Free solo climbing

Free solo climbing is a form of rock climbing where the climber ascends without the use of ropes, harnesses, or safety equipment, relying solely on their strength, skill, and mental focus. This style emphasizes complete commitment and precision, as any fall can result in severe injury or death. Climbers often choose challenging or iconic routes, performing climbs that showcase their technical ability and mental resilience. Because of its inherent risks, free soloing is generally undertaken only by highly experienced climbers, and it is considered one of the most demanding and dangerous forms of the sport.
