Hiker?!
âHikerâ? They didnât walk to the top. You mean âclimberâ.
This tier of climber are insanely tough in their hands, not just muscle strength but bone density from all those impacts and torsions.
There was a guy who climbed the WTC in the early 80âs. I watched this on some tv show, probably Thatâs Incredible or Real People, and he was demonstrating chin ups with a single pinky.
Vertical hiking.
That guyâs a âhikerâ like Bill Gates has âsome moneyâ.
those hi-res photos are amazing.
man, what a story.
Itâs an amazing âhobbyâ. I had to remind myself that free climbing and free soloing are two different things. Both are insane, one just seems also stupid. But then I think from the climberâs perspective and realize that some people really know how to feel alive.
I had started to learn to climb before injuring my hand late last year. I think the modicum of knowledge I have about what heâs doing only makes me want to scream and hide under a blanket all the more.
âHe cut off his index finger with a table saw, got it reattached, and then removed againâ
I hope this doesnât become a trend, like body mod or piercings.
Uh, I think the missing finger thing is not the most interesting part of Tommy Caldwellâs biography.
