The Incredible Hulk: Emily Harrington & Alex Honnold Free Climb "Solar Flare" | The North Face

[@nl7352]

When I was little I free soloed the kitchen counter to get to the cabinets

[@travelion.5254]

I was more like a spider man.

[@tricktaylor]

I free soloed my bunk beds after an accident with ropes. my mom had to cut me down. Turns out you dont just tie them around your waist. You can hyrt yourself like that.

[@pamacons]

I tried free soloing onto the table to get a hot dog and fell and got 10 stitches in my brow

[@laptopdoc]

😁🤣🤣

[@johnpenland1742]

I free solved grandmas tree when I was 5 years old. It is about 60 feet tall. I wasn't to swing sticks around I might poke out an eye. Nobody ever told me I could break my fool neck falling out of the tree.

[@philiprowland9390]

Nice to see these two climbing monsters exemplify safety and professionalism, while also having a good, nice, fun, supportive time. And good for North Face for supporting this attitude.

[@MrMattyHoff]

"Alex was thinking we would simal climb the first four pitches, I was thinking we would just climb it like normal people" incredible haha

[@valbuigfx2691]

[@nickmartin123456]

@Lino Andrade "pitch" here actually has nothing to do with angles. A long climb is broken up into multiple sections called "pitches", which are usually about the length of the rope. Each person has their turn climbing the pitch while their partner sits still and belays. Then reset and do the next pitch. Alex, notorious for his love of fast and risky climbing, suggests "simul-climbing" or simultaneous climbing with a "running belay". In "simul-climbing", the belayer is also climbing while the lead climbing is climbing the next pitch. The team can move much faster up the route, but there are many more moments in which a fall could lead to serious disaster.

[@That_one_guy27]

@@nickmartin123456 thank you for this info I have been climbing for a few months and still learning the terminology. Always great to know there are others out there willing to teach and help others grow. Much respect and positive vibes toward you

[@JessaJayVlogs]

They have great chemistry together as climbing partners! Alex knows when to push Emily, and Emily isn't afraid to tell Alex when he's being nuts. HA. Brilliant.

[@YogSoth]

As long as Alex remembers to not tie his shoes while he’s belaying her, they’ll continue to make a great team after Emily recovers.

"Thanks for the Beta...it was Mega!" With spit on his chin and face he looks razzled, and he didn't hide that it was a tough spot and she helped him. His humility is what makes me like his so much, he wasn't threatened to say she had the right answer.

[@kalen1702]

I watched Free Solo recently (the documentary about Alex's free climb of El Capitan), and it's fantastic. I don't really know anything about climbing, but it had a great mix of Alex's life, his motives, some insight, and actual raw footage with helpful commentary of the climb. Just totally worth your $4 to rent some night in the future.

[@Riomojo]

Check out Alex Honnold Climbs Angola and the other capitan doc called The Dawn Wall, you’ll love both

The endless push, on Emily, to go bigger and harder, from Alex, will Always keep me coming back to see more.....

Alex you are such an amazing climber. super inspirational thanks, keep up the good work. Go emily go emily go emily go go go!!!

they look like brother and sister! great complicity, awesome climb

[@rickyism1576]

Alex was definitely the fuel for Emily's El Cap climb.. the way she talks about him and her admiration for what he is to the sport on the Rogan podcast plus this video, you can see what the relationship is like. I hope that is Alex's future and no more free solo attempts...

[@MichelleeRae]

Great video :) Love their chemistry as climbing partners!

[@01psychosocial10]

Really like the Camera-angles you can see how they are climbing not just someone on a wall from far who is working his way up. Overall good job. Keep it up!

[@twstf8905]

She's continuously impressive. I've seen her get incredibly frustrated, over and over, trying one pitch or another she's struggling with, only to see her pull it off eventually every time, which makes her one of the World's hardest working climbers. Amazing. 👍

[@j.s.3414]

Here I am trying to master the beginner routes at my local gym. 5.6-5.7 feels like a giant kick in the nuts 🤣

This guy blows me away. He is amazing

[@Ravenblues]

Seeing Alex in gear is weird

[@jordankrecek1373]

Only if you hadn't heard of him until Free Solo was released. Free soloing is about 0.001% of his climbing (and that's from Alex's mouth)

[@chrisreid5745]

Damn near everything he climbs he uses gear and ropes

[@noskillzdad5504]

When he was putting on that helmet, he looked as uncomfortable as somebody getting naked in the middle of work meeting.

[@Ravenblues]

@Patricia A. Badea yeah of course, free soloing without prior practice is suicide as well it was more a play on how good he is rather than expecting him to climb everything without safety, that would be simply crazy

[@badazz07sti]

I was wondering what was "off " about this video, and you nailed it

[@incidentalist]

I free soloed the stair stepper earlier today, for a solid 25 mins!! 🙌🙌🤗🤗

[@philipwire6988]

Emily's fall at Yosemite put the comments about simulclimbing in a different context...

[@jesussaddle]

Yes, and she said Alex wanted to Simul Climb it. To me that's partly the reason Free Solo is such a wonderful film - that they let it be up to Alex what he did. I hope she makes her own choices as well.

[@SephCat74]

The coffee she was drinking in the beginning, I swear, that's the best fucken canned coffee ever.

Big respect to Peter Croft and Conrad Anker for the route

[@MattNicassio]

Very very cool! Two big names killing a classic route, put up by legends. Would love to see more of these two crushing. Or a project would be sweet

[@midi510]

Peter Croft is amazing. (Be careful shaking his hand.) He did the Palisade traverse from car to Temple Craig, Gayley, Sill, Polemonium, N. Palisade, Starlight, Thunderbolt, Winchell, Agassiz, and back to the car in 24 hours. I consider that to be one of the greatest mountaineering feats in US history. For the article: www.alpinist.com/doc/web14f/wfeature-palisades-mountain-profile-peter-croft. Other good articles about the Palisades: www.alpinist.com/doc/ALP48/44-mountain-profile-palisades-robinson.

[@hopebear06]

First class production and first class climbers. Great stuff!

[@rockclimbing3844]

Incredible Hulk is on my list great video

[@dsenunez]

Alex mention that climbing the freerider in a day would be a goo idea. A few months later, since this video was posted, he freesolo the freerider in less than 5 hours. Maybe this was part of his training.

[@Brian_Moser1118]

it blows my mind to think about how strong these climbers are and how much pain tolerance they have. I have tried indoor climbing at a gym with a 33 ft wall and it was painful as shit. These people are climbing much much more than just 33ft which is insane to me because i remember the pain in my fingers. It was unbearable

[@olivia-bv3ms]

Once you climb a lot you build up calluses on your hands which helps with the pain :)

[@Brian_Moser1118]

hand crack climbing is hard but finger crack climbing blows my mind. It has got to be the hardest type of climbing. How can a person carry their entire weight on the fingertips ?!!!

[@chuffer595]

Liam Gallagher practice! And being able to ignore pain for a while

[@riverwoodruff5986]

finger cracks are definitely not the hardest type of climbing, go watch alex megos or daniel woods do a v16. Or ondra sending la dura dura. Cracks just require a special skill set and technique, and they're very painful ;)

[@mikeydurden]

River Woodruff they're hard but none of those guys would attempt or have the endurance to free solo the climbs he has done regardless of holds.

[@markdanskin8202]

Man when i first got into climbing i thought it wasn't scary. Yeah climbing in a gym on top rope is rad i thought. I would watch all these videos and say "that's gonna be me someday". Now after taking some lead falls outdoors, watching these videos is super scary. I don't get how people do multi pitch, i think i will be too scared forever.

I don't know how people do this. I get dizzy just watching them. And I'm not afraid of heights.

[@zanderascher8205]

1234 there’s a very low risk of dying here. If you know what you are doing rock climbing is relatively safe. Not SAFE, it’s still an extreme sport, but relatively so.

[@midi510]

I'm 60 and this kzbin.info/www/bejne/iKXYnaGtqsqqaMU is what I did two days ago. Wasn't difficult, but I did have to break trail in fresh powder for several miles. Last October, my son and I ice climbed V-Notch and Polemonium Peak in the Palisades in a day from Sam Mack Meadow. One of my day hikes last summer was 25.5 miles and 8'300' vertical. Getting old isn't the problem, getting lazy is. On the way back from The Incredible Hulk, they could hit two natural hot springs if they wanted to.

start small. Start with bouldering indoors, then climb indoor walls that require harnesses (or the other way around if you feel safer with the harness), and then finally you can climb lead (a bit higher and longer routes).
