You mean "free soloing". "Free Climbing" just means not using the equipment to aid your acsent, only using the rope to catch your fall. Free Soloing means no rope.

I would assume it's the same line as 'X' - that is where a fall means death. That line of course is fluid, as a short prob could have deathfall potential, and a huge one might not.

A topic very, very similar to this one was discussed earlier. The link is provided below.

If you kill your spotter falling on him, you've crossed the line....
