Macgyver on performance enhancers!
sammyismycat
Were they compression thermals? Yes? Ah then that explains it.
phgzz
I would had run 10 feet and rollover and die

Adrenaline, man. He probably ran faster than he ever did in his life up to that point.
gmlovera655
. Lord was watching after him that day.
WristDeepInaBook

MrGForce1888
This guy was ready to climb the biggest mountains

Watch the dawn wall on Netflix another amazing movie that has a similar story very inspiring
Dazedwombat
$100 says Marky Mark thinks he could start in this one too
NKato
And China didn't think to bring this up when they were being chummy with the Taliban?
hetnkik999
I sure wish FactRepublic had editors. Wtf does "knocked an attacker" mean. Did he knock him out? Knock him over? Tell him knock knock jokes?
YorkshirePudding
Shook his confidence
laiskamato
Knocked him up.

There’s an emergency line for almost being executed by the Taliban?

The emergency services there are basically military.

Reminds me of Tommy Caldwell
SomeOneHasBeenLookingForYou
Dawn wall was the superior documentary. 100%
SomeOneHasBeenLookingForYou
Dawn wall vs Free solo; should’ve clarified.
hyrulenpc
I think they're referring to when TC was captured by militants in Kyrgyzstan and ended up pushing a guy off a cliff to escape
SomeOneHasBeenLookingForYou
I mean, that WAS a pretty heavy and baller thing to do
EveryLieIsAnInsult
Superior to what? I've had it in my to watch list for ages and never got round to it.
SomeOneHasBeenLookingForYou
Iirc, at that immediate time it was Dawn wall and Free Solo as “the” climbing docu’ movies
Loadie25
Just like Cliffhanger only different

Watched it in the theater. Saw the briefcases. Cousin asked me how much I thought it was. Guessed it exactly. Still proud.

Good acting?
Ohhhhyeahhhhhhh
Criffhanger 2 or Fast and the Flurriest: Tokyo Snowdrift.
IDoPictureStuff
Its like having Cliffhanger at home
forestfart
I had the same thought! So true
SomeLikeItLikeThat
Thought you meant the Jacqueline Wilson book. Which yes, it's exactly like that, only different
pinkmansaidthebest
Those are some performance enhancing thermals. What kind?
TheMentallyillist
The kind with the trap door in the back.
SovietFaxMachine
ah the "union suit", I wear these in the winter sometimes.
itgoeshere
I'm going to go upvote another of your comments because this one was worth more than just one.

I thought the chinese were friends with the talibans?
SploogeMcDuck316
Chinese government.
dakkaffex
Just because the Chinese government is on good terms with them doesn't every Chinese citizens is. This man's a mountaineer, not a diplomat
CanadianPunster
That’s what they want you to think! /s
chloramphenicolderivative
It's also not like Taliban have clear lines of communications and set in stone foreign political objects. The reason they held out for 20
chloramphenicolderivative
years was because they were so decentralized.
dakkaffex
doesn't mean*
VaultGirl69
Maybe don't mountain climb in countries where there are foreign and domestic terrorists. Pakistan. Afghanistan. America.
lotrmith
I say we just give Afghanistan to China and see what happens.
VaultGirl69
China already has a strong presence in Africa these days. It seems the Biden admin is refocusing the country on manufacturing in return.
lotrmith
I'm not sure I understand
VaultGirl69
It's complicated.
Gaz42
I laughed out loud. Well done. Really well done.

Only one of those places do you NOT have a 99.9% chance of being decapitated by your captors.
TheCrowd
Depends on your skin colour and how far south you go, might just end up with a fancy necktie instead.
VaultGirl69
I dunno. We have a history of lynchings, and kids get shot regularly here by police or at school.
cantspellmanslaughterwithoutlaughter
Not sure what is the point of this red herring but it's your right to throw it out there.
TikkaMasalaBaby
What does it mean when you say red herring? Like I genuinely am curious.is it a saying?
