Yeah great..they can climb a cliff face without a rope, I put them in the same catagory as people who jump in front of trains....one day someone will have to scrape their body off of something solid!!!
Im sure theyre family and friends sleep really well at night...just waiting for that phone call.
Sorry...just my opinion.... :?
Do you think the same every time somebody walks down the path, drives a car or rides a bike.
All three are accidents waiting to happen and kill people everyday.
Riding 20 year old bikes that have fatigue people cannot see should be put in a similar danger category to the climber
I don't think you can put those three examples in the same bracket as climbing several thousand feet up a rock face!!!!!!!!
Give me three more that have the same RISK as what these people do....bet you cant...
I would imagine 3 similar activities would be;
1. Cave Diving
2. Base Jumping / Proximety Flying
3. Road racing on motorbikes eg Isle of Man TT
I don't think soloing and jumping in front of a train fall into the same category; soloing is a joyous expression of skill and mind over matter whereas the other doesn't involve much joyousness or indeed skill in dodging the train.
