so in terms of free soloing undoubtedly
the greatest free soloists that ever
lived
is this kid Alex Honnold pretty quiet
grew up in the suburbs of Sacramento and
he pretty much you know you think next
generation and next generation what are
people going to do well he’s kind of
skipped a generation and started soloing
things that were unthinkable I’m going
to play a quick little video from about
Alex three so late has to be the
ultimate in free climbing so he’s a
beautiful day to go out for the free
solo is to go without a rope and to go
without gear to only have your rock
shoes and your chalk bag and the power
of mind it’s also very profound
reason it’s probably the ultimate is
this one wrong move you fall you die
yeah let me try that again and the
person at the top of this game and it’s
hard to even call this a game is Alex
Honnold
Alex Honnold is probably a perfect
example is someone who’s not only
trained very hard but is unbelievably
gifted he is like Michael Jordan
I spend my whole year living in the van
traveling from one destination to
another yeah I would say that you
somebody probably is the center of my
climbing that all my climbing goals all
like training all kind of revolves
around things that I want to do and you
somebody this is by far my favorite
place for sewing because the walls are
still inspiring like everything you’re
so big and that’s like what gets me
excited about selling stuff when the
most memorable illness was pitched like
22 of the nose I put my rope away and I
switched just so long I just had a
moment of life this is like so really
cool I was like I can’t believe I’m up
here with no rope just climbing like
this is rad now alex has now done the
regular route on Half Dome free solo so
for most people on this planet who are
serious climbers do in Half Dome in a
day or two is considered fantastic Alex
did it in three hours without a rope you
know you commit you’re like I’m doing
this here I go but then after like a
couple hours of being all committed
you’re like man I’m tired like you know
your your mind starts to get a little
bit tired
and so I kind of stalled out and then I
started to doubt if I was doing a rider
if I had the right holds why am I even
here you know do I want to do this just
come back for the feeling it run that’s
the thing isn’t life and that stalled
him out that paralyzed him and then he
overcame it he didn’t work that route a
hundred times he’s just got up below it
looked up at it and believed absolutely
believed it was well within this
building and then it seems like in this
last season I’ve sort of embraced the
whole experience you know embrace the
unpleasant parts – it’s kind of cool to
just look around you you know enjoy the
exposure be like this is why I’m here
like this is awesome
