I get nervous on a 10 foot ladder cleaning my skylights. I could never do that.

This is a little set up...as when he passes the other guy on the ledge and all of a sudden the camera changes positions. It's implying that he climbed this all at once when in fact it was a start and stop affair with different cameras set up.

Also, if it was a true "free climb" he wouldn't be carrying all that gear with him also. But through editing we didn't see him actually using it, just carrying it.

Still, you couldn't pay me to do that either.

NTB: You are thinking of free solo climbing . . that's when you climb without any protection whatsoever. There are quite a few segments where you see him clipping into bolts, using bolt ladders and placing traditional protection.

I'd die in this situation. I always get vertigo, get dizzy and let go of stuff when am up high.
