He's right about free soloing. You should never turn it into a competition based on egos. That will just push more people to push too hard/far and end up dead. Free soloing should only be done waaaay below your limit.
I love the weightless, self relying discipline of soloing. I've only had big mistakes while climbing with gear. I just forgot to finish my tie in knot after 8 years of doing it! I thought it'd never happen to me! Worrying about falling and expensive gear and rounding up a partner is really a pain in the ass! Soloing easy stuff is the way!
What a humble, down to earth dude.

Near fatal climbing accident then make the change to free solo. Makes perfect sense.
Will is such a great guy... :)

it is probably an error to solo something mainly because it has been soloed by some well known person.
I'm going to squamish this weekend!!!
Geez, how high are these guys?
depends on which wall they are climbing ^^
Probably at least a little ;) I'm jealous.
total fatal system error in head at end
I free solo with one arm.
John Tate you play the piano?
No, but I do shell the rock face where the climbers go up. The cannon balls just loosen the rocks a little. It makes every climb a new challenge.
John Tate i solo with only mi feet
