Free Soloing with Alex Honnold

[Aholeintheozone]

absolutely incredible, although somewhat foolish

[1994joris]

How does he get down?

[JLeeMagnetic]

Climbing without a rope= EPITOME of an absolute moron

[SackoKents]

@JLeeMagnetic the EPITOME of an absolute moron is posting an ignorant view of something you do not understand. Plz do not respond.

[JLeeMagnetic]

@SackoKents WTF is there not to understand?

[AmmarSidi]

MY HANDS ARE SWEATING !

[rmizeelectric]

honnold is a mental warrior

[ClashCityRockerz]

I think it's amazing what he's doing. But is it really worth it? As so many others have said, just one mistake is all it takes...

[josiahdood]

Homey is a beast. I don't think he'll fall, he's just too calm and strong. Even 5.11 is like a ladder for him.

[Epostaxis]

even the best climber in the world will lose playing roulette with his own skills. just one mistake is all it takes... just one... and a mountain has a whole lotta patience...

[JLeeMagnetic]

@Epostaxis trust me its not worth it

[Fr4gg3r2]

"He is unbeliavably gifted, his like michael jordan." o.O wtf

[ifavixong]

Cool

[IringPalo]

I like climbing, but not this style.

[garrettzkool63]

id carry a wing suit haha

[lowieyenluv]

this is the real spider man....

[lowieyenluv]

i really sweat whenever i watched him....top rope is already hard for me....his mind is great....more power!

[climbing565]

You're the best ! :) Alex Honnold =)

[JLeeMagnetic]

Nobody would be doing free soloing if they couldn't be filmed. Its for attention

[jumper1294]

@JLeeMagnetic that still doesnt remove the fact if they fall they die

[ColdAsHe11]

@JLeeMagnetic You should re-read the shit you type before pressing Post.

[JLeeMagnetic]

@ColdAsHe11 Sorry just trying to save someones life. If u want them to kill themselves, that is your deal. Common sense people... Common sense...

[ColdAsHe11]

@JLeeMagnetic It's none of your business how this man wants to live his life. He's well aware that if he falls he dies. That is his choice. Not yours. Get over yourself.

[kieranski]

@JLeeMagnetic sometimes other peoples input in their lives is not wanted or asked for, and we have to learn to live with that

[JLeeMagnetic]

@kieranski Well the fact that they are on tv, means they sure as hell do want attention. So our input is wanted from them. These solo people are not heros, what do they stand for? One ship and they will have the last laugh and I sure as hell won't feel sorry for them for doing something so idiotic. I hope you hear me out.

[jimstergee]

omg! my hearts beating so fast, Yea i climb, but with ropes!!!

[Superjakopine]

genial!

[Rhett056]

@lennyet the final climb he does in this video you can just hike down.

[lennyet]

how do they get down?



[pacifiedfools]

HOW?????

[PwnNubtarzz]

shiiiiiiiiitttttttttttttttt

[GoProSchmo]

My hands got sweaty just by watching this video.

[Dravensdmf]

There's british guy called leo holding iirc whose also pretty good. although i imagine anyone who does this for fun has to be good....or else dead.

[sansalka]

MAESTRO!!!

[maarten2442]

2 things i dont get:

1 why is in every climbing video at least 1 guy that says balls?

2 how the hell do you get back down? i realy want to know.

btw: this guy is legend

[Kazbahn1]

@maarten2442

1. You watch the wrong climbing videos

2. You go round :)

[maarten2442]

@Kazbahn1 which climbing video's would you advice?

[Kazbahn1]

@maarten2442 That is... ALLL the way round.

[TheExtremeOutdoors]

@maarten2442 there a "trail" called, the cables going down the back side of half-dome

[MrSlobTv]

@maarten2442 he climbs up the face of the mountain on the other side there is a hiking trail

[trvl4srf]

I feel the fear just watching this, especially the shot of him standing on that narrow ledge... GULP!

[TheSFCRetired]

Crazy as a pet coon!!

[sendahojust1]

Its all awesome until your falling and hit the ground

[Bodytransformat]

Nice helmet!

[BlindlyZack]

how do they get down

[ohhey539]

i can't stop watching this

[EvilSapphireR]

Peter parker! I found ya!!

[CrazyHops00]

how do you get down?



[chavezchavez556]

I would think a guy that can defy death all the time must be humble .....

[criticismsociety]

He has not that big balls, he's simply to poor to buy rope and harness :)

[greenbing]

:] another inspiring person: A Nine Year Old Climber, Ashima Shiraishi

[Robby23171]

Simply amazing!

[edgargiosano]

This guys mind set is UNREAL HOWDEEDODAT?

[understood867]

I enjoyed reading this in mays issue.

[TrippSOARSbeyond]

The irony... He wears a seatbelt

[eldiagrama]

@TorkDitch you can walk down by the backside

[Psychbuckeye]

I free solo my stairs daily.

[penlikker]

This guy must be pretty strong if he has to carry those balls everywhere.

[muoneutrino]

What if it starts raining?

[Okipouros]

@muoneutrino from personal experience, you climb really fast to the top, But I was on a 30foot rock, not tha monster...

[Azwazi]

if I was there I'd scream and die.

[ovomusic]

Soooo inspiring!

[pv12306]

00:00

[Wonderlust891]

Honestly, amazingly intense!

[phishbutter]

I have bunk beds!!!

[Satorio1]

he is a god

[theminiman63]

He is some man for one man.

[DeathCookieEnt]

i just free soloed my pants

[SkiingPwnsYou]

I would actually marry him.

[wilsocn]

This is insane. So many variables that can not be controlled: bird attacks, muscle spasm, a hold that fails, weather, etc.

[dangerouswater]

2:21 is just madness...

[dangerouswater]

I do not get that smile even when I get out of bed...let alone doing what he is doing...

[MDedgarinsh]

anyones palms got sweaty ? :D

[AakwardAardvark]

of everything i could physically ever think of doing. this would be the scariest

[teanomilk]

wow, i would never do that, lol but he does it with no fear

[PleasureCaddy]

It's crazy how he says he feels peaceful while soloing.

Meanwhile I am terrified at home just watching! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Discoveryzone]

Don't trip over your HUGE balls.

[tinyshutterbug]

Love Alex. He's so down to earth and relatable, and yet amazing at what he does. My favourite climber, hands down.

[teslastopsecret]

My feet are sweating

[onisazo]

!nsane..

[mingledmeasure1]

like Michael Jordan? Honold makes him look like a high schooler...

[mugwamp4]

@mingledmeasure1 absolutely ...this makes me shudder just watching it ...any other sporting prowess resembles kite flying  compared to this ,,,,totally fucked up. .jordan ,schmorden ..who's he???

[wb5mgr]

This guy has balls that clank... Or he's just too cheap / broke to buy any gear ;)

[scoot698]

how the fuck he come down of there

[zodiac272]

@scoot698 walk off the side down the cable route

[PoongWalrus]

@scoot698 hikes down the back

[easrth]

@scoot698 walk down the hiking route on the other side.

[emsway7]

whats the song at 1:47?

[0mmadawn]

@emsway7 tunes are credited at the end, but I don't know which one is which.

[erlunatico69]

estoy hasta los huevos d tanta publicidad

[jacobEhandyside]

how about we skip the ads... click 0:01

[chanctonbury63]

Ive skydived, BASE jumped, steep skid and free climbed but this is one thing I can never do. Never!!

[poridah7]

after I watched this I went outside and free soloed my car

[Lalagartitita]

What a badass. I love him.

[Finchaviary]

Get back dwn the same way?

[LasseLundster]

@Finchaviary Easy, goes a thousand times faster.

[jedamac]

opening shot..... i did that 5 dayz ago....

[hungryfilms]

Absolutely love this kid!

[HugeGene]

Amazing, crazy. One question: how does he get down? No rope, no rappel. Don't tell me he frees down also??

[coldkurt]

@HugeGene dude there's trails that lead down, that's like seeing a guy at the top of cliff and going how did he get up there? he walked hahaha

[HugeGene]

@coldkurt Thanks...I wasn't sure... Now if it were me, I'd take the trail up AND down (; > )

[Mtbfanro]

@HugeGene he hikes down on the easy side. obviously he chooses places which have a return path as well so he can recover from the effort while getting down

[HugeGene]

@Mtbfanro  I figured it must be something like that. Thanks, Mtb..

[putricaina]

Absolutely amazing to see what some people are capable of !

[axeman4666]

My new climbing hero!

[nickgullie]

Shivers down my spine :-)

[agentdesktop]

Mitico,
