You can also add the legendary Patrick Edlinger, who died after falling down his stairs at the age of 52. Who can forget the epic "Life By the Fingertips": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj1-58EfWpo

Honnold and Tommy Caldwell climbed it as a traditional roped team in around six hours while rehearsing for the solo. It comes down to the competence of the team and how well they know the route. I can promise you that Honnold knew every sin

Well, he was standing around getting his picture taken when a big wave came in and washed him away. Whether he was free soloing or suntanning, it wouldn't have made any difference. Really sad, he was a massive talent and his solo of Ro

Climbing is quite safe and certainly less injury-inducing than eg snowboarding or skiing (as my damaged MCL will attest). Go to a climbing gym and learn how climbing works. You'll see there's nothing much to worry about and you ca

When working moves, you fall constantly. I was out on Saturday working on my latest project and I probably fell twenty times. Honnold worked Freerider extensively and no doubt fell a lot while getting it all dialed in.

As a climber, you aren't very well informed. Dozens of rock climbers do not die free soloing every year. Honnold's solo of El Cap is arguably the greatest outdoor sports feat ever. Of course it's going to be publicised.

Wonderful to hear. Please continue to post. How much of your fat intake is saturated? I greatly increased my saturated fat intake and saw the associated quality of life improvements you'd expect (included increased free testosterone).

Got it, good that you are on top of it. As for protein, it depends on your activity level and so forth. There is good evidence to suggest that everyone should strive for roughly 120 grams/day. If you are involved with eg a strength spo

Soylent is definitely not a "protein shake". Quite the opposite, which is one reason why it's not taken seriously by athletes.

Are you referring to their phytic acid content? If so, this concern is way overblown, unless you are eating eg a lot of brown rice. OP, depending on how much protein you're adding, your smoothie is pretty great except it has the same p

The Appalachian Trail isn't wilderness. I recall reading somewhere that by some definition related to road building (if memory serves) there is no true wilderness in the lower 48. Alaska is it for the US, at least by that particular de

There is massive anthropological and biological evidence to suggest that animals and "stuff you pick up" (seeds and so forth) are the original human diet. On a personal note, I was a vegetarian and later a vegan for a decade and I

That is incorrect. Once you account for infant mortality, life expectancy at birth dropped with the advent of agriculture. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_expectancy That said, diet probably isn't as crucial

Yes, exactly. The Apple Pencil is incredible, by the way. The experience is comparable in my mind to using the original iPhone for the first time. Apple should market the hell out of the 12.9" iPad Pro to artists.
