PSA for climbing and andrenalin junkies!`
In January...Alex Honnold (the 'Free Solo' guy) is going to solo a 1,700-foot tall building in Taipei...and it will be LIVE on NETFLIX. (And yes...because I know someone here will comment...he'll be on the EXTERIOR of the building!)

Always stay two steps away from cliff edges, eg, McAfee knob...
or Barney's Wall, if I trip, I've got one last chance to catch myself. Heck, was walking on a little trail yesterday that had me a little woozy. no where close to the edge...but there was an edge. Still, I enjoy watching those guys, but I kind of like sports that I can quit right now, eg, play tennis and can't go another step? Just call it a day. Guys like Honnold doing half dome, he can't just call it a day, has to do the next hold and the next... Nope.

I definitely won't watch anything like that live.
I have zero interest in watching someone fall to their death if the worst case scenario happens. ** Edited by MP4VT2004 at 12/21/2025, 5:29:07 PM

The opening scene in "Cliffhanger" still makes my palms sweaty.
Some images just won't leave your head. ** Edited by KCHokie2 at 12/21/2025, 10:00:47 PM
