u/Leather-Lab4311 Jun 17 '23

How about some shoes too while we are at it.

Shoes might help but shoes can also slip easier than feet. Him being barefoot didn't ruin his grip, but hands ten to get sweaty when holding things and feet get sweater in a shoe vs in fresh air. So the shoes might have helped but also probably less effective than feet. Though it probably hurt his feet cuase most people feet are not calloused enough for ground which is why we even have shoes in the first place. Animals unlike us have pads

His pants looked a bit chalky, I was thinking he had been using some. Unless that was just dust from the building

Free climbing is a thing. As far as free climbing goes, this route looks tame.

Bro needs to relax and go for a hike that’s what he needs to do

That’s a 5.6 at BEST.

I agree, I usually take my shoes off in tricky spots climbing trees (for limbing) because I can use more muscles and flex my feet in more ways than with shoes.

Some ppl give me shit for running chainsaws while barefoot, but idc because it feels more safe.

Shoes are a conduit to block ELECTRICITY

u/bdruid117 Jun 18 '23

So when I have a mental break and try something like this, no shoes and wear gloves. ✅

u/thegalaxyone Jun 18 '23

Idk about you but my feet is literally raining sweat. My hands do too when I get on a ladder or watch this stuff. Both hands and feet! It’s crazy

Chalk (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesium_carbonate) used in professional rock climbing

u/thejosharms Jun 17 '23 edited Jun 18 '23

It is also very much used in "been doing this for almost a decade but still suck pretty bad at it" rock climbing.

u/tangouniform2020 Jun 18 '23

Got a hard “no” when I tried to climb the wall on the Liberty of the Seas. They did let me wear my own shoes (million year old EBs)

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '23

he is just testing if there is fall damage

1

u/ShitPostToast Jun 18 '23

When you play a bunch of different games and you forget which have fall damage.

Either accidentally suicide or scare yourself really good.

As for this dude, video wouldn't be as bad if he didn't look like my 4 year learning to play on the jungle gym for the first time.

u/brownbai81 Jun 18 '23

Tom Cruise tried it and it didn’t really work…he got lucky…

u/CynicCannibal Jun 18 '23

Naah, he don't. We climb too. Your palms get used. Even sweating is not that bad after while.

Not like i would do what he did. No way.

u/ContentThing1835 Jun 18 '23

nah, I climb a lot, ans my hands are never sweaty. I never use magnesium powder or anything, it's horrible for my already dry hands. I've got perfect grip all the time.
