"I don’t think about much while actually climbing. But I do think about that beforehand normally. I think it’s important to fully think things through—to really understand the consequences of my choices."

In 2017, when Alex Honnold made his stunning free-solo ascent of Yosemite’s El Capitan, he was taking an unimaginable risk: nearly three thousand feet of climbing without any ropes or safety equipment.
In 2014 Alex Honnold free-soloed El Sender Luminoso 5.12d in El Portero Chico, Mexico in a little over 3 hours. The climb rises 2,500 feet to the summit of El Toro.
"I don’t think this is close to the hardest thing ever. Several people (Alain Robert, Alex Huber, many more) have soloed harder single pitches. As have I. And Hansjorg Auer had soloed a wall in the Dolomites that’s a similar difficulty and even taller. It’s not like soloing is a competition, it’s more about aesthetics and inspiration. But for me personally it was a new challenge just because it’s a different style of climbing. Maybe not my hardest ever, but very satisfying either way."
In 2009 Alex Honnold astonished the climbing world when he free-soloed the regular northwest face of Half Dome 5.12.
“If I have a particular gift, it’s a mental one. The ability to keep it together where others might freak out.”
