The movie "Free Solo" was great. I'd recommend watching it. I had butterflies in my stomach at the movie theater just watching what he was doing.

I have a buddy from college who is in this guy's regular climbing crew and also the Executive Director of his charitable foundation. They do some bat shite crazy stuff (like free soloing El Cap).

If I'm his life insurance company, I've got a predrafted letter declining payment just waiting to get dropped in the mail (unless of course he's disclosed these activities and isn't doing anything illegal).

No- there was a film crew nearby. They would have tossed him a line if he couldn’t make it.

If you haven't seen Free Solo you should. One of the most amazing films I've ever watched.

Nobody is underwriting Honnold, the reserve on that policy would be the full value of the policy

Frick that.

One of my friends died doing that in Colorado. Went up to the mountains without telling us his plan, slipped half way up a rock face, injured to the point he couldn't move, died of exposure.

How long does it take? Does he have snacks? What if he has to use the bathroom?

there's a TED talk in which he discussed all the prep that went into this feat. Pretty remarkable. Essentially he was so prepared he nearly could have done this blindfolded.

It’s probably not that hard if you don’t have a real job

I’d like to see the foreman’s face if I told him I was going to Mexico or whatever to climb some Mexican mountain
