@@Stanginsean281he was great what u on about. I watched the comp he commentated and he was very funny, him not having typical commentator education and cadence was great.
@@guitar300k Tbh i dont get caves either, but if I had to choose ... im going to the caves ,cuz I feel like free solo is much more dangerous. But for adrenalin that comes from action - free solo seems better.
Lmao, hilarious how he keeps shoving praise down his throat while Alex is one of the most humble, down to earth climbing athletes out there, desperately trying to wave it away 😂😂😂
@@daanvanoverbeek8637 I mean, has anyone in the world touched more earth than someone like Alex? Mountains gotta be the most earthy thing on earth other than earth.
He is super modest. He is one of the greatest all round climbers: bouldering, sport, trad and bigwall. Free soloing is pretty unimportant in his portfolio and he doesn't do it anymore.
The first time I ever saw Alex was when I was following the Magnus Midtbø channel and Magnus turned up to meet Alex for a visit in the US and Alex took him freesoloing when Magnus really didn't fancy it (Alex suggested it as a surprise on the day), but he didn't want to back out so the pressure was on. That was my first impression of Alex and I don't think I can ever quite forgive him for it. We could have lost one of our European best. 🤣
It is, but it's so so fun. I've never loved a sport like it. Your mind clears, you feel connected with your body, your balance improves, your grip is stronger, the people are friendly. The only downsides are that gym memberships can be expensive and you gotta be careful to not get hurt. But I've gotten many scrapes and bumps.
@@Impositivelygay Bouldering, depending on the gym, doesn't go up so high. Plus, there's padded floors so it won't hurt if you fall. The only thing to do is to actually learn how to fall safely. I have a friend who is scared of heights but he's able to boulder and even top rope (style using the harness) and I think it's helped him. When we hiked he couldn't look over the edge of the cliff though, but I don't blame him.
Sorry if you felt that way :( We had a great time talking and we didn’t want it to feel like an interview but more like a conversation. Sometimes we talk over each other but I wanted to make him feel like we were just talking :)

He just goes up casually, kinda forgets that this is an interview not El Cap... 😂😂 what a legend
Alex is a great ambassador for the sport, its a shame they didnt have him live casting the boulders, woulda been actually watchable
He's commentated before for IFSC and he struggled. He is too literal for it.
@@Stanginsean281I quite enjoyed it when he did the commentating for Salt Lake City comp this year, made it a lot more entertaining in my opinion.

Free solo climbers and cave divers have a unique perspective on life to say the least.
I can understand the free solo, but can't for the cave one, lol, why
@@guitar300k too curious for an extreme adrenaline junkie i guess

Not the colab I've expected
But the one we needed 😂
Glad they mentioned Alaine Robert! He is such a legend when it comes to climbing free solo and very talented French climber.
"What's it, better safe than-" "Yolo."
I guess Alex needs to share the location with Pete Whittacker - there's a crack next to the aircon channel 😅

Don't you think that being 'down to earth' is a pretty hilarious way of describing a climber?
@@daanvanoverbeek8637 I mean, has anyone in the world touched more earth than someone like Alex?
Mountains gotta be the most earthy thing on earth other than earth.
@@daanvanoverbeek8637 well, he's still technically on earth though, haha
I would never expected to see these two people in one video :) Nontheless great!
Alex Honnold free soloing in trainers is not what I expected to see today...
They're approach shoes, meant for hiking and scrambling over boulders. So they're half climbing shoes
@@sunny2 Yeah, he's wearing TX Guides, which are some of the best approach shoes at climbing.
Alex is more than Olympics
Alex’s mom speaks French and would teach him when he was young.
He is super modest. He is one of the greatest all round climbers: bouldering, sport, trad and bigwall. Free soloing is pretty unimportant in his portfolio and he doesn't do it anymore.
he just did XD
@@YYRTSO LOL you have a point there!
He does that, look it up, literally soloes a lot now

In the followup video, Magnus said that in the end, he made the choice himself. Need to let adults make their own decisions
Great duo.
rock climbing looks so hard

@@Cristyfaceid definitely try that if i wasnt scared of falling and heights so much, sounds fun

Love it!!!
why would you interview someone and not let them talk...
I have seen that guy making funny video based on english and french on his youtube channel
😂 hilarious watching Alex hold back from climbing jargon to make sure everyone understands
How bout let Alex finish a sentence before you yank the mic from his face?
Give finisher role amoj jacob he is better than rajesh ramesh
Im wiewer 3
He sounds like Gotham chess
So why is this guy.... nevermind.
Loïc Suberville was rude as he was cutting Alex off multiple times!
Sorry if you felt that way :( We had a great time talking and we didn’t want it to feel like an interview but more like a conversation. Sometimes we talk over each other but I wanted to make him feel like we were just talking :)
@@loic.suberville nay, I didn't get the vibe that @vhhang is saying at all! Pretty chill and relaxed free solo-ing of a building hahaha.
Disagree seemed like a chill conversation

Rock climbing makes no sense 😂
your life makes no sense
@@awaken3d You're just weak.
I mean, that's almost the point of every sport.
@@procerator I can do many things with you
Says who never did any climbing in his life
