This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

More pixels:
Rope and anchor much easier to see here.
I'm so pleased to discover he's smart
"smart" being a relative term here...
Yeah. Rope and anchor mean that falling isn't guaranteed death. I still wish he'd have a helmet, though.
Yeah, my thoughts go more towards a slip and fall and smashing into the side of the mountain rather than a slip and fall to the bottom.
I trust the rope and anchors to keep his body in the air.
He apparently trusts his body to do the rest.
Every single manner of objectively rating or quantifying intelligence has disappointed me
Ah, thank you
Thank Jebus he has a rope. Original picture made me feel bad and nervous.
But still 😵💫
When I first looked at the OP I thought someone had photoshopped out the rope and quick draw and was mad at them. Then I looked more closely and saw that it was just shitty quality and they blended in really well.
I'm actually glad for that. I thought he was free climbing and it made me nervous.
I think the only climber that did it free solo is Alex Honnold. He took a less deadly route I believe. The documentation is fear inducing though.
I still couldn't see it, till I realised it's underneath, not above, the climber!
