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.
there is a risk to prestige ratio. In the end of the day....you win nothing other than bragging rights.
And then...you got people risking their lives to do relatively cool stuff...like a hand stand on top of a cliff.
And people risking their live for shit that is not really the impressive to begin with . Like planking (if you remember) on top of a cliff.
And then you got unskillled idiots pulling stupid stunts.
Like that chinese man that was hanging off of a rooftop but could barely do a pull up...and fell to his death like a bitch.
