Free soloing is dumb. Free soloing a 5.12 face is fricking dumb.

In all seriousness he will die within a year or two.

That's awesome. I've been to where that rock is, it doesn't look like an easy climb even with safety gear

No matter how good they are most of these guys eventually end up falling. Especially when they keep climbing after 40.

That rock is in Nuevo León. He's more likely to get his head cut off than fall from that rock

I knew it was Alex Honnold before I even clicked on it. He will keep doing these crazy climbs until he can't.

I know he has balls of steel and supreme confidence in his abilities. But all it takes is one slip of the shoe or one slip of the fingers and he is dead. I don't know how you can trust that you will NEVER make a mistake, because there is no coming back from it.

Yep, I remember when he free-climbed El Cap a few years ago.

It's a numbers game. Eventually something will happen.

Some people like to hunt and others like to free climb

Alex Honnold is one of the coolest/nicest people I've ever met
