    I just watched a full summary of his climb which left me dizzy as I don't like heights anyway. He definitely has a different mindset to the rest of us. Incredible.

    It was a live show on Netflix, with a ten second delay for obvious reasons.

    Obviously that guy looking out the window didn't give him a fright.

    I got sweaty palms watching it. I understand you can go in the Obelisco now and climb the stairs to the top. I don’t even think I could that!

    In case you missed it.


    The Oscar winning documentary of this fellow free solo climbing El Capitan in Yosemite National Park will also take your breath away and I found the whole film hosted here:
