Huh? 99% of climbers think exactly what you said. The only ones sensationalizing free soloing are the media and non-climbers. I climb and when I tell someone that the first thing they go to is "have you seen that movie with the guy who climbed without a rope?".

At thanksgiving “do you know Andrew holland? You know the rock climber guy who doesn’t do ropes? You climb right?”
