If big money was involved, then I could do it.
I am not afraid of making a mistake, I don't make them under those circumstances. But it costs for me to work under those conditions. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You've gotten wiser. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I stood with my toes hanging over the edge of a 10 story building once, but I was heavily involved in rock climbing at the time. It was no big deal. I couldn't do it now without freaking out a bit. You've gotten wiser. But if I spent a couple months climbing, I could do it again. It's all in your head. If you can stand on a parking curb without tipping over, you could stand on the edge of a roof without falling. There really is no difference other than dealing with the view. |

I am firmly in the nope camp!
What I find even more interesting are the comments of "where" everyone feels it, fingers, legs, nutsack etc. For me, my feet throb when I am up high on something or even watching videos like this. I'm sure you guys were wondering about that, so you're welcome.

Quite a ride, if you slip, or your ice ax pulls out. If you maintain good balance and contact, you can motor through stuff like that without much drama. Steck's speed is mindboggling. His ability to solve the kinematics is like watching a GHz-class processor vs a 486. |

The very act of getting off the couch increases your chance of death. For every notable [soloist] climber I know that has died while soloing, I can probably point to one who has died under far more mundane circumstances. Is free soloing more risky than other types of climbing? Yes. Substantially more risky? I don't know. I'd really have to dive into some details to say for sure. |
