Intense Free Solo in Yosemite By The Legend, Dean Potter

I just figured it out: Free soloing is easier than other ways to climb because you don't have to carry any heavy ropes or gear. 😀 😎

If this video had been shot decades earlier, I would swear that it must have been THE inspiration for Kubrick's prologue to "2001".

This is actually a fake background, the camera has been turned sideways and the lad is merely fake climbing on a horizontal rock. That’s the way me see’s it, I think.

Is that resin, or superglue he puts on his hands?

Do they call it “of heaven” because it’s the quickest route to the afterlife?

what is crap videographers !! does not even capture the surrounding depth of the valley. They made him look like he was bouldering, Honnold's clip is captured much better

Fuck that

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
These guys won a pretty big award.

Hes just pretending the rock is actually on its side and the camera man is doing all the work...

The only human known to have bigger balls than Honnold.

Awesome

Rockstar

He celebrates then slips off the top

Success: Caveman noises
Failure: Death

kinda amazing

Is he wearing boat shoes?

Who tf is digging minecraft dirt blocks

Yess broo 🙌👏 I died 😭🤣yaaaa yesss ahhhh

No common sense not impressed

R.I.P. ... he died in a wing suit accident.

Rip dean potter:(

I could do that.

nice but can he do elcap like Alex having no ropes?

“He died doing what he loved.” I doubt he loved hurtling toward the ground in a wing suit.

Today I did 80m of grade 3 free solo and I shit my pants. Then I see this guy or others...

Why?

Is it bad that I clicked on this video just to see if there would be any Harry potter jokes in the comments?

RIP Dean

Look at the end though. Like, where tf is he going to go... that mountain went on forever 🤣

I bet he wished he stopped.

Just sayin.

What if he slipped and fell whilst celebrating

Real true superhero

The climber Catherine Dstivelle climbed much harder and higher cliffs she climbed the Devil's Rock without a safety rope at all,

-after he successfully topped the cliff, the cameraman should have panned down

God bless you, Dean! You were as close to Superman as it gets! You amazed me, RIP brave man!

Those cheering mountain goats..

His death in no way diminishes his accomplishments. BALLS OF STEEL.

COOL!!!

He is amazing and stupid at the same time. Guys like this will find a way to die! If your going to do this its great but for gods sake tie off up above! It's like death waiting for you. All that needs to happen is one snake bite or one animal crawling into the area he is climbing to throw him off. I admire his skill but car for his well being!

Unique !

It just takes one mistake

salut untuk anda....mantap.

How deep is this underneath ? It looks like like a 50° rock below

What a masculine man, amazing

……..💪💪👏👏👏👍👍👍…….un grande !🧐….🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤😎😎😎

Dean Potter was one of a kind.. he had a real skill at what he did. Wish he was still with us making and breaking records. RIP Dean 👍🏾

If only dozens if not hundreds of ROPE CLIMBERS didn't create the "routes" the "free climbers" ascend "unassisted" years and decades prior they might be actually "legendary".

un bel abruti !

I watched Dean solo the face of El Cap in 2001 from the meadow.
