Wow pretty weird camera angles, first the camera is in front of him, then cutaway to a shot from behind him looking at his feet, then within seconds the cameraman is back in front of him again. What's the cameraman doing, penduluming around to get different shots? Meanwhile his subject almost goes for the plunge.

His foot slipped but his hand had a good hold. He was fine. It Honnold! He did the thing in 2:20

My guess - the shot of his feet is totally unrelated and was spliced in there for dramatic effect.

Looks like un-clipping the daisy chain first may have been a mistake. Might have been better to unclip the biner from his harness, then clip the bolt in one motion. I'll have to remember that when I go up there to do the repeat :)

pants shitting moment @ 1:15
I'm with Cragman on this one: his expression shows more than a little concern as he is making the clip...
Even though I know AH is well within his limits, it is still a moment that makes my heart skip a beat as a viewer!

Reminds me of what my driver's ed teacher taught us. Compare the statistics for serious accidents, non-serious accidents, and close calls. They are all statistically related. Each time you have one of those close calls, it's a reminder that the big one is out there waiting for you.

For others besides superheros that might choose to augment a solo with a little gear and a Daisy. I recommend a screamer on the daisy

Unless he is goofing it for the camera I think I see some real concern in his face before clipping in with the daisy. Also not sure why he would use a daisy for this.

How come the camera zoomed in on his feet just before the "slip"?

I dont think it did. I think they just spliced a little footage in there in the edit. He's even reaching for the blue daisy in that clip, but it cant be in sequence.

Video:
How come you don't see any camera people in the long shot?
I tried slowing it down to 25% speed and there appears to be some concern on his face at :46 and 1:19.
Whaddya think?
