I wouldn't dream of attempting something like that with the assistance of ropes and/or suction pads never mind without; however, the dividing line between bravery and madness is often a fine one and for me this crosses the boundary!

Yep, amazing programme. I've watched it more than once and it always fucks my head up how Alex Honnold can do what he does (mentally as well as physically).

Free climbing the Shard. Piece of cake.

It's amazing that he done it but completely selfish in the fact that if he was to fall he could easily kill someone else walking below !

Some people are just wired differently I reckon, plus there's Urbach-Wiethe disease which actually destroys the bit of your brain responsible for fear.
