Alex Honnold free solo

[@MVPBozeman]

I can't seem to find any comments that aren't at least 5 years old. actually finding this rare footage of Alex after all his fame, feels like a time machine, this is what made Alex the guy he is!!!

[@techno.drew_]

"well i did astroman in like an hour, might as well go do the rostrum too." the fuck?

[@GritLup]

He's so chill about it too. Insane.

[@jimmyhayers]

birdshit always adds another layer to the intensity

[@GoldmemberProduction]

Dude, this guy is SOO good. I will never be able to climb this well! Props to you Alex.

[@DanilZakirov-j3d]

Seeing the Astroman in person is so different than seeing it in video. That thing is huge. You got to be from a different planet to think you can free solo climb it. Legendary.

[@michelleorgill86]

I've heard Alex talk about this climb, but hadn't seen any footage, this is a super-cool find!

[@DiamorphineDeath]

Astroman is no joke...

[@papachan23]

crazy looking back at this

[@fym125]

it makes my hands and feet sweat just watching this stuff i hope 1 day i can complete somethink like this would be a real life goal. very inspirational

[@vladraduandrei5227]

why ? fall to your death, thats your life goal ? to climb a fing rock lol ?

[@stephenr80]

I still n always get marvelled, as a climber this kid is just hilarious

[@HumanbeingonfloatingEarth]

alex is an inspiration to just suck it up and get on with it. much respect.

[@onnobosma184]

Alex honnold the best free solo climber in the world.

[@BATgirl2263]

He has gorgeous eyes

[@britto99]

what an absolute mad man

[@brucehodson2763]

What astounds me most about Alex is that he doesn't "train". He just climbs every day that he isn't traveling to climb.

[@Squids_Vlogs]

thats the best training for soloing is climbing everyday

[@GeetarAdam]

That isn't entirely true. While he doesn't have a strict training regimen like a lot of sport climbers, he does a lot of running, and I've heard him reference core training and finger training routines in interviews.

[@Squids_Vlogs]

GeetarAdam ya lately hes been running bouldering finger training to get that power he lacks, but back in these days he just climbs a shitload, trying new things is good though

[@GeetarAdam]

WeBeChillin420 True. This seems to be older footage. And for his purposes, specialized training doesn't seem to be as important as over-all stamina. He solos routes well under his maximum ability, so developing maximum strength with specific training isn't nearly as important as honing his general ability to climb long sustained routes.

[@Squids_Vlogs]

hes very solid climbing very slow and controlled, climbing a bunch and building that risk for tolerance mental strength is a biggest part imo

[@1honeybun]

living legend, time machine video right here

[@izzymancini]

Massive balls, very impressed, definitely not human.."that's what makes us human?", so Alex knows..Big Fan! keep it up, we love it!!!!

[@willybilly3431]

young man in the country, stand up and ello!

[@requshei]

That's awesome. All he needs is a chalk bag and climbing shoes. Not even a crash pad..

[@paulricci7696]

My son Carlos climbed Astroman 5.11c. in the heart of Yosemite.

[@BruceJC75]

I don't think there will ever be anybody to even come close to this guy! Wow!

[@Anacleto37]

Valar Dohaeris... it depends "where" and "how". He is really on top!

[@southsidesun]

Sweaty palms... so good. Honnold is talking at Planet Granite in San Francisco on April 27 - ASCA fundraiser - should be excellent, check it out

[@Existentialexplosion]

This crazy crazy dude's incredible climbing fits so well with adventurous music of Santana!

[@BMcRaeC]

This guy is a total machine; it's like he's uploaded the route and he's doing it in the matrix. Ice water in his veins!

[@giustiman]

i just... cant believe it

[@mp29k]

totally legit! this guy is amazing, and there are no tricks here.

[@SquaredCircle777]

absolutely insane.

[@ToddHoward3]

what an epic recommendation from youtube

[@shyama1]

Dan Osman didn't die on a night jump. Also, the ropes he was using to do his ropes jumps weren't static. Some idiot in the comments said they were. Static ropes would snap you in two if you fell from a long enough distance on one of them. He was using climbing ropes, which do have just enough elasticity to them to absorbe a climbers fall. The longer the fall, the more stretch there will be, because more rope is involved. Anyhow, you do this kind of shit long enough, you will die doing it.

[@Lamonte424]

balls of steel!

[@mafka000]

holy sh*t! this guy is a real superman O_______o

[@Ulises_C1]

Eric Pearlman, many Thanks!!!

[@jaymoop]

jeeesssuuuuss christ, this guy has no fears at all... a fucking beast

[@ny80smania]

Fuckin insane, I wanna meet this guy b4 he dies

[@dan27music]

Remarkable.

[@Dangerstophe]

The man!!!

[@jonanjello]

I've been on an Alex Hollond weekend of viewing pics and videos. The kid is insane. I'm short of breath and with sweaty palms. Jeez, kid, please be safe.

[@BreezyOG]

are you kidding me? do you see this? this is amazing stuff, and he says he doesn't do anything he doesn't think he can do.

[@ericvanderpool25]

Phenomenal

[@mistgl]

@OM3N1R Osmond died bungee jumping. The lines crosses and severed - end result was splat. Life lesson - don't jump when the ropes where set up by a bunch of bohemian, pot head hippies.

[@xxxKingArsenalxxx]

@FinSnky Ok Buddy I will Try and keep that in Mind!

[@BenVanWinkleCello]

so raw

[@lldsandsll]

hon solo is the man

[@eixenful]

This guy has huge eyes!!!

[@HellsyeahNZ]

Haha even he's like "oh shit I can't believe I'm actually doing it"

[@agbity]

Amazing

[@itsnotzoolander]

But... HOW??! Now that's what I call impressive!

[@kirbybrien8445]

What song is that? Never heard it before I dig it

[@ownedbystealth]

@mistgl. Dan osman didn't die bungie jumping. Idk what he would call it, static ropes rigged for long distance falls basically, thats how I would explain it. But his ropes were static, not bungie cords. While attempting to set a new world record, he tried his jump at night to test it and it failed. Simple as that. I got my info from a climbing mag.

[@BadMannerKorea]

Dude is crazy.

[@keehin]

Hike down, have a little lunch, hung out a little bit?? For most of us, hiking itself is a workout.

[@LewisTheMacDaddy]

Generally he climbs the most intense face of the mountain and for the descent he take a less strenuous trail around the back of the mountain.

[@SM92126]

This is one of my favorite videos. I like vid's that are amazing.... What's the song for the rostrum?

[@godrilla]

My hands were sweating from watching and my hands barely sweat.

[@LolTac0Bell]

my hands are so sweaty from this...

[@tyresmoke]

other climbers with ropes though, climb up to certain points with cameras, or rappel down to specific spots.

[@zetiic]

He was like "yeah" wtf? i would like "YEEAAAHHH" and quit.

[@georgegilles9008]

Great

[@xxxKingArsenalxxx]

Jersey channel Island has Some Sick Cliffs and caves to Solo But This, Is Awsome, Anyone got any tips for a Amature free climber?

[@MrAGSimpson]

@akaBrilliant26 he's not borderline sociopathic, he is a gifted guy with a dream, and more than 75% of the climbs he does aren't even free soloes

[@gowiththefluer]

@gosports123 people repel down from the top. they don't climb up, it'd be too hard to climb up with all the equipment necessary, and it'd take HOURS to set up cameras/get to the different heights in order to film.

[@ACE9647]

they shouldve played like, explosions in the sky or something

[@JeffersonDinedAlone]

His parents understand one thing better than anything else; closed coffin.

[@FunStuff704]

@poeticmelodies Yes, I agree!

[@weiner66]

Alex today, aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh tomorrow

[@celtic125434849]

climbing down is 10x harder than climbing up. After 100 feet theres no turning back

[@vincenthana541]

I have seen things that are badass.. but this is off the scale.

[@Olbert111]

@dylanfigo1 I think the jam was heroic because heroical isnt actually a word

[@NacionalDelacabeza]

Spidermannnnn!

[@sunnydays365]

Wow.

[@iinflammablearies]

@Cannonbo people repel and set up cameras along the route hes climbing.

[@ncnifrej]

anybody else get sweaty hands watching this?

[@ChiChiBabe44]

You are Leo the Lion. Figures you would do this, but I panic & have to look away. I'm also a Leo but being a woman this is too risky. Please stay safe ~~

[@pamelakhoulihan]

hottest thing ive ever seen.

[@moviesforrandy]

good luck.

[@Squids_Vlogs]

ya i was bouncing my ass to the last one

[@awanahtunowhiho]

whats the name of the song at 4:15, pretty sure its by gab but can't seem to find it via the lyrics. bad ass song, almost as bad ass as alex

[@NoobInaCan]

@WithoutChase little angels from Heaven watching his back, and they just happened to pack a camera that day :)

[@Cannonbo]

@iinflammablearies ah interesting. thx for the reply

[@m0uZy]

well...to which climbing tradition do you actually refer this to? Where I am climbing (Palatinate, Germany) it is allowed to use natural things like trees. But don't think that this makes it easier. I don't even know anything harder than 6b with a tree in the route or even a tree in an overhang ;) greetz from palatinum

[@akaBrilliant26]

@nicrossen my thoughts exactly. Crazy.

[@oopositive]

we all die eventually

[@MrHotgossip]

@WithoutChase There are a team of cameramen who are dangling on a rope nearby.

[@andrewischau]

"fresh bird dung on the cracks"

[@ReconRaptor]

Cool story bro.

[@ShrekSwag]

how did they film this?

[@smjsychj]

I miss Dan..

[@celpabedn]

i would have a parachute for this, even if he is 100% what if some strong winds come? But i think these are some different people, they are wired to not fear as much...

[@ihateputin1]

Does anyone know the name of the song starting at 3:25? I can't seem to find it anywhere :(

[@DeeAreDee]

So whats the little pouch on his hip for?

[@justcallmegod2]

Valar Morghulis

[@moviesforrandy]

@sksuortti she must be so proud dropped out school and not even makeing any money.

[@JimboWizbo]

"Bigger, and bolder" GET IT? BOULDER? LOLOLOLOLOL

[@90sum90]

My mouse has a tonne of sweat on it now!

[@LewisTheMacDaddy]

Train by day.

[@2enjoihsu]

[@aquazone4]

Vaya huevos amigo.

[@jtobin1985]

[@helio2k]

[@tommywoodcock]

@joeriverdog That won't happen to him, he is too conscious of it. He does it for himself.

[@JovianMeissner]

What's the second song that plays in this?
