Track saw and climbing shoes.

Yeah maybe since they are kind of hiding some of the war costs. But it’s definitely less than what Ukraine is spending.

I’d argue at least a number of the belligerents need to have switched to a war economy and then simultaneously span multiple continents.

Maybe only Ukraine right now is in a war economy?

Yeah they caused the problem but they won’t be able to solve it at this point. It’s not like they could just go and redraw the lines.

Does anyone know if there’s a place I can watch this? I’ve done some cursory searches before but didn’t find any full races.

But the route is The Dawn Wall which is a trad route with some bolts.

Top roping has almost no impact forces. For lead/sport climbing that he’s doing there are quite a bit more forces. But it’s still safe if you handle it correctly and don’t swing too far.

I believe the route might also be partly trad, where you have to place your own safety into the rock itself without the help of bolts.

He is free climbing. He’s not using things like a ladder to climb.

He’s not free soloing, which is done without a rope.

There’s also rope soloing where you use a rope but you don’t have a belayer and have to catch yourself on falls.

Is it this picture or this ledge? I believe his half dome assent was scary because he wasn’t fully prepared. However this specific picture was taken afterwards.

Room for parks!
