It's a range, and I certainly don't look like what you'll see on YouTube. The only soloing I have ever done is on terrain that is borderline like a ladder to me, and I haven't done a tone of it.

The incredible thing about some free soloists is that they have free solo'd terrain only slightly less difficult than the hardest routes to ever be climbed in the world at that time.

Also, soloing is sort of like holding your own keys. Total freedom and responsibility for what happens.
