Hangin' On!!


This mountain climber is moving around a difficult bit of rock as he climbs a mountain using the 'free solo climbing' method. This means climbing by yourself using no ropes or protection systems at all. Because these climbers are looking for challenges and because they have no backup safety ropes their mistakes are often fatal.
Research has shown that people who seek these kinds of potentially fatal thrills have brains that work differently than those people who would never try this type of activity.
Climbers like this must be in very good shape and know what they are doing to be successful.
