Are you thinking of Alex Honnold as the OT hero?

I was definitely assuming Honnold and was shocked it wouldn't have been bigger news.

Ok, you depend on carabiners and rope for security and then don't tie a big ole knot at the bottom of the rope to stop your downward trajectory?

Speed killed.

It's not as if safety gear will be invented in the next decade because it already exists.

Sounds like he wasn't free climbing. I'm not sure what they're talking about but a rope is mentioned.
