Ooh, energy of the gods, adrenaline surge

Won't stop 'til I hit the ground, I'm on my way for sure

Up here in the air, this will never hurt

I'm on my way to impact, taste the high-speed dirt

One does not simply free solo El Capitan.

Wait, it's El Capitan a real mountain?? I tough it was invented by Jacob Wysocki for this

Definitely more than mildly interesting

Has no sweat glands on his hands

FYI he DOES have a rope in this image, but he went and free soloed (no protective gear) El Capitan anyway after the fact. This is likely a photo of his training he did to prepare.

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.
