Nothing compares that I can think of. As I write this, I am sitting in my office not 5 minutes by foot from Maverick's, possibly the scariest big wave surf spot on earth. Those guys fall all the time and go out for more. Not those climbers.

I used to climb a lot, but with a rope. If I didn't have a rope, I would stop when a fall would result in a sprained ankle or an owie on my knee.
