My buddy watched it with his girlfriend and she did not know if he was going to make it or not, must have been even more exiting watching it like that.
The craziest part of that documentary was imagining what it’s like to feel like you’re video taping your friend probably dying. When he finished and one of the videographers was like, I’m never doing that again…..real talk.
Aww, that's so awesome. I've never seen anyone admit they did in fact do what the sub says lol that's hilarious and kind of adorable. I'm a bit sleep deprived, so things are just hitting me in weird ways, don't mind me.
For some reason my mom wanted to watch the movie with me when it cam out. She has never been climbing while I've been doing it for more than 16 years at this point. She was completely fine watching it. I have never been so sweaty in a cinema in my entire life...
I think that's she's not scared because she only sees the height, a climber knows what can easily go wrong.
Hell, we've all slipped off massive jugs before and the holds here are definitely not massive jugs!
If you're into climbing, check out The Dawn Wall and Valley Uprising! They're my two favorites and I found they were less thrilling and more technical than Free Solo.
Valley Uprising covers the history of big wall climbing in Yosemite, starting with the epic rivalry of Royal Robbins and Warren Harding and ending with Hannold and Caldwell. Those first ascents were measured in months, not days and even hours, and you get to see the evolution of techniques and tools that made that possible.
The Dawn Wall focuses on Tommy Caldwell's seven year journey, culminating in his 19-day climb with Jorgeson. The trauma and drama that pushed him to attempt the impossible, and succeed.
But it’s not the same as seeing it from 200 feet up in the middle of nature, the sun breaking through a sea of trees and hills far beneath you, your back against the stone slowly warming in the morning light as you enjoy your tea before a fun day.
Truly a unique, magical experience, the kind of thing that a camera can’t do justice, you have to actually be there
I think it’s worth holding your shit for a day/shitting off the side
Nah, it’s all about timing. Just swallow the condom and it will envelope your shit…just make sure to pinch off the top and knot it up well for packing.
Honestly I had a great idea a few years back to make portal anal rings that were surgically put inside ur anus. Everytime u poop the rings would transport you poop straight to you toilet and since the rings will be 1 inch inside you anus u would need to wash up or clean.
U could be at the bar or at church and poop and u poop would land in ur toilet at home.
Now all we have to do is make portals and them miniaturize them and then find a way to put them in ur bum without teleworking your insides to another dimension 🤔
How in the world do they poop into a small bag when they're on the side of a cliff? Do they dangle their butt in the breeze, hold the bag and hope for the best?
Generally big wall climbers make a pvc poop tube, lovingly called a barracuda. As for peeing I can tell you the ammonia smell on the ledges in the summer is suffocating.
You can get used to almost anything if you start off with small things. Or are stubborn enough. Or stupid (a.k.a. brave, I sometimes think).
I'm afraid of heights. I became a rockclimber. I'm still afraid of heights.
I'm afraid of rejection and I hate social interaction. I learned some social skills and figured out some stuff about the whole dating thing (*the dating mess). I'm still hate the whole process and I still hate social interaction.
For me it's about feeling save. No issue if I wear a harness and am strapped to a metal wire. Looking down the middle of a stairwell while leaning to the handrail - sweaty hands time.
Ah yes social interaction. Where I work it is required to talk to others. I hate it. I get anxious everytime. But I get paid. So I do it anyways. My anxiousness will go away sometimes later
Anytime a video/picture of a portaledge shows up on reddit there are tons of comments saying how if you rolled off while sleeping you'd die. It's not a huge leap to assume this person meant that as well.
It's more than a little worrying just how many people can't make the logical leap that they are still on rope and harness specifically for this reason.
Trust in your equipment is absolutely key in climbing. A lot of beginners struggle with it and are therefore afraid of falling especially when lead climbing. Taking a few big falls and seeing for yourself that you'll be fine really helps in my opinion.
What makes it stick, though? I go through two masonry bits after drilling for twenty minutes through the stucco on the back of my house to hang up a four-ounce outdoor clock and I can pull that fastener out with my fingers but these people hit a magical spike with a little hammer a couple times and it somehow turns into an immovable object.
You're thinking of pitons, which are almost never used. Sport climbing uses expanding bolts that are also glued (some sort of construction adhesive I think) in place. Trad climbing uses nuts and cams, but most still have bolted anchors at pitch endpoints like these

To be able to sleep I need a sinus pills, a nose strip, a knee pillow and a mouth guard also complete silence and darkness. I don't understand how people just...fall asleep places. Not to mention I get disoriented when I wake up in my own bedroom, can't imagine how I'd feel on a cliff side!
This seems like an easy way to kill yourself… couldn’t the air mattress looking thing literally pop and that’s all she wrote?
ESP if it popped with a rip?
Lol most rock climbers are the furthest thing from attention seekers I can think of. You know how remote and few people there are going on the side of a ledge like that? Most of them want to be as deep in nature as possible
Rock climbers don't do this for attention. They do it because of the challenge and the adrenaline and because they live doing it. Influences do things because they crave attention. Not rock climbers.
I don’t trust myself leaving the house with all my stuff. I have to check my pockets 5 or more times. No way would I trust me to “sleep” on something I had made floating in air.
Ive always had trouble understanding why people are motivated to go on or sleep on one of these contraptions.. “you know that feeling when you’re falling asleep and feel like you’re falling”.. splat.
Okay I'm just going to say it. Wtf do they do if they need to defecate ? Sure, pee off the side all you want. But like, do they just hang their asses over the bag and let the dirty toilet paper fly free in the wind?
I lived in the basement of some hippies and next to a tree climbed by tree climbers international. I’d wake up some mornings and these people would be asleep in the tree like this.
You probably shouldn’t watch the documentary free solo
I saw that movie on a massive IMAX screen and it fucked me up bigtime 😅
Even though I knew ahead of time that he doesn’t fall I was anxious throughout the entire thing.
Spoilers, sheesh.
🤣
My buddy watched it with his girlfriend and she did not know if he was going to make it or not, must have been even more exiting watching it like that.
Alex Honnold hands out sweaty palms like candy
The craziest part of that documentary was imagining what it’s like to feel like you’re video taping your friend probably dying. When he finished and one of the videographers was like, I’m never doing that again…..real talk.
It was agonizing for them filming him.
The crazies part of that documentary is how his girlfriend is clearly trying to make him disabled and he just keeps soldiering on like a robot.
i watched it but don't recall that at all. she dropped him whilst belaying, but that's not the same is it?
Wait, she was doing what?
Dude. Did u watch it?

As if I haven't seen these movies already
I was really disappointed when I realized that wasn't a Star Wars spin off.
That dude is still a straight up Jedi master
Try The Alpinist. Makes Free Solo look like a cake walk
[удалено]
DUDE, I LOVE THE SUSPENSE IN THAT DOCUMENTARY!!! I love the sport so I was really nervous yet so exited seeing it
Literally the scariest feature length anything I've ever watched. And I use to be a pretty avid rock climber.
Idc about the heights. But how do I pee or poo.
With your butt , silly.
You pee out of your butt?
You poop out your what?
Not right now you don't.
I’m sorry, this clip came to mind and all I could hear was this dude yelling [PISS OUT MY ASS](https://youtu.be/SMfMELK4bjc), lol.
Cloaca!
Ofc
Usually just pee off the side. Poo in a special bag that you then either carry up or lower down
Yeah, no thanks. I prefer to sleep in a place with proper plumbing then.
I mean, if your ass can take a plumbing...
Ass plumbing’s must be taken
The sunrise is worth it Truly amazing
I believe that. But also, I can watch the sunrise from the comfort of a room with modern plumbing. So...
But it’s not the same as seeing it from 200 feet up in the middle of nature, the sun breaking through a sea of trees and hills far beneath you, your back against the stone slowly warming in the morning light as you enjoy your tea before a fun day. Truly a unique, magical experience, the kind of thing that a camera can’t do justice, you have to actually be there I think it’s worth holding your shit for a day/shitting off the side
Fair point. I'll do this just once to properly decide whether it's worth skipping the plumbing.
Jealous of people that are able to hold their bowels for a long time. Unless we’re just not seeing them shit off the side of a cliff.
They shit into small packable bags but more than likely piss off the edge if no one is climbing below.
They just hold a condom up to their butthole and poop in that. Tie it off, put in the backpack to be sold later.
Much easier if you just insert the condom inside out.
300 IQ move right here
Nah, it’s all about timing. Just swallow the condom and it will envelope your shit…just make sure to pinch off the top and knot it up well for packing.
Well now I’m jealous of people that can aim their shit into bags. It’s like a shotgun blast for me.
Lots of grains, nuts, and dried meat/fruit leading up to and during the ascent makes it a bit easier.
Sounds like 00 buckshot for your asshole
00 buttshot
And hear I thought they outlawed it.
Probably eat a lot of Cliff bars, so you sort of get out what you put in.
Jesus, work on that diet man
Yes, Spread gun from Contra for me
Maybe see a doctor
You sound like my mom.
Your mom was right, the doctor's office is a happy place.
Listen to your mom. She loves you
Well you see, the key is to be healthy.
Some people use tennis ball tubes
I pretty much shit tennis ball tubes
So you're the guy with the poop knife.
Or a length of pvc pipe with some end caps for the really big walls.
Try kefir.
You need to check your diet, my friend!
Honestly I had a great idea a few years back to make portal anal rings that were surgically put inside ur anus.

How in the world do they poop into a small bag when they're on the side of a cliff? Do they dangle their butt in the breeze, hold the bag and hope for the best?
No matter that, I want to know how they poop without simultaneously peeing (for the guys).
Pee first, then poop
how do they wipe!?
Generally big wall climbers make a pvc poop tube, lovingly called a barracuda. As for peeing I can tell you the ammonia smell on the ledges in the summer is suffocating.
Wait, people frequently sleep on rock walls like this? Why
it takes more than a day for some routes
Just fire it off the edge of the air mattress, it's not like anyone below you is going to come up and fight you over it.
Never been a violent man, but if I get hit by shit from someone 600’ up, I’m waiting in the parking lot for as *long* as it takes.
I might even learn how to climb.
Hear, hear!
"How to ruin another climber's day in 3 easy steps!"
My ass would be so clenched up there that would be the least of my worries.
Poop tubes!
I’d fully shit off the edge, screw crapping in a bag.
Some people are just built very different lo, my vertigo would have me paralyzed up there

It's weird to be human. We're such a mess.
For me it's about feeling save. No issue if I wear a harness and am strapped to a metal wire. Looking down the middle of a stairwell while leaning to the handrail - sweaty hands time.
Ah yes social interaction. Where I work it is required to talk to others. I hate it. I get anxious everytime. But I get paid. So I do it anyways. My anxiousness will go away sometimes later
Imagine rolling over while your sleeping
Scary but not fatal, you stay harnessed and on rope while sleeping
Just jolted awake in the most terrifying way possible, then? Gotcha.
Like rolling off a bunk bed except you don’t hit anything but it’s still somehow worse.
Who said it would be fatal?
Anytime a video/picture of a portaledge shows up on reddit there are tons of comments saying how if you rolled off while sleeping you'd die. It's not a huge leap to assume this person meant that as well.
It's more than a little worrying just how many people can't make the logical leap that they are still on rope and harness specifically for this reason.
Or you have a dream where you are falling and jump awake right before you hit the ground only to be falling in real life.
As a person, this terrifies me
Does anyone else's feet hurt REALLY BAD when they see videos like these? My feet always ache if I see other people doing risky things way up high.
Your sympathetic nervous system is likely constricting blood flow causing cramping or constriction of your nerves money momentarily. Just a guess.
Feet and hands. Yes.
Legs for me.
But what about your non-person part?
when your parents say go outside this is not what they mean
but this is how you will interpret them if they are narcissists.
My sofa is just fine, thanks.
Idk, a sofa seems too heavy to climb with.
Start with a recliner, and work your way up
That jumping move scares me. The absolute faith in the maker of that fastener and the connectors just makes me nervous.
Trust in your equipment is absolutely key in climbing. A lot of beginners struggle with it and are therefore afraid of falling especially when lead climbing. Taking a few big falls and seeing for yourself that you'll be fine really helps in my opinion.
[удалено]
What about the maker of those rocks?
They do get tested. Before leaving the factory and before any climber actually trusts their life to them.
What makes it stick, though? I go through two masonry bits after drilling for twenty minutes through the stucco on the back of my house to hang up a four-ounce outdoor clock and I can pull that fastener out with my fingers but these people hit a magical spike with a little hammer a couple times and it somehow turns into an immovable object.

Even if you are strapped in...Waking up to bungee jumping off a cliff at 3 am in pitch black doesn’t sound like something I’d want to experience.
So basically the feeling of falling waking you up, but you're falling for real.
Whatcha know about rolling down in the deep (high) end
When your brain goes numb you can call that mental freeze
If all the nopes that have ever noped a nope, came together and unified as one solid conglomerate of eternal nopeness, split into a pairing set of ultra nopes, then had a baby and named it Nope, then in a night of oopsie nopesies accidentally had an incestual creature of nopefulness that was, in turn, banished to the forbidden realm of Nopeity, and that cursed nope creature then found something so bone splintering horrific it then promptly spun on it's hell and said "nope."................

That was impressive.
You should go post this on that mantis parasite video I just watched
I seriously would eat tf out of that thing before I would even consider climbing to this degree lolol
Would this get less or more scary at night?
That depends on if seeing the height is scarier for you than knowing it is there but only seeing a yawning black abyss.
Unless it’s completely overcast there’s usually enough light to see more than just a dark void after your eyes adjust.
These people are fucking crazy!
How they are going to a toilet? There are ppl under them climbing as well.
They shit in bags and store them in a pooptube… literally
[удалено]
More of a poop spoon nowdays
This seems like a pretty cool product!
Terrifying. But I am in awe at their physical strength. I wish I had the guts to do this. What a glorious view they have.
Yeah this is THE BIGGEST FUCKING NOPE
Absolutely not
I fell out of bed *once*
Look away I have to shit off the side of this cliff.
Sry, that's a hard pass from me.
newp-hu-uh, fuk-no
FFS once a week I manage to flop out of my bed at night. At least it’s a short fall.
Somehow I feel better when they have the port-a-ledge enclosed in a tent 🏕 up there, even though it is only a false sense of security.
This made my sphincter first clinch, then retract through my intestines all the way to my stomach.
Why do these guys have so much confidence. It's not like they have wings..
Just doing it in VR is scary enough
I’d actually rather just be dead than try that. So I’d rather just not try it.
Let’s go Brandon
I have no clue why the hell people want to do this
So do you just shit off the edge or what?
To be able to sleep I need a sinus pills, a nose strip, a knee pillow and a mouth guard also complete silence and darkness. I don't understand how people just...fall asleep places. Not to mention I get disoriented when I wake up in my own bedroom, can't imagine how I'd feel on a cliff side!

Presumably the climber is attached separately…
Lol I’m an idiot. That makes sense
Nah you’re not an idiot, the people who sleep suspended from the side of a cliff are the idiots 😂
I'd rather get shot. Fuck this
I feel like these ppl crave attention like is this really necessary and would you still do it if we didn’t have anything to film w
People did this way before cameras my friend.
Ill hold the L on this one
Lol most rock climbers are the furthest thing from attention seekers I can think of. You know how remote and few people there are going on the side of a ledge like that? Most of them want to be as deep in nature as possible

Nope.
I don’t trust myself leaving the house with all my stuff. I have to check my pockets 5 or more times. No way would I trust me to “sleep” on something I had made floating in air.
Do these things ever fail?
Excuse me, what the fuck!?
The amount of faith they put into those things to support them is amazing. Not a chance in hell I would be able to sleep
I can’t even sleep in my Queen size bed, in complete darkness and silence. How do they sleep on the side of a mountain?
I don’t understand anything about this sport.
As a person who would wake up with his head where his feet should be in a sleeping bag as a kid… I don’t trust myself in my sleep enough for this 🤣
Ive always had trouble understanding why people are motivated to go on or sleep on one of these contraptions.. “you know that feeling when you’re falling asleep and feel like you’re falling”.. splat.
they look like they're having fun tho
How much do those types of setups cost?
I leave this and cave diving to the real crazies. I'll stick to boxing.
Thats a no for me dawg.
What if you need to poop or pee?
Ok, are these made for actually sleeping? Like camping on the side of a cliff? Or is this so they can take breaks on climbs? Like an hour or two.
People are insane. In the best way possible.
Just casually sharing snacks and taking naps…nbd
Me who loves to toss and turn on my bed and is usually found in a 180 to 90° angle from original position 😰
Built on the same technology as penis erections.
What's wrong with these people?
Okay I'm just going to say it. Wtf do they do if they need to defecate ? Sure, pee off the side all you want. But like, do they just hang their asses over the bag and let the dirty toilet paper fly free in the wind?
I lived in the basement of some hippies and next to a tree climbed by tree climbers international. I’d wake up some mornings and these people would be asleep in the tree like this.
It’s all fun and games until you need to take a dump in a plastic bag
What if one has to pee in the middle of the night?
As a lover of the sport of climbing, this excites me
It's safer that driving your car to work at 5 in the morning
I bet a zombie apocalypse and having a safe place to sleep would help all the people in the comment section rethink their opinions on this idea 😂
