Alex Honnold – Surely Knows His Fate
I saw a photo essay about this bold young climber in National Geographic. He climbs extremely difficult slopes without ropes:
Over the last three years, Honnold has proven to be one of the boldest rock climbers that has ever ascended stone. Like an invisible ninja Honnold burst on to the free-solo scene (climbing without ropes) with no prior notoriety and has systematically peeled back the eyelids of the climbing community.
I’m sure many in the climbing community are thinking the same as myself – it will surely end in tragedy. Either he will quit while he is ahead, or he’ll have an off-day or circumstances will conspire against him. Hopefully he retires ASAP.
