I know someone who hiked into a rock climb in wales for 60 minutes. Unpacked their gear at the base of the route, and sat down to eat a sandwich before their multi-pitch climb. They heard a doppler shifted "baaaaaahhhhh"- splat. A sheep cratered between them, flat as a pancake. Looked at each other.They said nothing. Wordlessly started packing their and bailed on the route, because a higher power was CLEARLY sending them a message.

Fun facts: mountain goat and sheep (different families actually) have very vertical and pointy hooves that are able to spread out (think of doing the Vulcan hand sign) this allows them to wedge their hooves into small gaps and grip onto small protrusions. Also squirrels can basically fall from any height and survive because they are so light that by flattening out their body and tail they are able to parachute themselves down at a controllable speed.

The sentiment he sums up at 4:20 is exactly how I domesticate stray cats. I have a lil sanctuary set up in my garage. Food water, heated houses, cat towers. The street cats come in cause I leave the door open/have a cat door then I start closing the door on them, testing their reactions. Eventually they know the trade.. food, water safety, a luxury bathroom. I just can't leave. When they choose house cat life I start looking for a home for them. Kittens are the easiest ofc but no cats too far gone. A house ain't a house to a cat with it's freedom when you close that door sometimes, it becomes a trap and you gotta work on them, but they all come around. I've found 15 cats homes like this though since like 2019 I've spent god knows how much money on these poor stray cats. Spend all my time on them. The stim checks helped a lot money wise. It's a good cause but it's so hard to give it my everything and still come up short.

The kitten couldn’t walk for a week but I ofc took it in after that. He blacked out, I rushed said cop. The coward ran inside and used his 2 year old as a meat shield. He then called in a bunch of false domestic complaints to my house, and then went pressed charges that I “ threatened him “ which I didn’t unless he can read minds. Courts October 4th. Wish me luck🙏

@montananerd8244 10 месяцев назад

I quit bouldering because i am weak and have low threshhold for risk, but i love watching it! I do think there is something incredibly powerful about navigating the natural world, rather than just the infrastructure atop it. I took friends out on the prairie to a historic large rock formation. We got a bit lost since i took the wrong road, but then i saw it about 10 miles north & wasable to reroute (pre GPS). They live in a big city and were nearly in tears to be having an experience seeing something outside, somewhat far away, and finding it. I grew up this way so 🤷‍♀️ but they were very moved to have such a fundamental human experience. I dont think they understood that there were just 2 roads, we were not really navigating much, but they were so happy. They broke down in tears to see a landscape with just a couple new things added since 1805, i thought i had upset them! We need to be IN natural landscapes with purpose, the experience connects us to all the other humans before us.

@bcwbcw3741 10 месяцев назад

With sports, there is often a difference between the apparent danger of something and the real danger with some things seeming much more dangerous than they are and others that kill people that are doing things that feel safe. Whitewater kayaking seems more dangerous that it is (for people with the right equipment and some skills) because water tends to flow around stuff. Skiing is more dangerous then it seems because you can go fast and rocks and trees are rocks and trees. Not sure where to put climbing.

@Dee-nonamnamrson8718 10 месяцев назад

Climbing is unbelievably safe if you are on sport routes.

@UnleashedTraining101 10 месяцев назад

Climbing is pretty safe, depending on what you’re doing. I’m into bouldering, so if I miss and fall, the worst of my injuries is generally a few skin scrapes on the way down. Free soloing El Capitan would be just a tad more risky

@ieism1 10 месяцев назад

I've done a lot of these sports, and the way I look at it is 'what happens if it goes wrong'. Free Solo, ok you're probably done. Skiing into a tree sucks, but I survived it with minor injuries. Something like speedflying or paragliding is not as bad as it seems. I've lost the most friends to avalanches, that's a game over scenario most of the time and takes the most skill to avoid.

Please ask Alex to comment on the scene near the end of "House that Jack Built" - the main character is going to Hell, but he is given one last chance to escape, he has to do a free-solo climbing traverse, or fall in to the deepest hell. He is told that no one has ever succeeded, he tries nevertheless and falls. Maybe Alex can comment, how hard that traverse looks, and if he could escape Hell.

I'd go storm-chasing in a dominator LOOOONNNGGG before I even remotely consider free soloing. At least in a dominator, my given probability of certain death isn't 100% per error most of the time. And even in a worst case scenario storm chasing, I might get cut up, bruised, or broken bones, but not absolute certain death in the vast majority of cases.
