It may (or not) be selfish, but free soloing is impressive.

I find myself freaking out two feet above a bomber cam sometimes. Free soloists have really learned the essence of climbing, which is controlling the mind. Regardless of its implications beyond climbing, that alone is impressive to me.

Photo cred goes to Kevin Worrall.
