You mean free soloists, but yeah.

@NVGator, I hate to go there on you again, but thread title is misleading.

Apparently free climbing uses ropes as safety equipment and free soloing uses no ropes at all.

But did he do Dragon style climbing technique or Tiger style climbing technique?

 

[rogdochar]

He used that multi-suction cup yoga-suit.
He needs a custom T-shirt saying "free climbers hate free fall"

I can't think of a single record that would top this. Maybe Usain Bolt's 100m record or a sub 3:00 mile. LeBron passes Jordan and everyone goes crazy.
