you watch an Alex Honnold video and you feel more relaxed after watching it than you were before watching it

[@rexhargrove5172]

Love how he doesn’t latch on to the nonsense vanlife trend.

[@alexriver4997]

I saw the 60 minutes episode on him with my family and it was amazing!✌🏻️⛰

[@someoneout-there2165]

You're the best. A real man!

[@MattNicassio]

Where is this? Was this in Yosemite? Route?

[@ronnoccjh]

anyone know the guitar track at the beginning?

[@Squids_Vlogs]

Yeah they definitely made Alex wear a helmet for this... I've never seen him wear a helmet.

[@timkim4784]

He wears a helmet a lot actually

[@Squids_Vlogs]

where? and compared to who?

[@timkim4784]

What do you mean where? Do you follow him, or just watch videos of him soloing? I'd guess every trad route he does is with a helmet.

[@Squids_Vlogs]

Ive seen just about every piece of footage of alex on the internet for the past 7 years. the only places ive seen him wear a helmet are with mark doing a first accent somewhere and in patagonia places were loose rock and ice fall a lot. and for this little trad climb in this video... they definitely asked for him or made him wear one

[@papasmurftw]

Lot's of climbers will wear a helmet when free climbing because if they lose their grip and fall, they're basically a pendulum and smack back against the wall. if you hit it with your head with no helmet, well then you know what happens. Also, marketing for North Face/REI

[@ronbo191]

Alex, I hope you made a backup copy of your journal just in case it gets lost or destroyed . That is 10 years of your life in that book..

[@joshuadavis6411]

I've never met you but you have managed to motivate me beyond explanation. Past few months I've given not the life style but the climbing serious thought. I need a challenge and you Mr. No big deal opened up a world of it. Thanking someone I've never met doesn't happen allot. Yet my hat is completely off to you and the entire Northface team. Thank you all for the inspiration~

[@jivarishi]

Likewise Joshua. After hearing and watching the Free Solo trailer he is my new inspiration. Much love, Sudarshan Gurung

O to be young, fit, and seemingly carefree, not hemmed in by societies trappings to wake up to those surroundings: waking to an alarm vs when you are well rested, work (sedentary job in a serial cube farm), mortgage/rent, cell phone.

[@MelTuly]

A think it's a lovely and inspirational way to live .

[@Nerflover10097]

Nice new ride! Looks way comfier than that other shitbox.

[@Strade8]

i thought the same : )

[@biancagoodnight1750]

It's not the stuff you have.But how happy you are.

[@dogsbyfire]

Nice video. A follow-up with more details on the van setup would be nice. It's unlikely that a lot of viewers are going to take up residence in a van, but many may convert a van or pickup into a convenient hiking/climbing/backpacking base camp. This can be much, much less expensive than purchasing an RV.

[@romuloambay9624]

alex spartan or frugal life represents a contrast to that of western materialism and successful professional athletes- an endless desire of luxuries from mansions to sportscars, exclusive clubs, body outfits that hounds almost every professional sportsmen. .despite his success people were astounded to found him living in a van instead of luxurious house and other personal amenities. .

[@dannydillon997]

Love the guitar and any content including our hero Alex.

[@Teriyakichck]

Alex Honnold uses a journal not a smart phone Be like Alex...

[@brianjoyce9742]

Alex 'gets it' in life

[@markschuette3770]

AND WHERE IS HIS LYCRA !

[@idaklymr]

That is so 1989

[@richardportman8912]

Please don't do that again! If you have lived in Yosemite, then you have met Miwok people. Tutakanula helped you. Don't be always expecting that.
