    7 people on a niche platform that saw your post. Millions saw free solo and millions more watched him climb Taipei yesterday. If you don’t like it, don’t watch it. It’s that simple. Wishing death on him and then saying it’s somehow promoting suicide is some dumbass shit. It’s an extreme sport, clearly not your thing.

      I mean it’s clearly a mental illness. He could be using safety gear. He’s climbing like this for a rush.

        Participating in extreme sports is a mental illness? Pushing ones limits is not a mental illness. He knows the risks and enjoys it. This is what he’s trained for his entire life. It’s no different than a Travis Rice being heli dropped off on top of a mountain in Alaska and snowboarding down. Or a Redbull athlete jumping between planes in a wing suit. Different strokes for different folks. Not a mental illness.

      I don’t watch it, it’s stupid. I hate that he is in Valley Uprising. I skip his segment when I watch. People have died because of his grand exposure.

        People are stupid and if they’re dumb enough to do something they aren’t equipped to do is natural selection. I don’t want people dying, but that’s the risk and they know it.
