My Greatest FREE SOLO Climbing Experience

  • My hardest free solo climb so far!
    A few weeks ago I climbed this route with a climbing partner and I was so amazed by the rock quality and the exposure that I told myself " I'm gonna free solo that one day".
    And soon after that I got the itch and I really wanted to do it already. I was feeling confident, so I packed my bag and did it the next day.
    It was such an insane experience, and the fog/wind made it so much more epic and extreme.
    I'm thankful for the experience and looking forward to new adventures!
    Route info: Štruca - Pesem ptic trnovk, 160m, V+
    DO NOT TRY TO RECREATE ANYTHING YOU SEE IN THE VIDEO!
    I am a trained professional, and I do not recommend free soloing to anyone.

    Man, be safe and keep focus on every (!) move. Develop your deep inside focus and patience. Also, seems like you are always boosting speed in the end of the route, maybe you should think about it and control your desire to finish. We all understand what a great inspiration is Alex Honnold and other unique climbers, but his is so damn accurate and he is always moving with a stable speed and every move focus. Maybe you wanted to finish faster because of the wind and cold, but still, the cost of any possible mistake is critical. Good luck.

      @@Gjudxdkjyzddhjnr7091 this guy doesn’t seem to have enough real mountain experience and he’s not even so skilled as a climber. Yes, I think he has much to learn.

      @@iosonoleggendo correct me if I'm wrong but it feels like one should be pretty confident with the route and moves before going for a free solo. In several places he was feeling around trying to find the right moves and how to advance. Like grabbing a hold, then bailing on that, grabbing another hold, then bailing on that too, then going back to the original hold before using a third one to actually do the move.

      You ever heard of fog?
      You know, when it's a perfectly sunny day, and fog rises from the valley...
      Well spoiler alert... it can't rain from fog.
      And guess what. Weather forecast also exists, where you can actually see if it will rain or not.
      And don't you think I checked the weather at least 10 times in the upcoming days before the climb?
      The route was levels below my max. My max is 7c, this route was a V+.
      I've climbed hundreds of long trad/alpine routes, and this free solo was safer than any kind of climbing in loose rock with a rope.
      But all you think is "rope means security"... Which in fact is sometimes the opposite.
