Saturday, September 16, 2006

The art of Free soloing is often confused with free climbing. Free soloing is one of the most refined forms of climbing. No ropes, no gear, no partners, the climber is on their own relying on their skill and mental edge to keep them glued to the rock. Free soloing was the first form of climbing to be developed by humans. Undoubtedly, countless bold free solos have been sent since the beginning of human history. Though bold and beautiful to watch, free soloing is the most dangerous form of climbing. A single slip, or lapse in focus could send the climber falling to their death. Freesolo climbers scale rock formations of all difficulties ranging from 20 feet high to mountains thousands of feet tall.
