I have a theory that Honnold actually lives like in Groundhog Day film and has fallen thousands of times, but he has been perfecting the technique till now…
Vertigo, w/the wall pushing you out. Windy, narrow ledge, no ropes. Shit! I've had dreams like this, usually I fall. He recovered, continued on. That alone, is amazing.
It’s really not a bad hold, most climbers would be able to crimp it pretty well. It’s the movement itself mixed with the holds that the difficulty stems from.
@@chicken29843 perhaps no hard routes. He's previously mentioned that he was going to stop (maybe on rogans podcast) but since then did that TH-cam video with magnus midtbo for example

And you get to express the theory ad infinitum
😂😂😂😂
To be that fking high and start getting nervous with ZERO gear on,shittt that's like scariest dream time ish.
He does feel fear but he does not seem to feel panic. Big difference between the two, one can make you sharper the other one kills you.
Scariest dream? You mean a nightmare?? 😂
In other words, he almost died
Yeah, for sure...

0:45 Looking like a guy who just came out of Costco, got lost looking for his parking spot, ended up on the Thank God Ledge.
lol
You will always be an inspiration to me maybe not to climb a mountain but to do something out of my comfort zone thank you
I finally have a flesh and bones hero
Man, I can’t imagine the courage.
0:28 look at that, literally pinching onto NOTHING. Alex is genuinely cut from a different cloth

thats a pretty okay crimp from the looks of it. He does full crimp so its probably not awesome but certainly not atypical on pretty much any route
People don't realize how thin Thank God ledge is. Check out some TH-cam videos on it for perspective
I want to know who is the cameraman
Free solo means....using no climbing gear (no rope , no clip/hook etc)
so who is gonna fund the first minority to do it too.
free soloing doesnt take more than $100. Shoes making up most of that, chalk the rest.
@@kelpfarming Leave bullshit, woke identity politics out of climbing.
@@bkl8804 He's memeing you bot
@@George-wm8sq I know because satire and sarcasm are so obvious, especially when conveyed via text (sarcasm alert).
Looks up Wiki to see when he died soon... just stupid
U should watch Free Solo, his documentary film. He is so methodical and prepared
noone will remember your name
he doesnt solo anymore iirc
@@carlmarker9257yes he does, I think it'll be hard for him to completely stop
@@rited i thought he "retired"? or did that just mean no soloing hard routes?
