This dude is a real hero - humble, doesnt chase the millions he couldve made from marketing, discusses ideas to help the earth, lives out of his van a lot of the time... This is the Michael Jordan of climbing. Nobody else is close to this dude....like hendrix - he has nobody ahead - he's creating the game. He puts fear in another place and defies biochemistry in how he controls fear/adrenaline... Straight up - he's a role model. Does it for the love and only the love.

[@markzucc3277]

Michael Jordan is the Alex Honnold of basketball

[@Gregorypeckory]

I'm a big fan too, but to be fair, Alex is as likely as any climber to make the sport more lucrative for both himself and others. I am certain money hasn't, and never will become a primary motivation for him, but I also think the sport isn't exactly a gold mine that would make a great climber shift focus toward "chasing millions"; where are these millions? Even pretending for a second, that he did decide to focus on making as much money as possible, most likely, what he's doing would be the best way to continue to attract the kind of attention that can be parlayed into endorsement deals, movie deals and cash and he is doing that, which is great, because it allows him to climb constantly.

[@saint7626]

Alex genuinely doesn't seem to care. As long as he gets to climb, he's a happy dude.

i love the guy that went above and beyond to make sure they were ok only to return and see alex and co just chillin lmfao

[@llsspp]

Anyone else notice his surname is an anagram of HOLD ONN

[@howlinsg1968]

Or Hold n on

[@garrettk7166]

@John Dunbar if you drop letters, it isn't an anagram.

[@Mimsyborogove923]

"Hold'n On" I think is the best.

[@kenbrunet6120]

Also "old honn" French accent of hold on

[@m74d3]

Yes, yes you are

[@jacoblundgren3731]

"That was a really smooth insertion" " that's what she said" "You can't even feel it" " that's what she said"

[@albang8804]

i feel bad for you smally

[@RndZApprox]

1 tough mother fucker... smart + fearless + knows his every step = Alex Honnold Aka Harambe

[@ryandearmun]

I see myself In him haha

[@funnybone569]

It’s so crazy to see how happy those kids are just to have a light! I took so much for granted.

[@alexreid4131]

1:41 _Alex_ "I'm gonna be like those Russian dudes. I'm gonna like press out a hand stand on the edge here. Take a bunch of selfies and then like be a you know viral internet sensation. That'd be rad." There are levels in all walks of life. The dudes taking selfies is on one level. Alex Honnold......a whooooooooole different universe of levels.

[@SavvySinks]

everything he does is so smooth and calculated

[@PapaAV]

Still remember him from JRE

[@chungfumaster]

+King Junior That podcast was so awkward. As much as I love Joe Rogan, he needs to do a better job at researching his guests before they come on his show. Alex is awkward to begin with, but having him sit through Joe going on his rants about consciousness and spirituality made me super uncomfortable.

[@Monscent]

+chungfumaster Uh..you just misrepresented that episode of the JRE so hard lol. It was a great friggin episode, yeah he didnt research him too well (he doesnt really with anyone thats not a part of MMA or psych drugs), but he didnt make him "sit thru rants" at all. Go rewatch it man.

[@drcraby356]

0:35 "Its kinda scary" ...you don't say, Alex

[@Sloppyjoe7390]

Wow this video is amazing, seeing you guys help put solar lights in that village and the kids dancing around it at night was really heart felt hey. And solo climbing that rock they would have been amazed. What a absolute awesome video 👍 big ups to you guys that helped out and brought alot of joy and entertainment to the world 😊

[@simmojosh71]

I love how that guy on the ground is panicking and rushing around and alex is just like yeah we have to head back down now

[@chrisss3749]

The bongo drums definitely didn't help

[@blue-penguin_]

Alex Honnold is so inspiring on so many different levels.

[@huluvublue112]

16:37 lol the guy spotted Alex at the bottom of the climb

[@handigeharrie4354]

that was cringy

[@jonesjeremiah]

I saw someone dislocate his knee jumping down from a height like that. He wasn't a pro climber but still its easy to injure yourself even from a low height like that. And also when it comes to climbing accidents happens mostly because of human error. If you start to slack because its easy and you have done it a hundred times then you start doing mistakes. Especially when you spot or belay someone you always stay focused and alert even when its easy or the risk is low. You need to condition your brain to be on point. If you guys think this is cringy then you are just idiots and hopefully you will never spot someone because you are not trustworthy.

[@willboot6812]

After he spotted him at the VERY bottom... he went for the high 10 and Alex yeeted him XD

[@mywonderjam]

Honestly, I can barely climb out of bed most days.

[@zilvoxidgod]

"fluffer of the trip" you know that's such a sad way of describing a pretty cool job. Paid decently I bet, fun, outdoors, and critically important for this sport. The guy is a professional rock climber who can put in the infrastructure and additionally has training in first aid. I mean damn he's a shoe in for any professional rock climber's team.

[@duncans2070]

Yea dude it was really annoying me how he’s like constantly complaining about a job he is getting paid to do and agreed to.

[@jasonfjordlund2338]

Yep, he could have just been thankful and positive.

[@naruhina012607]

I'm feeling sick, lets go climb a mountain to relax. Dude, if i was in that position i wouldn't even get out of bed.

[@Blueeyesinthesky]

naruhina012607 he just really loves it lol

[@lilab27]

this was great! it was nice that it didn't focus exclusively on alex.

[@ianthompson7316]

Alex, you are probably my biggest inspiration. My dream is to become a really good rock climber. Just like you, my favorite climbing area is definitely Yosemite National Park. I'm only 16 but my passion for rock climbing plays such a huge role in my life. I love how involved you are in volunteering also. Keep it up man, you're a beast!!!

[@MakinEmAtNight26]

Well Ian are ya good at climbing yet? It’s been two years

[@TheHerpieDerpies]

@John Dunbar Who hurt you?

[@demolinertom2981]

@John Dunbar who cares about what people like you think ? Who is deciding what is useless and what´s not ? What is the usefull stuff you focused on ? Trading ? Lol, fuck off you dumb paternalist

[@Gregorypeckory]

@John Dunbar Nobody cares what you think.

[@citizenfox5721]

@John Dunbar This dude probably a welfare queen with a bud light resting on top of his potbelly rising up and down cause he's mouthbreathing so hard, typing furiously about how others are useless while he mooches off the government and beats his wife

[@EE-zd6xh]

Fluffer dude is the best. also major credit to Stacey the military guy....bravo! thanks for sharing your story.

[@LukaDoncicLikesGiraffes]

Me: why would all these random African people sit there and just waste time watching Alex climb? Also me: *spends the last 4 hours watching Alex Honnold videos*

[@AntonAdelson]

They had gotten to see the real thing!

[@benja1378]

I think it is quite obvious how dumb, insensitive and racist it is to say something like that. Africa is a continent with 54 countries on it and the country they're in is called Angola...

[@psybitwhite3381]

This man deserves every bit of his success.

[@MrNewyork1975]

Some say Alex Honnold climbed out of his mother at birth.

[@SonsOfDeForest]

legend says it was 7c+

[@gmb7200]

Then he free solo'd all the way up titty mountain for a fresh drink at the top

[@gmb7200]

No umbilical cord

[@brandonparra9153]

Alex seems like a cool, down to earth dude and Angola just looks beautiful. Enjoyed the vid, keep them comin

[@VisionaryAshley]

guy is just so graceful and I am just finding him in 2023 at a much needed time.

[@flexangelo]

He climbed and they followed and made roads. This is immense and beautiful damnn

[@f0rumrr]

The man, the myth, the legend, How can you not love this dude.

[@eternalreign2313]

Maybe because he's teaching impressionable young kids how to do something dangerous? How many of these kids will end up dead trying to do what he's doing?

[@f0rumrr]

@@eternalreign2313 I feel sorry for you, we all gunna die someday. I just hope I have no regrets.

[@inmyopinion651]

Why no link to his foundation for those of us who want to donate?

[@supermikeyd]

Super stoked to learn about the Honnold Foundation. I did a TED Talk on a Zero Energy, Water, Waste Future and projects like the solar panel battery and LED light are part of the solution! madd Props

[@LDBCFC]

I love Alex, such a nice and humble guy.

[@PeeKayEx]

Alex “That was really smooth insertion” His friend “that what she said”

[@noahchicoine4780]

This was super cool is SO many ways. The helping of the communities with rock climbing. Such an amazing juxtaposition.

[@ericborthistle]

Angola. "The Yosemite of Africa"
