Alex Honnold

I was going to put this in the things that make you feel good thread, but this seemed more deserving of it's own thread.

It's a short documentary on a yank free climber. Thought it was quite mental.

That is crazy.....but brilliant.

Pretty amazing. Feel sorry for the parents though.

This one's pretty mind blowing too, if not quite in the same league of terrifying. It's amazing what some humans do.

two amazing vids. 

The absolute self-control and intense concentration of Honnold is awesome

It is ALL horrifying.

I was fascinated by "the point of no return" where he has to carry on upwards because he can no longer turn back and also the near final part where he has neither to move too quickly and risk slipping nor too slowly and risk losing all strength in his arms.

I bet he would be a clinical finisher through on goal.
