But when you really come down to the sensations, you're still crushing your bones into a crack like a star.

Yeah.

I definitely don't.

You don't?

I mean, well, you have your grip thing.

You can find out.

Well, actually, so there is like a sloping cliff thing below me.

So I'm actually only like 30 feet off the ground or 40 feet.

But if you fell, you'd bounce off and you'd go, you know, basically to where it looks like down in the valley floor down there.

It's funny, actually, have you seen Free Solo?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Do you remember the camera guy that can't look?

Yeah.

The guy that's shooting the long shot on the ground, Mikey.

He's a really good friend of mine.

I've done tons of things with him.

He shot the Taipei climb as well.

um mikey was the photo assistant for this photo he was like holding the photos and he did the whole shoot just like looking into the wall like he just never looked at any of the things happening like jimmy chen was taking the photo and mikey was like did all the the rigging and the lights and everything and mikey did the whole shoot just like looking into his arm like looking the other way he was like i am not part of this i'd like to see his brain scan

He was stressed, but he, I mean, he's an elite climber himself and he's, he's amazing, but like basically watching free soloing is stressful and nobody wants to do it if they don't have to.

Oh, it's actually, I've had several moments, but actually mostly with ropes on.
