It feels different to be up there without a rope. It's obviously like much higher consequence. People who know a little bit about climbing, they're like, "Oh, he's totally safe," and then people who really know exactly what he's doing, I freaked out. I've thought about El Cap like for years. Then every year I'm like, "That's really scary. I'll never be content unless I at least put in the effort."

El Cap is the most impressive wall on earth. It's 3,200 feet of sheer granite. It's the center of the rock climbing universe. Obviously, I'd get interview questions about it all the time. "Oh, would you like to do that?" You're like, "Yes, for sure."

So, your girlfriend now? I heard is awesome. It pretty much makes life better in every way. It's really hard for me to grasp why he wants this, but if he doesn't do this stuff, he'd regret it. Everybody who has made free soloing a big part of their life is dead now.

I haven't been injured in like seven years. Unless suddenly they start getting injured all the time, what if something happens? What if I don't be able to get? I could just walk wherever. It's like I've always been conflicted about shooting up. Something about free soloing, just because it's so dangerous, it's hard to not imagine your friend falling through the frame to his death.

I think when he's free soloing, so he feels the most alive. Most everything. How can you even think about taking it away from somebody? No mistakes tomorrow starting to come sight. If you're pushing the edge, eventually you find the edge.

I can't believe you guys actually been stitching. Hey, Jimmy, do you copy? They just started quite you.
