The body language is insane too. I stress more about what to make for breakfast than that guy does about footholds.

The good news is if he falls he'll have a nice cushion to land on. You know, what with the gigantic balls and all.

Crazy people. Also, 5.8 out of what?

Goes up to 5.15, I think. Basically, Class 5 means "if you fall, you die" for free-climbing, but can easily kill you even if you're using equipment.

How does 5.8 exist then?

I don't think it's meant to be a decimal representation, just a subdivision.
So 5.8, 5.9, 5.10, etc.
There's also apparently further divisions that add on lettering, so the highest is technically like a 5.15d or something.

I wouldn't do it with the safety ropes but with nothing that is insane confidence and physical shape and endurance to even attempt such a feat and unlike the safety rope guy he can't just lean back almost anywhere and take a break, the needs a real spot to rest but he likely does the entire thing in huge bursts of effort.
I'd hate to be the one to make that man fight since he might accidentally kill with that conditioning.

Yep, zero break...Even the look on his face as he passes....Priceless

5.8 is a rating based on the Yosemite system. The highest I've heard on that system was like 5.14 but that was years ago. Most average people will crap out after 20-40 feet on like a 5.7 due to lack of technique.

So...We still don't know what 5.8 out of "What" means then??

It doesn't really have a top. Assuming that the top is now as it was a couple of years ago, 5.14, someone will eventually "send" a route which will end up being ranked higher than 5.14 by concensus. Once you get up past 5.12 they started adding letters. Ex: 5.12a is easier than 5.12c. Its not very precise. I would also say its not smoothly linear. Meaning the diff between 5.12 and 5.14 is not linear. Its probably not exactly exponential either.
Now, you are probably saying "What a bullshit system." and you'd be right. But that's how it works.

Once you think you have it, I'll throw another variable into the mix. A 5.12 in a plastic gym in California is not the same as a 5.12 in Yosemite National Park is not the same as a 5.12 in The Red River Gorge.

How does he get back down? I used to top-rope, and reaching the top was just an easy rappel down. you free climb up, you need to free climb back down too. I think the down would be much harder than the up.

that is a good quote. But I am pretty sure there are also some cool quotes about people being cocky.
Riskier behavior does not necessarily mean that he is a better rock climber, but it definitely means that he is dumber.
The guys with the ropes may be far more skilled.

Perhaps, he seemed focused and skilled though.
But I will admit the activity doesn't do much good. If I were to risk my life recklessly I would prefer doing something with a potential large payoff. Like waging war or stealing rape slaves.
To this day I don't understand why most men will risk their lives for the stupidest shit, die in places like Afghanistan and then turn around and let their governments step all over them without a whimper of a fight.

envy: desire to have a quality, possession, or other desirable attribute belonging to (someone else).
God, I wish I was fucking idiot that would just impulsively climb without any safety gear and smear my way past someone who did because I wish I was fucking asshole too.
What kind of smooth brained, mouth breathing, tripled chromosomed, fuckhead would look up to that literal piece of shit?
