I remember watching it and thinking that it was definitely not built to handle that kind of weight. Edit: here it is: youtu.be/B76ysGuyi7M?t=187I heard from a friend who met a guy who looked like Alex that he actually weighs 900lbs. Good point. |

Some people on this thread have different opinions, but I appreciated his candor and human side. From the media, it's easy to think he's just a free soloing robot. Not so in this text. |

You are kidding me. This is not the real Alex. This is drivel that is meant to sell books. You guys are suckers for a lame-o story about how my relationship angst made me go all crazy and free solo on a whim. Check into reality please. |

Alex Honnold climbs with no rope and empty heart soloing doesn't help He wishes himself to keep his climbing girlfriend feeling it's soon over Honnold must not cry Must utilize crushing grip On small pad pocket Honnold climbs through crux Aroused that he did not fall yet sad way to van Oh rainbow corners why have you not filled my heart I'll just go crush more...or he could just "tongue stab her in the fartbox." |
