Oh there’s a lot of reward. But you only get it for a few minutes. I know, wait, I knew a guy that used to do this stuff.

I watched this and said, "Why? Just why?' At my phone.
Like I get the appeal of a wing suit, but the risk to reward for this stunt is insane

There’s literally an Oscar award winning documentary about Alex Honnold free climbing El Cap. It got more coverage than almost any extreme sport.

The movie makes a point to question his motivation and suggests there’s something different about his brain. It also shows how conflicted his girlfriend is about his choices. I don’t think the film glorifies free climbing much, in fact it makes it seem like you kinda have to be an a-hole to do that stuff

The athletes wearing the flying squirrel suits make the most amazing and terrifying videos.

BASE jumping the bunny hill of BASE jumps 3 times was enough for me. Licensed skydiver, 475 jumps.
