minus-squareCookieOfFortune@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 hours agoHe 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.
