The free soloist who fell to earth
quote:
Austin Howell soloed harder and more often than almost anyone else in the country, documenting his exploits on Instagram and a podcast. But behind the scenes his mental health was faltering.

So are we more sympathetic to this death than ones that occurred in a deep-diving submersible?

Good read. My brother was a climber, although he did not do much soloing. He can't do it anymore as he's lost strength in his left hand. I always worried about him getting overconfident.

I am more sympathetic to climbers. I know some climbers. I knew one that died on Everest.
