How many of the world's great solos are just because someone isn't getting any?
I know most of my biggest, baddest and stupidest solos were when I was a frustrated solo dog, how about the rest of you?

You can glorify dying doing what you love, but either way you're dead and you don't get to do what you love anymore and you hurt those who care about you.
If you can't tell, I've mellowed out quite a bit since I got into a serious relationship with a girl who rock climbs, caves, writes music, and is a right winged religious fundamental wacko (RWRFW) like myself.
That kind of girl is hard to find.
I once went on and on about some young kid that augered in at Stolby, a life cut short.
Werner told me to stop being a pussy.
"Those men know how to live AND DIE." He said with assurance.
I accepted the rebuke and incorporated the lesson.
Werner cleans up failed free soloists for a living. Unique perspective, his.
Don't be a pussy,.

The article described the reasons some of the top male climbers in the world did hard, dangerous routes solo. It wasn't because they weren't getting any but because they just went through a hard break up.

lol I can add supporting data to this study.
Tackling daring (stupid) challenges is something people do when they just.don't.care. They tend to care by the end of it, though.
