Prime Movers

A free-solo climb is as extreme as you can get when it comes to mountain-climbing.

-No ropes.

-No nothing.

-3,000 feet straight up.

-You slip and fall…

-You die.

In my opinion, this is the greatest athletic achievement in the history of humanity. Bigger than anything by Babe Ruth/Ty Cobb/Hank Aaron; than Michael Jordan/Magic Johnson/Larry Bird; than Tom Brady/Joe Montana; or even Pele/Messi/Ronaldo. And as good as Steph Curry is at shooting baskets from Mars, this is a one-time life-or-death three thousand point shot.
