I need to share a video [0] which helped contextualize Alex Honnold for me by contrasting him with another climber I've watched for years: Magnus Midtbo. In this video they're solo climbing a fairly simple and safe mountain, and Magnus is visibly stressed out while Alex calmly shouts encouragement all while recording. When watching Alex Honnold in Free Solo, I understood there was a exceptional aspect to him, but it took me seeing him climb with other people to really grasp the magnitude. [0] ▶ this video
>34. Free Solo Also worth mentioning The Dawn Wall (2017) Meru (2015) The Alpinist (2021) The mindset of the people at these extremes is really interesting. Clash of cultures with Magnus Midtbø visiting Honnold was also an interesting watch: ▶ this video
Try this climbing video: ▶ this video One legendary climber pressures an experienced climber in to a high danger situation. It’ll make you about as uncomfortable as a SFW video can.
Wow. That's amazingly mesmerizing and cathartic for free soloing. Thanks for posting. It's a stark contrast to the Magnus Midtbø and Alex Honnold free solo video [1] released today. The Magnus video made my palms literally drip with nervous perspiration. [1] ▶ this video
