moneymogulThat's incredible. I always thought I was something of an adrenaline junkie but I've never seen anything like this.

Crazier still, he said it is not an adrenaline rush for him. It's calming, or something to that effect. Can you believe that? Adrenaline will only come to a climber when something is really wrong.

Couldn't do what he does, nor could I live like him. Then agan he's doing what he truly loves, and for that I envy him.

 

Yeah...what I find most interesting is how he overcomes the natural anxiety feeling and the fact that if you can't overcome that your literally going to simply freak out and die.

 

Highest wall I've ever free-climbed / bouldered was about 45-50 feet and it was pretty exciting but scary at the same time. I did the climb 5 times that day and on my last climb I fell from about 20 feet and severely bruised my tailbone.

This shit is intense though, I couldn't imagine scaling a 2000 foot wall.

My name is Nicky, but you can call me Dre.
