The pictures of AH with his green shirt on made him appear fragile.

The one with the shirt off make him look like what he is:

Honned!

The word can only apply to him and him alonne. He should copyright it.

The Jack LaLanne of the rocks.

Good climbing tomorrow, and don't forget the chalk.

It's a good article by Tim Neville. Particularly unsensational and in a friendly and realistic manner, gives us glimpses of Alex's humanity and deep focus while developing the meaning of some of his activity, if that is possible. Great photo too by Ben Moon:

I don't know about you but this is the most astounding climber's body I have ever seen. Taken 2010, I think.

Agree 100%, Peter. Fine, low-key journalism, using the spell-chucker.

You have no cause to be jealous, by the way, "Peterman."

We know about your cape, dude.

And thx for posting the Charles Atlas photo.

I wanna see Mr. Honnold's birth certificate. I've also noticed that he never checks in on the aerobic thread.

He whipped it around the curves driving back down into the valley while his girlfriend, Stacey Pearson, a 26-year-old nurse, cooked him dinner on a camping stove in the back.

“Oh my god!” shouted a hiker who saw him. “That guy has no rope!”

“Dude, are you serious!” exclaimed another. “I can’t look.”

I participated in the "First Known Ascent" of the climb he is pictured on at Trout Creek; Time Bomb, a cool detached pillar with a precarious block the size of a large shed perched on top.

Things I learned from this article:

-He had silverfish climbing on his neck and into his mouth while soloing Watkins
-He banks six figures a year (good on him)
-He impresses every journalist who meets him on the level of personality, and it comes across in the writing

Thanks for posting the link.
