In reply to Robert Durran:
> Mind boggling. I can just about get my head around him doing crack climbs which takes cams easily, but it was the bird-slime, poorly protected ledge shuffling on the Old Man that I found almost unwatchable. I do wonder whether, if he could watch the videos like the rest of us, he would think "f*** me, that is totally nuts" and take up golf or snooker or something instead.
Although 'Free solo' was impressive, it didn't give me the visceral fear I felt watching Jesse trying to get gear in on the Old Man. I actually felt queasy at one point.
