climbing with Alex Honnold **Insane experience**

“I don’t have many partners left to do this with… they either died or retired or had kids!” Yeah I would be walking back to the car at that point haha

Magnus is never gonna call Alex to hangout again.

"magnus is getting slighty stressed but he is doing great" is a hilarious response to this situation

I love how Alex is the best and worst peer pressure at the same time

Alex stood there on the mountain filming like some kind of bipedal mountain goat.

Magnus: I'm pretty scared. Alex: Cool.

That long pause after Magnus asks who do you usually climb with.. Ruminating on his fallen friends no doubt. Craziness.

imagine your last meal being a whole, raw, red pepper..

"It's a little scary since you can die but it should be fine" never change Alex

Alex had this confidence and serenity not because of years of experience, but because he held the camera. and the cameraman never dies.

magnus: "this is kinda scary tho" Alex: "yeah...yeah"

getting sprung into free soloing by alex honold and actually doing it. Insane amounts of respect.

Alex inspired me to climb the stairs without a hand on the railing. Some say it is unsustainable and eventually I'm going to fall. But it's not like I just go up unprepared. I have climbed those stairs using the railing many times. I know where all the good steps and holds are. I am careful to be sure I am able to down climb it if I get into an unsafe spot. When you have a certain level of skill, free stair solo looks more difficult than it really is. People are always asking my wife if she worries I will fall to my death or maybe to a bruise. Her reply is always the same: "It is his life and he has to choose his own path. But if he doesn't clean all that damn chalk off the stairs, I'm going to push him down myself."

This is unreal, big up for that 1.5 hour mental battle

i dont see many people talk about this but its kind of insane the version of alex that magnus was able to capture in this video. he's always seemed fairly stand off ish and cold, even in his own documentary. still funny and charming, but distant. but here, he seems like our best friend and its so rad to see this like, hype mode friend who gets you inspired to do something.

This is the most intense video on YouTube. Should have a billion views. Huge props to Magnus. And glad to hear he will not be soloing again - once in a lifetime experience is enough for a lifetime.

Alex literally will not let any negative thought manifest into something.

UPDATE: After a lot of back and forth YouTube turned monetization back on! Thank you for all your support! Sadly YouTube demonetized this video. I don't care about not getting paid, but it also means YouTube will not push the video to people. I worked extra hard on this one and I want as many people as possible to see it, so if you can share it with your friends that would mean the world to me❤

Genuinely one of the craziest video I’ve seen more than 10 years watching YouTube. Literally life or death situation. Alex is such a insane human being.

You just can't hide Magnus' nervousness. It's not the difficulty of the climb but the finality of one mistake that boggles your mind.
