Free Solo: Alex Honnold

[coolerifyoudid]

Yeah I'd have to imagine his El Capitan free solo was probably harder, this is probably mostly endurance rather than technically challenging. Also having places to bail out make it less dangerous I'd guess.

I've seen enough action movies and cartoons to know that he falls, he can either grasp another ledge 30 stories down with no regard to velocity or safely bounce off the multi-colored canopy over the door at the bottom.

I literally can’t watch this ****. Anxiety is through the roof knowing I could watch a person die.

You ever watched the documentary Riding Giants about big wave surfing? One of the best docs I’ve seen.

I’m not sure if I saw it or not because I’ve seen a few with Laird. Check out this I just scrolled by, scared the crap out of me.

Plus, unlike El Cap, if the weather get's super bad or something happens, They can just open a window and pull him in. El Cap he was screwed if something went bad

Big bird, or bird big ****

Everytime I see this I am in awe of a few things. The actual size of the wave compared to him and that he actually has balls as big as he does.

And he's climbing.

I don't know if I can watch this.

Holy **** those people should not be allowed to be right on the other side of the windows with their phones...

Yeah they are annoying me. He seems fine with it.

Glad I checked in on this thread. I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into.

Turned it on for a minute and turned it off. Can't watch it. Just can't.

Same. Will check it out once we know he’s okay. Free Solo was tense enough and you knew he lived…

 

[Gonzo]

Dude's grip strength has to be insane.

 

[coolerifyoudid]

I want to puke just watching him stand on top with the drone circling him.

Did he make it?

 

[BCClone]

Did he make it?

He got 10 feet up, slipped, fell and gave himself a concussion and couldn’t remember who he was.

 

[Peter]

Did he make it?

Yup. No death.
