Matt Bush, free solo specialist, made South Africa a kind of second home. There he finds lines, projects and dreams to climb in this style, loved or rejected as non-example. What is certain is that climbers like Alex Honnold or Jordi Salas don\u2019t seem freaked out, unable to control emotions or adrenaline junkies.
\nLike them, in Matt\u2019s solo is the environment, the awareness of being part of it, to make sense of the climb. \u201cWe can play with measurements in soccer or rugby or cricket because we create the rules,\u201d says Bush. \u201cBut nature has its own rules. How do you measure nature? And why the need to quantify and qualify \u2013 for one\u2019s ego or satisfaction? To gauge personal progress? It seems to have less and less relevance for me. A greater motivation is my love for what I do. How does one measure the free solo experience, anyway? It\u2019s free. It\u2019s free solo. It doesn\u2019t have a border or boundary or barrier.\u201d
\nIn this land of strong colors and the wide open spaces, for years Matt performs spectacular climbs for example in Waterval Boven, Montagu and to Table Mountain, which has also opened routes as Simplicity (7b) or Synapse Direct (7b+) on the Table Mountain.
\nThe Soloist collects sequences of his performance and the one minute\u2019s trailer really sweating hands and shake your wrists.
