Mountain climbing is safer when you do it with a climbing partner.
If
you want to see something really crazy, something that might even
bring up some anxiety as you watch it, check out the documentary
called Free Solo. This is a National Geographic documentary about a
young rock climber named Alex Honnold. His dream was to climb this
3000 foot rock called El Capitan, in Yosemite National Park.
Just
climbing it is a great achievement for most rock climbers. But Alex
Honnold is not like most rock climbers. He wanted to do it without
any ropes, and without any safety equipment. That’s what “free
solo” climbing is. Alex planned and trained extensively for it. And
he was successful.
My
guest today is Dan. Dan loves to climb. One day he was out with his
friend and long-time climbing partner, Jim. It was a beautiful day
and they were having a great time.
That
was the day that Dan learned that when you’re on the mountain,
having a partner there with you can mean the difference between life
and death.
