Honnold wasn't weighed down by a rental harness. Free soloing is aid.

RIP Climbing Stuff, he died doing what he loved...

Hating on slab.

Instead of autobelays why didnt you just get some guy named Mike to belay you

This also gives me much more appreciation of Pete Whitaker's rope solo of free rider. He had to free each pitch, rap down it, then jug back up and clean it. All by himself for 22 hours. Must have been absolutely brutal. It often gets over looked by Honnold's free solo. But the physical exertion required from Pete was phenomenal.

Next collab- getting honnold to climb 3000ft of v7 boulders.

One of the best videos ive seen tbh to put it in to perspective on how hard it was to Free solo that thing by Alex. like when u consider any mistake is death, its outside, its even harder. like jesus christ.

@Icetemplar 2 years ago

You should be proud that 6 of you is about as good as one third of Alex Honnald

@maxthiessen412 2 years ago

Very noble of you to sacrifice, not only your clones, but also yourself in the name of science.

@downhillupside 2 years ago

And it only took Honnold 4 hours to rip through that climb.

@kylem7890 2 years ago

Excited for your upcoming documentary where you show this Alex Handhold guy how its really done.

@snazz001 2 years ago

That slow motion fall on the slab was brutal 😂

@BAAAASJE 2 years ago

What in the jug ladder is that V7, hmmm?!

@carbonatedmilk1 2 years ago

One difference I think you're missing is that Alex's free solo wasn't done with hands and legs. Those were actually just edited in to censor the fact that he was climbing only with his massive pair of steel nuts

Just found out about your channel and I’m new to climbing, just tried climbing for the first time the other day and I’m hooked. Love the content man!

@johnblack7862 2 years ago

Having climbing the Free Blast before, I will say that what you did here is probably harder from a pump factor. A lot of easy climbing exists on those pitches (like no hands rests and 5.4 slab climbing) that you won't get on a gym 5.10.
