"Free solo climbing - Free solo climbing is like sport climbing except you use no rope. If you fall, you die."
I KNEW sport climbing was dangerous - I didn't realize you were one step from dying, though.

This is obviously not the crowd it was intended for. But for the average-joe whose perceptions of rock climbing come from the media (TV, movies, etc.), I thought it was well written and informative.

"Rock climbing is a little like skydiving. Both rock climbing and skydiving have an element of danger. Both are sports where people participate mostly for their own personal satisfaction -- these sports do not offer much for spectators. And both are sports where potential participants either "get it" or they don't. In skydiving, either you are excited about leaping out of a plane into the abyss, or you aren't. In rock climbing, either you are excited about scaling a vertical piece of stone, or you aren't."

Don't feel so bad, Pagan, I've been doing it wrong since 1963!
So everything relates to sportclimbing, kinda makes you wonder what Mr (big) Brain is into...
Not bad overall, there are a lot worse explanationss out there.
