High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Free solo climbing, also known as free soloing, is a form of free climbing where the climber (the free soloist) forgoes ropes, harnesses and other protective gear while ascending and relies only on his or her physical strength, climbing ability, and psychological fortitude to avoid a fatal fall. Free solo climbing should not be confused with general free climbing, in which gear is typically used for safety in case of a fall, but not to assist the climb. Less risky alternatives to free soloing include bouldering, climbing at heights low enough that a fall would typically be safe and typically making use of a bouldering mat to cushion a potential fall. Another alternative is deep water soloing, climbing where falling would result in falling into water. Free soloing on sea cliffs can still be dangerous due to the combination of risks such as loose rock, tides, submerged boulders, and difficulty of rescue.
