News about Alex Honnold

This desert city has, in recent years, become home to an elite class of climbers who find the city to be more affordable, pleasant, and generally compatible with their specific ways of life than other 'nature-oriented' cities. Some of the world's top climbers say this city beats out most other 'nature-oriented' metropolitan areas around the country. 'Free Solo's' Alex Honnold says he thinks it's 'better than any of the other cities in the country that have a reputation for being outdoorsy.'

He survived a gunpoint robbery and a kidnapping attempt, but finally crossed the finish line in Ras Angela at 4.40pm on Sunday afternoon. To achieve his ultimate goal, Russ sacrificed not seeing his friends, family or his girlfriend for 352 days while he was out on the road. He battled illness including blood in his urine and crippling back pain, but powered through it.

Alex Honnold first shot to fame in 2018 when he became the first person in the world to scale the sheer face of Yosemite's El Capitan with no rope. Despite being joined by some of the best climbers in the world and now wearing a harness, his latest venture is no less death-defying. Ingmikortilaq of Greenland is one of the world's biggest unclimbed rock faces. Alex was blinded by freezing blizzards, had his face cut open by falling ice, and negotiated a minefield of hidden crevasses, all before he reached the cliff.

In just four hours and 39 minutes, a rock climber smashed the record for scaling El Capitan of Yosemite. On the morning of October 10, Nick Ehman, 28, scaled the 3,000-foot cliff, covering eight and a half vertical feet per minute. Alex Honnold, the producer of the Oscar-winning 2018 film Free Solo, was the previous record holder who completed the project in five hours and 50 minutes in 2010.

Joe Baker retaliated against those who doubted whether his eight-year-old son Sam was really the youngest person to ever summit El Capitan. Sam completed scaling the 3,000-foot summit over the weekend with the help of ropes and a mechanical device called a ascender. Some hardened climbers argued that Sam didn't even scale the rock with his hands that he couldn't scale the summit, he didn't actually scale the mountain. Baker also deceived the public in the media rounds, according to critics who argued for his appointment before the ascent. Baker said the opponents were arguing semantics because he used the word 'climb' in public, and wondered how far these challenges might go.
