Alex is hardly the most social person, but when he sees someone willing to try out his lifelong passion with him, you can just see him light up like a christmas tree. I imagine it's the kind of enthusiasm you go through when your girlfriend is willing to try a game or sport that you love. My guess is that he can count the number of climbers who have never soloed before and are down to get that first experience with him with one hand.

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."

Towards the end when alex started rocketing up to the second last ledge and we could hardly hear his voice due to the distance. It wasnt a fun time for magnus. Every time that go pro bumped the wall interrupting his flow i would have not felt bad if he ditched the camera down the rock face. I wanted alex to come down the wall a little to keep me calm while i watched. i felt a bit upset about that on magnus behalf. It is frustrating his best video so far for the amount of time it has been out is his pretending to be a beginner. Like the trope dresses up as old man to out play the muscle bound on the horizontal bar and park equipment. Yet this has to be his shining achievement. Thank you alex honnald for being there. I doubt it could have gone better for magnus with any one else.

As someone who trains young professionals who often have to overcome stressful situations, this video is a perfect tool for 1) showing how to overcome a stressful situation with class and balls 2) establishing perspective i.e. their situation may appear scary but they’re not scaling a steep mountain without gear. Alex is either oblivious, knows you better than you know yourself or is shady as fuck for making you do that. Having said that, as often with people like Alex who aren’t really humans but are more of an abstraction in human form, he has helped you to do something and subsequently create something that is genuinely spectacular and a masterpiece. I hope you have processed any potential trauma you may have endured as a consequence of being in survival mode to that extent and thank you for your spirit.

My point is that Magnus really surpassed himself and it was way more difficult comparing to Alex try cause he had to overcome the biggest fear a human can have.

Great video. I love Alex's video "Free Solo" and the scene when he was doing the climb and the cameraman had to look away kind of tell you how strong Alex's mind is. And you following him is amazing Magnus. Respect!

As much as we hate it, this truly demonstrates the beauty of social media. The fact that we can watch 30 minutes of the scariest moment of your life and have our palms sweating with you, while soaking in what it looks like up there with no ropes. Add in Full HD and professionals narrating it, and this makes it one of the most enjoyable videos I've seen online since the creation of UKposts. Absolutely incredible. Bravo and thanks for not dying.

@dingdingdingdiiiiing
@dingdingdingdiiiiing Рік тому
Yes. And I felt that to the bone. I remember being scared lead climbing on a route a few grades below my capability at the time, but it was sketchy and slippery. There was a ledge below, an anchor above and I had to make a long move and though I knew it was easy, I kept thinking what if I fail, will I shatter my knees on the ledge? So, a thing like this is not about climbing at all and it's beautiful.

@Ray-du6xb 12 днів тому
Alex is an excellent coach though considering lives are on the line. He offered solid advice on tackling fear, like if you're not comfortable, be patient, think it through, don't do big moves. He didn't let Magnus succumb into his own fears (very real fears by all means), but he just kept reinforcing him he's doing fine, and we'll get there, no rush. If you're stuck, take 2 moves back if you have to... I like that about this. Ofc all these things Magnus already knew, but nice to hear over again and again as he climbs and holding on. Amazing video, thank you for risking your life to film this.
