    "I would love to go back and do it better" and now, 5 years later she has climbed the same route in a day. 21 hours. The 4th person to do this and the first woman. This girl is crushing it.

    For the people commenting how Alex Honnold did this is under four hours:
    1. This is a different route up El Cap and this route she is doing is a harder grade than the one Alex did.
    2. She is using a rope because she is free climbing which is different from free solo (which is what alex did). Free Climb is using a rope but not allowing it to take any of your weight away when climbing.
    Hope this clears things up!

      Yes, the hardest pitch is harder than that of the freerider route (Honnold's route), but many of the pitches are the same, including some of the most challenging ones such as the monster.

      I would also like to point out that trad climbing takes A LOT longer than free soloing. Rope management - flaking, anchor building, etc takes a long time. There is a lot of muscle and mental energy put into placing pro along a route. Not diminishing Alex's accomplishment or process, but you can NOT compare the 2 types of climbing and the time each takes.

      Indeed! I've never done outside climbing like this, only indoor bouldering, but I don't think people understand how hard this is. It's like they think: "Oh well, Alex did it without a rope, so it must be super easy and simple." I'd like to see these people try even getting off the ground on these climbs.

    I think a lot of people compare every climber to Alex because he is so chill when doing it. You almost never see him stressed or angry but is so good all the time so people get used to that and think that anyone who does show strong emotion or isn't successful initially isn't as good. I think Alex would be really disappointed in anyone who uses him to put down another athlete

  • @BlizzPort
    @BlizzPort 3 ปีที่แล้ว +24

    To all the "Free Solo" fanboys who know nothing about climbing, this is Golden Gate. Alex would never free solo Golden Gate. He'd be dead if he did.
    There are only 4 people who climbed Golden Gate with a rope: Gobright, Caldwell, Honnold and Emily. No one free soloed it.
    One thing to remember:
    Free climb means climbing with a rope where rope doesn't carry your weight, but instead you carry the weight of the rope. It's there only to catch you if you fall.
    Also, it's important to understand how Alex does free solo.
    1. He climbs the same route hundreds of times with a rope before free solo attempt.
    2. Parts of the route where he falls, he repeats over and over with a rope, until he can do it effortlessly.
    3. He cleans the whole route of anything that could be slippery before the attempt.
    4. He even puts chalk on some holds before the attempt.
    Most climbers are not into that, nor should they be. Grinding the same route for years and preparing every hold just so you can free solo it is not what climbing is about. It's incredible what Alex did, don't get me wrong. It requires a lot of time, discipline and dedication, but it's not like he free soloed El Cap out of the blue. He always makes sure the route is not risky via steps mentioned above, which is why he always says that it's scary only to outside observers who don't know how many times he climbed the same route with a rope and how long he prepared the whole thing.

      What is your problem with Free Solo fanboys you condescending piece of garbage. Alex’s free solo of El Capitan is one of the greatest athletic (both mental and physical) feats humanity has ever achieved. So calm down. As much as I am impressed with this, it is nothing close to Alex’s feat. You must be some special kind of muppet to discredit a free solo feat of ElCap. 😅

      Honnold has definitely free soloed places he has never climbed before. When he did el cap and some other big ones he of course practiced, although sometimes he only practices a few of the big moves and does the rest on the fly, and as I said at first, sometimes just walks up to it the first time and free solos it. I’d slightly disagree about the athletics, performance, and risk part when it comes to some of the free solos he’s done. I won’t get in to it, though.

      this is a more difficult route up El Cap than Alex' free solo. obviously not taking away from what Alex accomplished, which in my opinion is the most amazing performances in all of sports history.

    To think when they practice they fall a few times, on ropes. It takes so much to over come those falls, then to it with no ropes, as that dude Alex did, such determination & for this lady to do what she did. Respect to people, who strive to get the optimum from life.
    Way more than I do, or ever done.

    She has confidence, and she has charisma. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. Emily you are a tour de force!!! :) she has moments where she is agonised and frustrated, and she needs to release it. Also, when she's up there, she's constantly thinking about planning her next move, correcting her next move, gauging her confidence level. What's wrong with that? This is a 16-minute video detailing her journey. If you are annoyed by her screams, go watch a highlight clip or click through some Instagram snapshots. This video is for people who wish to know how she did it.

    I'm interested in knowing who is holding the camera and how the climbing and logistics related to these aspects were handled. How long did it take to get the supplies in place? When was the fixed protection at 13:43 placed and who placed it? How did that rack hanging on the bolt at 14:13 get there? How were the camera locations picked, belayed and anchored? How many fixed ropes were used? Who is responsible for the camera crew's safety? I ask these questions as someone who had done the NW Face of Half Dome before the slab fell way a few years ago.
