I will meet him one day soon as he lives very close to me, he is lowkey, but full of energy, I mean, what he accomplished, none of the climbers that climbed Mount Everest all these years would have the climbing skills, nerve and strength to do what he did. The movie made me very emotional, worrying if he fell of El Capitan when the cameraman looked away from his camera in this movie. I have been to Yosemite over 100 times, just hiking, and always watched the climbers with my binoculars and saying, how crazy their desire must be.

Well, climbing Mount Everest is worse, in a way. Over 200 people have died climbing Mount Everest. I think Alex would never ever climb Mount Everest. Too much risk and he's not very good in snow and ice. Some of those Mount Everest climbers, though, are or could be, at any rate, good enough to climb El Cap, but it is insane that he did it without a rope. Still, Mount Everest is harder, in a sense. Ed was the first to climb it in 1953 and pretty much did so without much rope or modern tech. That's crazy. 29,000 feet of freezing crazy.
