anybody could conceivably die on any
given day and we’re all gonna die
eventually
[Applause]
so Lange just makes it far more
immediate you accept the fact that if
anything goes wrong you’re going to die
[Music]
I wasn’t the kind of kid that was into
all kinds of different sports and teams
I didn’t have a whole lot of hobbies or
interests I was quite a shy kid bit of a
dark soul I guess living in a van is the
most practical way to be a rock climber
it’s pretty civilized really I bought
myself a big white panel then and then
there are tons of things that I want to
do as a climber but they all feel
trivial compared to the idea of free
Oh Capitan was first climbed in 1958 and
that took 46 days of climbing spread
I’ve dreamt a free solo cat for ten
years and every year it just looked too
it’s just a big wall at least a thousand
feet taller than pretty much anything
else that’s ever been free so load in
the world super intense high-level focus
and difficult climbing for probably four
climbing without a rope requires a level
of mastery the rope climbing
[Applause]
climbing the root is not purely a
work to expand my comfort zone until
there is no fear there I shouldn’t go up
there unless I’m prepared comfortable
I’m not trying to overcome my theater
[Music]
definitely for me free soloing is as
close to perfection as rock-forming
guessing and it does feel good to feel
[Music]
[Applause]
humans don’t have any particularly
special place in earth certainly no more
you’re on this huge face this
overwhelming birth around you and you
climbing is a real physical challenge in
the real world it’s like man against
nature
you’re in this position and no other
humans will ever experience
when you feel like you’re climbing the
best that you possibly can
on something that’s barely doable that’s
there’s just so much in life where
you’re like I’m not good at life but at
least I’m really good at this for a few
hours on our cap I got to actually experience perfection
given day and we’re all gonna die
eventually
