments* by random people with a couple months of climbing experience. When the wall is less than vertical as it is for the most part in this video the climbing gets drastically easier because you can put almost all or all of your weight on your feet
this guy had a death wish, Alex never seemed like someone who was trying to die but Marc seemed like someone who had no purpose in life and basically just did increasingly dangerous challenges as a way to fill the pit inside him, i only feel bad for his wife who didn't realize it was inevitable
>Marc seemed like someone who had no purpose in life and basically just did increasingly dangerous challenges as a way to fill the pit inside him, i only feel bad for his wife who didn't realize it was inevitable
Maybe she's like a military wife, in it for the insurance money and officers' wives club.
"taming" the "beast" is up there with rape as one of women's greatest fantasies
finding a daredevil, a loose cannon, an alpha among alphas, their own little tarzan to turn into a good ol' limp-wristed urbanite is literally enough to "make" a woman
they're insane
classic female shit test >seek strong, independent provider >perpetually challenge their masculinity throughout the relationship to shift the power dynamic in your favor >gradually lose respect after he exhibits weakness by suggesting he is submissive >double down because you know with certainty that he can be controlled and exploited even further >dump him for being a spineless husk >go back to step 1 and repeat
this is how even the strongest men end up losing their home, car, money, assets and children after years of already being drained of resources. Mother nature herself couldn't tame this living legend but some wet hole can manipulate him into giving up his life long passion
a lesser known female instinct is tribe building. Once they secure a mate they tend to group with other females they're genetically related to like their sisters and mother. Literally every extended family is the women trying to build the biggest tribe around and shunning other females while the men just chill with literally any other men around them.
It’s a fantastic hike don’t get me wrong, but literal 10 year olds are out doing it.
Would be like posting in a thread about lance armstrong winning the Tour de France that you are able to balance on your 2 wheel bike long enough to make it down the drive way
entirely different experiences, I'm the same I only do casual nature activities but I'm still blown away by the dudes who actually risk their lives. My gf wants to rock climb and I just can't take her seriously cause she is out of shape.
Climbing easily. I would rather die by falling off a cliff than stuck in a hole like that. The worst thing about that mans problem is they can't even shoot him the head and kill him from that angle.
Getting shot through the ass with a high caliber round will go straight through to the head.
I've been crawling through caves before, getting into a super tight spot where I had to relax my breathing and body to be able to move around and decided I had gone far enough then turned back. You kind of panic a bit because breathing too quickly immediately reminds you of how restricted your body is and can possibly make a negative feedback loop. I can imagine getting to the point where you are truly stuck, if it's around your chest area anyway would be really scary.
Theres no guarantee they will get a head shot on him through his ass. Plus that angle looks a bit tight for a high caliber weapon and the reverberations could cause a cave in.
You would have to use a handgun and probably wouldn't want to go any higher than a 357. even that is pushing it.

Absolutely Collins. At least Jones was dead within a day, and was with people for a good portion of it. Collins was in there for like 13 fricking days or some shit, and spent the vast majority of the time completely alone and unable to move
>With Collins's body remaining in the cave, funeral services were held on the surface. Homer Collins was not pleased with Sand Cave as his brother's grave, and two months later, he and some friends reopened the shaft. They dug a new tunnel to the opposite side of the cave passage and recovered Floyd Collins' remains on April 23, 1925.[6] The body was taken that day to Cave City for embalming at J.T. Geralds and Brothers funeral home. Following a 2-day visitation at the funeral home, on April 26, 1925, his body was transported to the Collins family farm[4] and buried on the hillside over Great Crystal Cave,[3] which Lee Collins renamed "Floyd Collins' Crystal Cave." In 1927, Lee Collins sold the homestead and cave to Dr. Harry Thomas, dentist and owner of Mammoth Onyx Cave and Hidden River Cave.[4] The new owner placed Collins' body in a glass-topped coffin and exhibited it in Crystal Cave for many years.[6][8] On the night of March 18–19, 1929, the body was stolen. The body was later recovered, having been found in a nearby field, but the injured left leg was missing.[6][8] After this desecration, the remains were kept in a secluded portion of Crystal Cave in a chained casket. In 1961, Crystal Cave was purchased by Mammoth Cave National Park and closed to the public.[8] The Collins family had objected to Collins' body being displayed in the cave and, at their request, the National Park Service re-interred him at Mammoth Cave Baptist Church Cemetery, Mammoth Cave, Kentucky in 1989.[6][8] It took a team of 15 men three days to remove the casket and tombstone from the cave.
Caving because the easiest free route up El Capitan is 5.13.
Unless you are a pro climber that has many many years of experience, you will not flash (i.e. climb on your first time) 5.13. It is a guaranteed death sentence.
>look at this picture for just 1 second >can immediately feel my hands becoming clammy
what's the purpose of this. doesn't it make you more likely to slip? are our bodies trying to kill us? or are they trying to prevent us from trying stupid shit?

You're literally just coming up with stuff to complain about. Its only natural to want to see a cool place featured in a movie. You're a giant normalgay yourself for even using the term "normie" which fricking leddit came up with because they didn't want to offend homosexuals.

All these adrenaline junkies cross over with psychonauts and other types of junkies when they talk about their amazing experiences, since they can't express themselves properly and sound completely numb inside.
If you want to do that and not die, you probably have to be laser-focused on only the climbing itself.

pretty idiotic to focus on the everest bit, whether or not its easy to get up now doesn't change the fact that you're a legend if you do the shit Alex and Tommy do. And for the non legends its about the rush of living life close to the edge.
>Tallest Mountain in the world
>Covered in frozen human shit and corpses
>that makes you a legend
There's is almost no one on earth who could name anyone who's climbed a mountain off the top of their head. Because it accomplishes nothing and no one gives a shit.
This. At most it becomes some cool story you tell at the bar over and over until everyone gets tired hearing it. Meanwhile IG thots are getting more recognition for taking pics at starbucks.
Only pussies climb Everest. Real ones climb Annapurna I.
To who? Its a purely selfish pursuit, certainly to the level Alex has taken it. He has kids man.
>Why do people climb everest? Because it is a massive accomplishment that makes you a legend
Not anymore. Everest just means you're rich, and misusing company funds for 'team building exercises' which are months long vacations.
iirc the part of his brain that processes fear simply doesn't work
this + autism
prob had oxygen depletion during birth or something
bah it's no fun if you're not afraid
>mfw I invite death with nothing to gain from it
White people do this and other things not because they are easy, but because they are hard. Our unending curiosity is the reason we dominate the whole world and why Africans still live in mudhuts.
And what daring thing do (you) do?
I posted tiddies on a blue board once
I thought that was israelites?
>You now remember the queue of fat white tourists wheezing and dying on Everest whilst nepalese sherpas speed up with ease, without oxygen carrying all their shit. And the same with African guides on Kilimanjaro
for thousands of years brave men with reckless abandon encoded into their DNA not only invited but scoffed at death by venturing far beyond the mountains, traversing scorching deserts and frozen tundras, circumnavigating the oceans and exploring their depths charting the entire globe. Up until modern times when we're on the cusp of interstellar travel there are still luddites incapable of understanding yet smugly content with straight up chillin' and never leaving the village they were born in. You ask why, they ask why not. We have an entire continent of people with your mentality and it's no coincidence they have contributed nothing to the world and their unremarkable history isn't even worth remembering
Black folk confuse me. There's no way they have zero Faustian spirit in them, they behave and think like dumb farm animals with no goals beyond immediate material satisfaction.
but there are things to be gained if you discover another continent, planet or things deep within the ocean etc. you can discover new knowledge, resources or insights from them, something that can move the human species forward.
there is nothing to gain but self satisfaction from climbing a cliff.
why women and not white "people" xome to this site?
Why does anybody do anything?
Just dont do anything then.
To live
He's a legit moron, even the movie says so. It's the only thing that gives him dopamine.
If you date a moron who does moronic things for a living, who's the actual moron?
because there might be a pot of gold up there
Why do anything?
You tell me. Why not kickbox with a wild polar bear?
polar bears can't kickbox numbnuts
New Years resolution
>"B-Because we want to see whats at the top of the mountain, y-yeah!"
>continues to sit on the computer
Mountains are a myth bro
better than spending all of the free time eating and browsing the internet
>inviting death
On the contrary, he now lives forever. But you’ll die
he wanted to LIVE
>why would somebody do this? it's just inviting death, and there's nothing to be gained from it
"There are no Black folk there", he thought. "Black folk live on land, and while they're clearly similar to chimps, they do not climb here. It's peaceful here. On land, Black folk could be anywhere."
>mmmmm rogs
>that's not somebody's ass... no, it couldn't be. Oh God, what's that brown speck, and why is it getting larger?!
Who was taking the picture?
That Asian dude whose a pretty good climber in addition to photographer and documentary kino director
Found it Jimmy Chin
Spock was with him. He wasn't in any danger.
is there any third party video of this guy climbing these places? has anyone ever seen him do it IRL? everything he does is professionally produced and smells of fake
?t=1139
Marc accidentally breaking Alex's record and then Alex having to go back and break his record again is one of the most amusing part of the alpinist
wtf would Alex do if this guy just died holy shit, every free soloer besides Alex died at some point
Magnus has talked a lot about that climb and how he wasn't even sure he would do it until the moment he started.
Alex saying stuff like "there's no way you will fall" and "i totally believe in you" are absolute facts of the universe in his mind but he is too autistic to realize this doesn't work for most people
To answer you question, he probably would have been very sad but wouldn't feel guilty about it and chalk it up to "it comes with the territory"
>convinces other people to free solo
If I was that guys parents I'd kick the shit out of Alex
>I feel a little stuck right here
this is exactly why you don't hype up an incredibly unsafe and dangerous hobby. if for some fricking reason your inhumane charisma check failed and this guy started panicking, what do you do? climb to the top, get rope shit, climb down and save him?
shit like this is why everyone screams about underwater cave exploring, that you get into a situation that is not easy to escape from, and your mind gets the better of you.
>what do you do? climb to the top, get rope shit, climb down and save him?
Honestly yeah I think that's the plan, even better if you have people already at the top. The one saving grace is these guys are world class and can hang onto many holds nearly indefinitely.
Funnily enough at 28:20 there's a loose hold
there is legitimately something wrong with Alex's fear center of his brain
The one saving grace with this is that these routes are FAR below these climbers skill levels. could be done *in a gym or in short segments* by random people with a couple months of climbing experience. When the wall is less than vertical as it is for the most part in this video the climbing gets drastically easier because you can put almost all or all of your weight on your feet
>oh yeah I usually go by myself
>all my old friends are either dead or retired
damn
Thats the same route he took Adam Ondra to free solo. That says something
Star Trek V is underrated af
What a great movie
to hug the mountain
to envelope
that mountain
the hug the mountain
that mountain
that mountain
I was never into mountain climbing but Alex Tommy and the alpinist guy have amazing documentaries that make your heart race
i cried bros
this guy had a death wish, Alex never seemed like someone who was trying to die but Marc seemed like someone who had no purpose in life and basically just did increasingly dangerous challenges as a way to fill the pit inside him, i only feel bad for his wife who didn't realize it was inevitable
>Marc seemed like someone who had no purpose in life and basically just did increasingly dangerous challenges as a way to fill the pit inside him, i only feel bad for his wife who didn't realize it was inevitable
Maybe she's like a military wife, in it for the insurance money and officers' wives club.
>OH SHIT OHSHIT OH SHITTT
>Nofap day 451
HGH
semen retention is the actual extreme sport here
>goes after guy due to his unique lifestyle
>tries to turn him into an NPC afterwards
Its always about control.
why do you make scenarios up to get angry about?
What part was made up?
Did Ellen Page get leg extension surgery, face implants and change her name again?
She Bogdanoff brothers'd herself this time.
lurk moar
stunning and brave
"taming" the "beast" is up there with rape as one of women's greatest fantasies
finding a daredevil, a loose cannon, an alpha among alphas, their own little tarzan to turn into a good ol' limp-wristed urbanite is literally enough to "make" a woman
they're insane
And once she’s done she’ll hate them for breaking. I give it three years.
classic female shit test
>seek strong, independent provider
>perpetually challenge their masculinity throughout the relationship to shift the power dynamic in your favor
>gradually lose respect after he exhibits weakness by suggesting he is submissive
>double down because you know with certainty that he can be controlled and exploited even further
>dump him for being a spineless husk
>go back to step 1 and repeat
this is how even the strongest men end up losing their home, car, money, assets and children after years of already being drained of resources. Mother nature herself couldn't tame this living legend but some wet hole can manipulate him into giving up his life long passion
incel mindset
t. nice guy
beta simp cuck
women surely love you
keep it up
This is literally beyond red pill, it's nature at this point
incels don't know shit about nature because they are genetic dead ends. Never take advice from incels on anything, let alone women/relationships
He looks like a toy
a lesser known female instinct is tribe building. Once they secure a mate they tend to group with other females they're genetically related to like their sisters and mother. Literally every extended family is the women trying to build the biggest tribe around and shunning other females while the men just chill with literally any other men around them.
Why is she leaning away? He bought her pussy.
she's literally just standing normally, stop getting advice about women from incels

What if his arms get tired?
You find a good jam to sit in and shake your arms a bit.
He's probably got a ladder hidden in that crack!
>god I shouldn't have held in that shit christ how am I even gonna get my pants off FRICK
Boy i really hope the cg hides the safety line
You actually may be more autistic than Alex
Lol at even posting Angels Landing ITT
It’s a fantastic hike don’t get me wrong, but literal 10 year olds are out doing it.
Would be like posting in a thread about lance armstrong winning the Tour de France that you are able to balance on your 2 wheel bike long enough to make it down the drive way
this is now a touching the void thread
Just hire 2 guys to pick the trash if its so fricking important, you homosexual.
>the ocean
>Just hire 2 guys
Ask me how I know you don't touch grass.
Did you see a bigfoot?
microplastics
I just walk through trails in my local area. I'm not a legend but I like doing it anyways.
entirely different experiences, I'm the same I only do casual nature activities but I'm still blown away by the dudes who actually risk their lives. My gf wants to rock climb and I just can't take her seriously cause she is out of shape.
Just his grip and foot positioning. The guy has a screw loose.. he's an "x-treme" autistic.
>dude I'm so high
that was the anti-magic sticky powder diffusion trap
is he okay
Heights and large bodies of water.
NO THANK YOU
At that kind of height, aren't you paranoid that a random gust of wind could whip up and blow you off?
Wasnt it medically proven that his brain was missing the part that register danger?
No
he's amazing but surely this would qualify as a mental illness? to seek thrill to such a degree?
Climbing is just bored rich folk playing around. All pro climbers come from wealth.
Shut the frick up moron.
You will never be a pro climber, get over it turd worlder.
All great people do
Nirmal Purja
So playing the lottery is worth it, because one guy won 15 million? You are borderline moronic, are you an engineer?
yes and yes
Damn mountain ain't going to climb itself man
Forced at gunpoint, which one would you do
Climbing easily. I would rather die by falling off a cliff than stuck in a hole like that. The worst thing about that mans problem is they can't even shoot him the head and kill him from that angle.
They can shoot him through the ass.
I guess a better question is would you rather die from trapped upside down in a hole or die of being shot through the ass?
Getting shot through the ass with a high caliber round will go straight through to the head.
I've been crawling through caves before, getting into a super tight spot where I had to relax my breathing and body to be able to move around and decided I had gone far enough then turned back. You kind of panic a bit because breathing too quickly immediately reminds you of how restricted your body is and can possibly make a negative feedback loop. I can imagine getting to the point where you are truly stuck, if it's around your chest area anyway would be really scary.
imagine the prostate orgasm making you cooooom before you die
Theres no guarantee they will get a head shot on him through his ass. Plus that angle looks a bit tight for a high caliber weapon and the reverberations could cause a cave in.
You would have to use a handgun and probably wouldn't want to go any higher than a 357. even that is pushing it.
Jesus christ imagine shooting a gun in that space. You would need to stack 5 layers of ear protection on each other and even then your hearing would still probably get fricked.
What about a lethal injection?
Good plan. They should have just overdosed him on morphine or something
Who had it worse, John Jones or Floyd Collins?
Absolutely Collins. At least Jones was dead within a day, and was with people for a good portion of it. Collins was in there for like 13 fricking days or some shit, and spent the vast majority of the time completely alone and unable to move
Why didn't they just break his legs and pull him out
>With Collins's body remaining in the cave, funeral services were held on the surface. Homer Collins was not pleased with Sand Cave as his brother's grave, and two months later, he and some friends reopened the shaft. They dug a new tunnel to the opposite side of the cave passage and recovered Floyd Collins' remains on April 23, 1925.[6] The body was taken that day to Cave City for embalming at J.T. Geralds and Brothers funeral home. Following a 2-day visitation at the funeral home, on April 26, 1925, his body was transported to the Collins family farm[4] and buried on the hillside over Great Crystal Cave,[3] which Lee Collins renamed "Floyd Collins' Crystal Cave." In 1927, Lee Collins sold the homestead and cave to Dr. Harry Thomas, dentist and owner of Mammoth Onyx Cave and Hidden River Cave.[4] The new owner placed Collins' body in a glass-topped coffin and exhibited it in Crystal Cave for many years.[6][8] On the night of March 18–19, 1929, the body was stolen. The body was later recovered, having been found in a nearby field, but the injured left leg was missing.[6][8] After this desecration, the remains were kept in a secluded portion of Crystal Cave in a chained casket. In 1961, Crystal Cave was purchased by Mammoth Cave National Park and closed to the public.[8] The Collins family had objected to Collins' body being displayed in the cave and, at their request, the National Park Service re-interred him at Mammoth Cave Baptist Church Cemetery, Mammoth Cave, Kentucky in 1989.[6][8] It took a team of 15 men three days to remove the casket and tombstone from the cave.
Caving because the easiest free route up El Capitan is 5.13.
Unless you are a pro climber that has many many years of experience, you will not flash (i.e. climb on your first time) 5.13. It is a guaranteed death sentence.
5.13 for an obese fat lard maybe. Any healthy man should be able to hoist his own body weight up.
ok go do it
>spend a whole day driving to some shit hole just to do work
yeah no
>look at this picture for just 1 second
>can immediately feel my hands becoming clammy
what's the purpose of this. doesn't it make you more likely to slip? are our bodies trying to kill us? or are they trying to prevent us from trying stupid shit?
His gf must be happy. his fingers are so freakishly huge it's like he's got 11 dicks
>Another run this time without ropes, it only took me 1000 tries to learn how.
Relaxing and comfort mostly. Straddling that seam is the easiest part of his climb.
>muh internet points
>muh selfies
You're literally just coming up with stuff to complain about. Its only natural to want to see a cool place featured in a movie. You're a giant normalgay yourself for even using the term "normie" which fricking leddit came up with because they didn't want to offend homosexuals.
>started running two years ago
>i'm in the best shape of my life
>can't do shit here because it's a fricking cement jungle with zero trails or mountains and barely a couple of parks which are always full of people
Gotta move to fricking Europe or something
>Gotta move to fricking Europe or something
Why would you move to Europe? The western US and Canada has the best Cinemaphile in the world.
whats going on with the camera angles in this doc? its clearly shot RIGHT next to him as if there's camera men hanging on the mountain wall shooting it, but none of them are in any of the shots
they mounted a load of cameras beforehand, they literally show it in the doc you mong
but the cameras move
I'm not watching this full docu man, I'm just watching the climb
no, they turn on a robotic stand thing. morons
I am literally sitting here watching the movie as we speak, the cameras move in a handheld motion
there were a couple of cameramen camped out on the wall too. Also shown in the film
what is wrong with you guys?
to add to that, they don't just move they move in a literal handheld type motion
These people should have cyanide pills with them just in case
All these adrenaline junkies cross over with psychonauts and other types of junkies when they talk about their amazing experiences, since they can't express themselves properly and sound completely numb inside.
>I'm sure glad I'm not climbing this with cams that take up all of the good holds.
Sweaty palms
