In climbing, you can't really do that as much because it's so slow.

Like when you climb, you make one move and then you make another move.

And then you're like, do I still want to be here?

Like it basically fear creeps in a lot more.

But sort of in gravity assisted sports, you can have more of that moment where you just like overcome your fear and then it happens.

You know, like making a big drop in a kayak or like skis or things like that.

Whereas like once you commit, it's happening one way or another.

Anyway, there's a lot to get into it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Well, so that video is actually filmed later.

So the voiceover in that video is me talking about the experience of me freestyling when I was totally alone.

And I did get really scared on Half Dome and I had this whole somewhat traumatic climbing experience near the top of the wall.

But then when we went back to film it, I had a different traumatic experience while we were filming.

Less traumatic, but like very scary for a moment.

And they got that on camera.

So they basically in the film, they just cut the two together as like because it shows me like.

being really scared what's half dome to start with and then what was the trantic experience yeah so half dome for anyone who hasn't seen is uh is this just totally amazing wall in yosemite it's a 2000 foot granite face actually um it's the north face logo it's a it's freaking it's that's half dome okay yeah so it's like an iconic wall in yosemite um

It looks like half of a dome, but actually it's more like a hockey puck just shoved in.

It's actually a full dome, depending how you look at it.
