That dude is amazing. Alex that is, not Jesus.
I went in for some adrenaline rush when I was in my twenties. A bit of climbing - if I can even call it that given what Alex does, motorcycles, skateboarding and spelunking. I never thought of it as risk taking though it was of course. Each of those activities has a particular feel within which you can feel a kind of attunement. It's like discovering passages within yourself you didn't know were there. Trusting what you discover you are expands you.
One thing I discovered about myself is that I won't flinch when risk is high. I just focus ever more intently. Perhaps atheists have the edge here because we sure don't expect anyone or anything to intercede on our behalf. You gotta take care of business or go outta business entirely.
