FWIW, I have literally never heard of a rock guide or mountain guide free soloing with a paying client...
- hutzlibu 3y agoIt depends what you count as free solo. In the alps you definitely can book tours without a rope, that involve low grade climbing, that most not mountain people would consider as free solo. And it is the same principle there. One wrong step and you fall to death. And people do. But experienced guides can minimize the risk, by going routes, the client can manage.
