  • when I know what I'm doing and I'm climbing well, then it feels meditative and very relaxing and beautiful.

  • But if I don't know what I'm doing and I start to hesitate, started, get scared, then it could be a nightmare.

  • Typically, watching free soloing is scarier than doing it, because when you're when you're doing the climb, you know how comfortable you feel.

  • You know how in control you feel.

  • You know, where's when you're watching.

  • It's definitely a bigger mental challenge than physical e think, regardless of the film, regardless of any media company, it e I mean, at some point I could just have a picnic with my family, look at the wall and be like that is the wall that I climbed once, like that's you know?

  • I mean, it's just it's deeply satisfying.
