Skydiving is scarier than free solo climbing

Skydiving is actually a good example... I found that pretty scary. I wasn't at all scared [climbing]. Skydiving... it's just so fast and frantic and... there's a lot of stimulus... you're like, Oh my God, I'm falling out of a plane. I think that's scary.

I will likely never free solo at a high level again for the rest of my life

I don't know if I'll always be free-soloing at a high level. In fact, I mean, I doubt I'll be free-soloing at a high level my whole life... if I went the rest of my life without free soloing anything else at a high level, I'm sure I could still lead a happy life.
