How does he make money?I don't imagine there are many climbing factories out there.
>>152167749He made millions off his movie. He's set for life
>>152167749Selling his magic sticky fraud powder
I don't know who this gentlemen is.
>>152167749lived in a van until he made money from >>152167769pretty based to be fair he would have been basically been doing the same thing with his life either way money or not
>>152167797He climbed some hard climb without ropes
>>152167769>>152167806Some obscure documentary earned him generational wealth?Even blockbuster actors keep making movies till they're old.
>>152167851>keep making movies till they're oldthat's because they but stupidly high maintenance stuff like mansions, sports cars and yachts, anyone who made a couple mil is set for life if they know how to use their money wisely instead of spending it off like a retard
>>152167851>>152167865oh, and also divorce rape
>>152167851Yeah if you live modestly. Look at Daniel day Lewis
>>152167749rock climbing is a sport for fag rich kids, and theres a lot of money in sponsors.
>>152167749>Made millions from his movie>Endorses some climbing gear>Low maintenance enough that he's happy living in a van full-time but bought a house just because his wife didn't want to live in a van full-time.
>>152167942>look at the most acclaimed actor of our generationyou sir are retarded
>>152167851That's mostly because they spend all their money on stupid shit and don't invest. It's the same thing with a lot of pro athletes who earn tens to hundreds or millions of dollars in their playing days and then are dead broke at 45
>>152167749Sponsors, besides what he made with free solo movie every once in a while these high caliber climbers come out with a well curated mini documentary sposored by brands like la sportiva, scarpa, black diamond, arc'teryx etc. so they keep racking up some good sum by just getting filmed while living the life and climbing nice stuff.
>>152167749Hasn't he died recently?
>>152169398something something mike tyson
>>152167865they're set for life if they live in a shitty apartment, barely doing anything, driving a shitty car only when necessary etcit's obvious when you've got money that you won't be satisfied doing the bare minimum for life just because you don't have to work anymore
>>152167749Basically everywhere he climbs gets destroyed by the film crews air hammering so many holes and shit.
>>152167749Is he even in the public eye anymore? Does anything even remotely big-time for the public?I'm asking because /sp/ is the only place where I ever see him mentioned.
>>152169470that was another one who also had a movie
>>152167749>climbs for years without serious injuries>gets a whiff of pussy>immediately falls off a wall
>>152167851>obscure documentarywell, it did win the Oscar
have you ever watch Free Solo? someone asks him that questionhe said is comfortable financially, people assume he is a bum because he lived in a van but he said that is mostly for convenience
>>152169992Love makes you dumb
>>152169992Semen retention is real.
>>152167749He looks like the blackopscel
>>152167851why would you need generational wealth to do that shit? a dentist could do it
>>152167749I always imagine people who do this kind niche sports shit for a living are frugal if not van/rv focused life simply for the love of it. That or they have normal ass jobs
>>152169470You're probably thinking of Ueli Steck
