Watch legendary rock and urban climber Alain Robert (often called "The French Spider-Man") casually stop to rest his arms in the middle of a climb at age 60 while in leather rock star pants. He's hundreds of feet above the ground hanging onto a tiny ledge, and meanwhile, he looks as relaxed as someone leaning against a fence. Did I mention he isn't connected to any kind of harness or rope?
The craziest part is how effortless he makes this look. He moves so naturally that it's almost easy to forget he's scaling the side of a cliff. It's as if gravity isn't a thing that applies to him.
Robert has been doing this kind of thing for decades, scaling skyscrapers and cliffs around the world with the same laid-back calm. I have a feeling that I was more nervous watching the video than he felt while actually climbing. My palms start sweating just watching him adjust his grip while he casually pauses to rest in midair.
