Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

The article says that he was the first person to free solo the Dawn Wall, which is false. He wasn't the first to climb it, and he didn't free solo it either.

Tommy Caldwell was the first person to climb it, and nobody has free soloed it, and the likelihood of anyone ever doing that is basically zero.

Ooh, energy of the gods, adrenaline surge

Won't stop 'til I hit the ground, I'm on my way for sure

Up here in the air, this will never hurt

I'm on my way to impact, taste the high-speed dirt
