The ballsiest thing ever done

Sammy Carlsons switch ski ramp?

iFlipThe only possible answer to this thread is Alex Honnold's freesolo of Freerider on El Cap. I cannot think of anything else that comes close.

I get why you said that, but I'm not sure it qualifies. I usually think being brave more or less, and being brave as doing something even though it scares you shitless, I'm sure that Alex was nervous leading up to the climb, but his whole philosophy about climbing comes down to staying calm and relaxed and controlling his emotions so he doesn't get scared. Which makes his climbs more of an impressive feat of mental power than one of bravery. Not trying to downplay what he has done though, the guy is a legend

I agree, i think ballsyness always has an aspect of unprepairedness

I can get behind that idea.
