Yeah, pretty rich eh, but you’re not a boulderer by any chance are you?
Some people pay more for stuff like getting dragged up Everest, or at a local level spend similar outrageous gear $ for a single night of glamping on a portaledge as charged by adventure companies.

Soloing more easily by using the good gear and making for greater relative safety is a better spend I reckon, especially compared to say the filthy rich blighters joy riding into edge of space recently. Why do they call themselves astronauts when it doesn’t make one a sailor when one rides on a ferry?
