The best part was the dude in a bunny costume. The worst part is his annoying arse gf.

He's def. on the spectrum but who cares.

Doesn't have to be everyone's cup of tea personality wise. It's just an incredible feat and mind boggling.

Climbers are INSANE and the reaction all of them gave to him doing it just make it that much more impressive.

Because people who came before him showed these things are possible. Peter Croft free soloed The Rostrum and Astroman in the same day in 1987. Here’s The Rostrum, no ropes.

This is the guy who does the free solo climb on El Capitan in Yosemite. Unbelievable


Was he climbing a summit in Berlin?

He actually looks even crazier in the feature film of Reel Rock. He's trying to get the speed climbing record back from two nobodies, and he's pushing the limit so much that Tommy Caldwell was squeamish.

Dawn Wall, Meru, and Valley Uprising are all better.

While i respect the skill and balls it takes to do what he does, Honnold comes off as a selfish a-hole in the documentary.



eh I see a guy who is on the spectrum and thus unable to rationalize other peoples emotion toward his career choice. And if he could. He wouldn't be doing what he does.

I give him a pass because I think he might Aspergers or something along those lines. He’s like a weird artist. He also not hurting anyone with his behavior. He just doesn’t relate well to others.
