This interview has so many hilarious moments, just the way Alex seems so checked out and confused by some of the questions. And all the baby in the backpack questions. Had a good laugh
"That's just the obvious solution that comes to mind" that is so great as he is actually being serious while 99.9% of the world would think he is joking but he is not joking. "Just cinch the baby in the backpack" BAHAHAH - I love Alex.
This interview was directly after Tommy climbed the Dawn Wall, he hadn’t free solo’d El Cap yet Edit: it was actually while they were climbing the Dawn Wall, that’s why Alex was in El Cap that day
@@FriendlyDirt No, but he'd climbed it a huge number of times, broken the Nose speed record several times, linked it with Half Dome in 8 hours, done the triple link-up on El Cap.............you get my drift.........
True. Though really high level requires dedication and lots of repetition by yourself. Like saying music is not solitary because people come to watch the show. But practicing 8 hours a day like say Guthrie Govan is.
Multipitch climbing you are either sitting at a belay or climbing by yourself 90% of the time, he is not wrong. Can’t even hear your partner half the time.
I thought Alex was just generally unimpressed with everything in life by the way he speaks about his/teams he’s in’s accomplishments, so it was illuminating to see him get so excited for his friend here.
'Listen. I don't want a technical explanation of why this is hard. I want you to look in that camera, freak out and start screaming NOW! What is wrong with you, man?'
It doesn’t seam possible but u can fool some of the people all the time all the people some of the time but not all the people all the time Abraham Lincoln so congratulations u r the best of us
This is one of the worst interviewers I’ve ever seen. The editing isn’t great, the questions aren’t great, and she is NOT doing a good job at holding his attention
Non climbers saying they don’t understand Alex’s explanation of hard climb is expected and rude to hear them say it. It’s aa waste of time and insult to explain to those who ask and never comprehend, unless they paying for your time. They will never understand. Know this, thrill seekers are a different breed that non thrill seekers will never understand

Your moM loves it
And she's absurdly Ron burgundy wife Kelly Bundy like

‘But that would be so lame.’ Classic line
What a rush. The greatest climbing interview of all time.
Fascinating technical discussion - really gave me some insight into the logistical minutiae of baby-ascending and baby-rappeling
How normal he thinks the baby rigging is 🤣 this guy is an absolute gem
"You've done El Cap yourself, right?" .... Classic!
he IS El Capitan

It’s nice to be able to just look up and like yes, El Cap…yeah, I do love El Cap
Had me in laughing out loud.
"Why is climbing El Cap so hard?"
Alex should have just pointed behind her and said "Look at it".
5:04 "We joked about carrying his baby up these ropes... and now... it looks like I might actually do that"
Hey guys I got to get my battery" 4:24
Best Quote
"how do you repel with a baby" "Ma'am we just go down the same way we came up with the baby"
It's funny how they haven't changed the name in the article after all this time and after Free Solo
4:31 "Climbing is generally pretty solitary". No, my dude, most climbers, generally, have at least a belayer with them.
lol, literally
not this guy 😅

Dont need a belayer when you dont use ropes ;)
Damn that Honnlove sure nolds to climb the el cap
As good as a Monty Python sketch.
This aged so well, haha.
"I'm sure it will be fine"
the interviewers head looks like it's about to pop off

Old but fun, first time I have seen the full interview
Alex is a legend. Brilliant commentary!!
This is just too much 😂😂😂 It's like somebody would ask Elvis, do you sing anything at all.
This is THE interview. Holy crap its so good
the baby idea is insane lmao Alex is so desensitized he doesnt understand that others might freak out because of heights lol
Alex is a very interesting interview
"its only a 25 pound baby"
'Listen. I don't want a technical explanation of why this is hard. I want you to look in that camera, freak out and start screaming NOW! What is wrong with you, man?'
How do you get a baby up the mountain. LOL
I didn't think her questions were stupid, she's interviewing him so that the average viewer will get an idea of what's going on.
"He's only a 25 pounds baby, you know" 😂😂
This is all so amazing.
This gal must have just fallen out of the moon.
Alex Honnlove has the eagle’s eyes! Believe me
Bed head? Hat hair? What a chill guy :)
I love Honnlove he is so inspiring! Honnlove
He's very patient with this lame attempt at an interview. She's a 5.1 interviewer.
Just casually rock climb up the mountain with a baby on the back, Alex is in his element
She has know idea who she's talking to. It would have helped if she did a little research before the interview.
When she said.. you’ve done el cap yourself, right?. Like free solo? 🤣
It's from 2015 so it's not quite as silly as it seems today.
This interview was done before he did the free solo of Freerider.
Presenter be like: ?
Seriously, she is empty.
Quite an old interview....
They probably exchange numbers after this interview
Just here for the comments, this is hilarious ♥️
“You’ve done El Capitan before?”
“You know it pretty well?”
Girl…
only thing better would of been if she said: maybe one day you'll be on the news doing something great! :)))
OMG, Good Stuff.
Don’t drop the baby
It doesn’t seam possible but u can fool some of the people all the time all the people some of the time but not all the people all the time Abraham Lincoln so congratulations u r the best of us
Cringiest interview I've seen, 10/10
this is the most awkward interview I've ever seen
This guy looks snipped real real tight
snipped ?
what is so hard about the Dawn Wall 😂
Would you rather have a knowledgable reporter or a really attractive one?
Put him in the backpack…
😂😂😂
#climbinggold
Alex I'm so sorry you have to put up with these inane idiots out there. Your patience in these interviews is what allows you to climb so gracefully
I think he's ok. Don't kiss ass
Literally one of the dullest people on TH-cam
This is one of the worst interviewers I’ve ever seen. The editing isn’t great, the questions aren’t great, and she is NOT doing a good job at holding his attention
Ha; Honnold being interviewed by someone that has no idea about climbing.
She’s lucky she’s cute because those questions were pretty lame and worthy of just walking away.
Non climbers saying they don’t understand Alex’s explanation of hard climb is expected and rude to hear them say it. It’s aa waste of time and insult to explain to those who ask and never comprehend, unless they paying for your time. They will never understand. Know this, thrill seekers are a different breed that non thrill seekers will never understand
You ever noticed you don't see many veteran free climbers....?
Hmmmmnnn?
Who is Alex Honnlove?!? 😂
Who is this chick? Eye candy should face the camera more. She obviously isn't there because of her knowledge or insightful questions.
