Don’t need to be a professional cook to know when food is bad.
Same that I don’t need to be a professional mountain climber to know the only incredible thing about it is how incredible dumb this guy is for being so dangerous.
Yeah there’s quite a few commenters in here who obviously know nothing about this guy. For one, he’s not an adrenaline junkie. People ought to watch a documentary or some interviews with the guy before they start slinging labels at him.
Everyone has different risk tolerance. Judging and denigrating others because theirs is higher (or lower) is a bit silly when it doesn’t impact anyone else. (Pedants - this does not apply to things that could harm others, put your keyboards down)
I commuted in city traffic and rode around in the mountains on motorcycles for almost 20 years, I scuba dive regularly, I’ve rappelled down mountains and out of helicopters. I ski a lot, and I like going fast down the mountain. Sometimes I get hurt doing these things, that’s part of life. Some people I know think I’m nuts, but to me none of this stuff is particularly dangerous. I’m sure Alex feels the same way about his hobby. He’s literally one of the best climbers in the world so I wouldn’t presume to question his judgement. Rest assured he’s not YOLO’ing anything, he prepares intensely for his climbs.
And then the people in here saying he should stop doing the thing he’s loved doing for decades because he has kids now just make me shake my head. Since when did people have to get put in bubble wrap once they procreated? That dude has more than provided for his kids.
New list of activities in which you can no longer participate if you have crotch fruit:
Mountain climbing. You can see all that stuff on National Geographic anyway.
Any type of scuba diving, especially cave diving! Actually just stay out of the ocean, it’s dangerous!
Flying helicopters. Just no.
Any Army, Navy, Coast Guard, or Marine Corps service. Air Force is still ok.
Riding in any motor vehicle without a flame retardant racing suit and full face helmet. Try to keep trips short and never ride in a motor vehicle within 10 miles of your home because that’s where most accidents happen.
Going hiking when it’s going to be a bit hot out. Or a bit cold out. In fact just stay out of the woods, it’s dangerous!
See how ridiculous this is? Live your life. You’ll regret the things you didn’t do.
I love reading judgy comments from people sitting on their ass watching a stranger do something incredible.
Eh, some of us climb. Using ropes. I’m no where near as good as him, so I want safety. If I were as good as him? Still want that safety.

You’re fucking boring
You’re saying it as if it were a bad thing.
I’ll just do some coke at home thanks
Almost as bad as sitting on your ass being mad and making comments about people making comments about someone doing something incredible.
You’re right its incredibly dumb as fuck
