Rock climbing or mountain climbing has always been an integral part of adventure sports. The amount of adrenaline rush that these adventure sports provide is extraordinary. However, recently a new technique of mountain climbing  “free solo” is being employed by climbers.

Free solo is a type of climbing where there are no ropes attached to the climber’s body, so it makes it vastly risky for anyone to attempt. Recently, a woman lost her life in the same free solo rock climbing attempt.

A woman falls from 500 feet to her death

A woman whose identity remains undisclosed has been reported to have fallen off the Rocky Mountain National Park during a climbing activity where she was implying the free solo technique to climb the mountains. She fell from 500 feet and she couldn’t survive that fall, and her male accomplice reported to the rescue agencies. She was already gone before any help could arrive.

Free Solo uses a technique where the climber uses a climbing chalk, without any other sort of climbing protection and they try to conquer the cliff. There is a recent death in the area and this one now makes it two and climbing from this technique is questionable.
