LOL.. this was done 4 years +- before his first kid was born.. second it was fairly easy climb for him, he spent multiple years projecting and climbing this wall, knowing all the moves he can make it without any problems.. last but not least he made hell of a money from that Free Solo movie

when you don’t know anything about alex but try to put ur two sense in 😭😭

why are you just commenting without knowing anything you absolute tool.

Absolute sheltered fool who knows nothing 😂😂

Micheal Jordan >>

suicidal athlete*

@@sytincer5708Micheal Phelps easily better athlete than Micheal Jordan

Fact is no one else has, that's what makes it so special, they did a brain scan of him and the portion of his brain that processes fear is lesser in his brain, it gives him a natural advantage, same way Phelps had a natural larger lung capacity, he processes fear differently, he is built different and that's why he was the first to do it

@@breandanhamon1243 Makes a lot of sense. Incredible.

A guy who climbed in front of him with one hand and the other hand with the camera. Pretty insane

there is several behind the scene clips on you tube. is insane to look at

you wouldnt make it not even close

rly funny

Bring some of mom’s spaghetti

⁠@@collectivecha0sHe’s nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready

What....

You must be retarded..

alright if its so easy do it yourself

Cool story bro

There is a hiking trail on the other side

I don't think there's an option of going down when you're free soloing mountains. Once you reach the top, you either hike down a different route, or rappel down.

There’s only one quick way down that’s for sure

@@erxen2why didn’t he just go up that? idiot

He used the route free rider

Different route

@@simonaustin6219 Ah, no wonder he was able to free solo El Capitan

Youre a straight loser, get off your ass and do something with your life.

It is not 30%. It is 30 deaths per year for rock climbing in general worldwide. And free solo makes about 30% of that. Let's round that up to 10 deaths per year for free solo. If there were 1000 free solo climbers, the percentage would be 1%. And I bet there are more than 1000 in the world.

@@soolyOnE For something like El Cap, literally everyone who had attempted to free solo it before had died. Everyone. 😭 And you can tell the energy of everyone around Honnold in the documentary, no one wanted him to do it. There is a grim expectation surrounding these free solos. Rock climbing in general is awesome, I'm just talking about how ridiculously dangerous free solo climbs are and how interesting it is that we don't disapprove of something where either you do it perfectly, or you fall to your death

@@hobelarge6389 Like i said, get off your ass and do something with your life.

I think you must be a nihilist if you can't see the difference between this (not recognising it as a genuine achievement) and a drug abuser. That, or you're the sort of person who thinks achievements are only those things that bring direct benefit to the survival and/or material prosperity of our species. If so, I have to ask you what you think the point of life is after meeting your survival and material needs? Is it not okay to carve your own meaning out of life, and isn't the popularity of Honnold's documentary not proof that his philosophy somewhat resonates with lots of normal people (who aren't exactly going to go out and free solo themselves)? Don't be so cynical. People with Honnold's resolve have always existed. He wasn't created by the modern opportunities of grabbing attention.

🤡

hiked down on the other side of the mountain.

There’s a hiking trail to the top. He just takes that down.

@@lukefromtexas it's a rough trail, takes a lot out of you.

@@dabneyoffermein595 yeah but I’m sure the guy that just free soloed el cap can handle a 7 seven mile, zero elevation gain trail down. :)

Abseiled down

Watch the documentary. They had a crew of cameramen, all climbers. They weren’t climbing with him. They were all stationed in separate pre approved sections far enough away as to not add any stress to Alex’s climb

The only thing I can compare this to is like a concert pianist having to play some incredibly difficult hours long concerto however... hitting one wrong note means instant death and having to play the entire thing perfectly.

darrinsiberia Delusional comparison. One mistake with what the free solo is guaranteed death, the other just starting over, not even close at all

​@@Kai_Stone I think you misunderstood the comparison. He meant as i understood it that he could compare this free climb to pianist, if that pianist had to perform his part perfectly and any mistake would mean litteral death to him. Which this climb is, it is a series of perfect movement and any mistake big or small the cost is his live.

is that what youre thinking about watching this? you are a predator

@@vexice thought it was obvious that I'm blatantly exaggerating the laws of physics in comparison how such a feat was accomplished by human being. It wasn't supposed to make sense...

@@BlastinRope any kid that did anything others we're afraid of would say "he's got big balls" must of never had a childhood

@@BlastinRope having big balls means that you’re brave. he’s saying that alex is very brave

@@vexice Yeah I did, with your mom. Shes got state droopers the size of flapjacks

I was listening to him on a podcast talking about that and he said he actually did take an emergency shit during the climb lol. Probably a good call keeping that shot out of the final edit

Nah he’s Spider-Man

thats simply the wrong assumption to make about him.

Well he has a certain look in his eyes, like most of them have. Are you a psychologist or do you know him perhaps?

alex honnold looking unhinged is crazy@@graypistachio4141

@@graypistachio4141 well he is pretty famous, and goes into detail about his mindset and what it takes for him to attempt such a solo. Nothin about it is unhinged imo

i like how you think that him potentially being unhinged (he's not) changes in anyway his achievement
