    Watched this last week, and caught half of it again last night on C4.

    Unbelievable feat. I couldn't shake a niggling feeling that the documentary was putting him under serious pressure personally to do something that he knew had every chance of killing him. Sure, he may have done it anyway eventually, but I believe he felt he owed it to the guys who had filmed him for years.

    Have been watching stuff like this on Youtube since.

    I’m watching it again ! I’m amazed at the strength he has in his fingers and toes !
    Holding his weight on them on a sheer 80*or so cliff !! He did seem under , not pressure but obligation to do the climb.
    I’m guessing that’s who bought his new house. 3rd time watching it and I still get scared at some of the shots

    the level of planning was awesome , every movement seemed to have been pre planned and thought out.

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer
