I've always been curious about that. I'm don't climb myself (not yet at least), but is it actually possible to lose a finger that way in this style of rock climbing?
@ColeMorgan2585 жыл бұрын
@@sk69to96 There has been stories of climbers losing fingers to the first knuckle or so but I've never heard of anyone losing an entire finger. That being said, the types of cracks that you could potentially lose fingers on are really steep finger cracks that are typically graded pretty hard. I wouldn't worry about it to much as a beginning climber!

Many people don’t realise how just 1 millimetre on a route like this can spell the difference between success and failure. When he made it at the end I don’t think he was stronger than when he started. He must have tweaked something in his knee position or hips that made it so much smoother that last move. Impressive!

People must understand that while climbing is very competitive, it's not as intense as the completion going on in your head, when your fighting your own demons, a personal war. First ascends, being the fastest, that's all great. But when you top out your project, you are the king of your kingdom. Alex or anyone cant take that away from you, and they don't want too, climbers are a special type of folk. That's what makes climbing great.
@bengordon23305 жыл бұрын
True, but it applies to any sport with risk/reward in my opinion. You let ego be your motivation, you'll mostly ever know frustration. Skiing, climbing, skateboarding, mountainbiking - in all these sports I've only had the greatest joy when, as you say, I am the king of my kingdom, focussed on making something I want happen, not something I think will impress my peers.

Alex Honold is a very enigmatic human being, who dares himself to die and yet seems to enjoy it! His braininess lies in the fact that he memorizes every hold and step on the area he's climbing, but, I'm afraid that some day, he is going to be a different kind of statistic. I know he's very careful, but he should quit while he's ahead! Don't press your luck, humans age, and their aging body just cannot do what it used to do, and if you don't realize that, you can die. I'm sure that MUST enter their minds, but they brush it aside, but they can't do that forever.

Not by a long shot, but he certainly is probably the best climber in the world, free-climbing, anyway! He is simply brave, a bit daring and very competent and self-reliant, all extreme necessities in his free-climbing, plus, maybe a little good luck! I wouldn't do that for all the money in the world, but then, he doesn't do it for money, for him, I think it is strictly self-accomplishment. I wish he'd quit that though, I don't EVER want to read about him having a fall free-climbing! But then, I think ALL mountain climbers are very brave and some, more than a bit daring! As long as they aren't trying to impress anyone but themselves, I can't knock it! But today, especially on Mt. Everest, crowds are spoiling it for the true alpinists, causing their deaths from over-crowding and WE HATE THAT! Tyros who climb it to brag should never even BE on that mountain!

right on man! would have liked to see you do it first but you are definitely a world class climber and trad climber at that which is big in my books....I am from eastern Canada, been climbing about thirty years now....I remember my first trip to Squamish....I thought I was a half decent climber....I'd spent a decade doing ice and rock in the Lake Louise area - i was consistently climbing in the hard 10s on trad only gear which made me happy - but when i hit squamish the first route i did was on the Apron I believe it is called - a 5.9 crack which I was on the sharp end ....never have I ever felt like a bigger idiot in my life - had no clue how to climb a fairly wide granite crack....my feet kept getting stuck, in to deep, my hands were shredded - looked like I'd been in a bare knuckle brawl....so anyway, much respect to you man - such a great accomplishment you should be very proud!!
