    5 years on and people are still psyched to try the Free Solo replica in London, and we have good news! The 'Boulder Problem' is a permanent bloc at VauxWall East Climbing Centre, set by Alex Honnold himself. We've switched out some holds as they were getting a lot of love, so it's now set with pink holds. But it's all still in the same place. Come and give it a go but, be warned, it's seriously tough...

      Honnold tells that joke a lot, he just changes the name. Usually he makes it about Tommy. What I find funny is that he's blissfully unaware of what that statement says about him. It's like his every day is the day of a bad breakup. This is in direct contrast with what he always says about free soloing not being suicidal in any way.

      Are you seriously that dense? There are interviews with Alex Honnold where the interviewer never stops interrupting him for a full hour. Louis hardly said a word. Honestly you people can fuck off, you're not even climbers. You don't even know who Louis is, you're just posers fresh off seeing Free Solo. Alex hates being asked these same questions all the time anyway

    Or run the audio thru Adobe Audition,
    Add 4 layers
    2 single band compressors
    Hard limiter
    EQ stabilizer
    Play with the levels but I swear that’ll take out the ambiance from the climbing gym. I film jiujitsu & we’ve solved that problem by doing this. If you use premiere pro it’s an easy transition to Adobe Audition. Only commenting because this is a great interview & it’s possible to fix for future ones without any gear changes. Cheers

      Adam Ondra. He's a far better climber than Alex if you're measuring it purely by ability to send the hardest (e.g. highest graded) routes, but what Alex does with his big wall free solos is on a whole other level mentally.
