That smile should count as Honnolding. Now Honnold on just a minute!

Dude is obviously bright. Imagine that skill set on a rescue team. I remember Lynn Hill saying that a Nose in a Day attempt was stopped because she didn't have enough chalk. A lot of planning and preparation.
After free soloing Mt. Watkins, Honnold was about 1/2 up The Nose, solo, when he realized he forgot his chalk bag.

Reardon is better.
Not.

Seriously! Imagine how hard it would be to hold your breath under freezing water, aim the bolt gun and account for deflection as it passes through water then an ice layer then air, and still take out your target? Stallone as a climber can never be topped.

After having watched the Sendero Luminosa footage I have one question.
Since Alex is making these videos of his solos, when he falls will you watch the video?
Regards,
Chris

Brilliant, intense and strangely beautiful in a way but hard to watch... my palms are still sweating.

Great article - love that Alex is so humble and honest. Hope that dude is around for a long time...will be great see his future accomplishments and how he will conduct his life (outside of climbing) as a mature adult.

Saw a new commercial during the ball game tonight with Honnold soloing Heaven (and managed to fight the urge to try to clarify the difference between free climbing and free soloing to people who probably don't care). Dunno what they were selling, but the scenery sure was pretty.
