Many of the routes were in Kentucky’s Red River Gorge and had little margin for error-an overhanging 5.12 could be as steep as the underside of a church dome a vertical 5.12 might have grips the width of a dime’s edge. I followed along as he soloed 19 different 5.12’s, a grade that many people spend their lives trying to climb with a rope on. If he came upon a roped party, he’d toss a candy bar in their direction. When he went out soloing, for example, he kept mini Snickers in his puppy-dog-shaped chalk bag. His death-defying behavior was complemented by a fun-loving temperament. I began following Howell on Instagram, where he went by was an enigmatic character, and I found it difficult to look away from his antics. But I was also unsettled, filled with a kind of macabre awe.

I was blown away by the absurdity of the video, which struck me as one part Free Solo, one part Jackass.
#VIMEO NAKED TRUTH CRACK#
I’d been climbing for five years and was then preparing to take a crack at the 3,000-foot Nose route on El Capitan in Yosemite. I remember seeing the clip when it came out. His frizzy shoulder-length locks and the hat, which he was rarely without, belied the quickly thinning hair atop his head. Howell, then 27, was a sinewy string bean with a permanent dirtbag scruff of a beard. Titled “ Free Soloing with a Hat,” the video enjoyed a viral moment in the climbing corners of the internet when its subject, Austin Howell, shared it on Vimeo in April 2015. The clip, just 1 minute 56 seconds long, ends with a still frame of the climber looking back at the camera and flipping the bird. All he’s got on is a gray newsboy cap. A twangy guitar lick comes in, followed by the lyrics: You can’t kill me / I will not die / Not now, not ever / No never/ I’m gonna live a long, long time / My soul raves on forever. Aside from eschewing clothes and a rope, the climber is also barefoot. He’s out of his damn mind.”Īs the camera zooms out, it becomes clear that the soloist is hundreds of feet off the deck. He’s soloing, climbing this route, naked, without a rope. “What in the world,” the guy filming says.
