Have not seen the full movie, just a clip but being a very active climber yrs past, this guy is a incredible climber.
First off, he has probably climbed this route hundreds of times, spent a lot of time on the hard sections to work out the moves before even attempting to free solo it. He is a very disciplined climber and knows every move like the back of his hand.
Yes, he is very unusual as a person, not many people have the mental strength and physical ability to do what he has done.
piscator, I did all my climbing in the 70-80's and no, I have never seen anyone climbing nude but I guess we were not in fashion in the NW.
