Since the PCT is closed for the most part thought about rock climbing as I like to climb. Within reason. Worlds best Climber.

I just wouldn't risk it the way he did.  And many others do but I get it like those surfers that want to take on the ultimate and just feel invincible. 

I have felt the rush in life where I can do anything others fear with my coordination and athletic ability.  That feeling, one can't get it unless one does it and has that experience like so many times in life.  I felt let down that I didn't accomplish something I wanted to the way I wanted to challenging myself and a shroomery person, doesn't matter who posted it, wrote at least you did it.  And other words that helped me see my arrogance.  How often to we push ourselves to stupid levels to prove something to ourselves?  That was no easy task for anyone as was this but in a different way.

Changed my perspective a bit.  Really though this is insane.  I get it to a degree.  But still, don't agree with his way of going about it.  In a lot of ways.  Icarus.  Arrogance. 

When one gets older for those that do through nature or massive drug usage or both, heroic doses in physical and spiritual not the garbage as it gets rid of it. That is challenging and also, within reason.

I don't know.  In my life experience I feel protected to a point, like row the boat but prepare before.  Not just pray and here I go!  That is so stupid to me.  Not that he did, just a lot of people think that way.  Prep, practice, and if one wants to pray good for you, have nothing against it.

I live in Utah.  Many don't think that way.  But on to this mans story as, was quite amazing to me.  That takes balls.  People like that you know are just going one way out in the world.  I don't agree with it but to each their own.  I've had my experiences in different ways and want my ashes spread in my favorite place when that time comes but with him and his life experience, no.  Some humility but in the age of safety first in everything and the woke I still have sort of admiration for him.  I think that is all that meant anything in his life.  We all age and have our prime.  One can't keep doing that sort of thing when one is aged.
