Alex is a freak athlete and did 1 of the greatest feats in humankind history, maybe the single greatest most impressive feat ever recorded by 1 man. Certified badass and legend.
@@NathanJones-sf5js there are climbs much harder than what he has done...and the risk is the same. His climb is only graded at 7c+, and people have soloed much higher grades. He has soloed much harder climbs himself(8b+). But yeah Alex is a legend!
That’s so funny tons of tourists were up there, but they simply could not conceive that he could’ve possibly climbed the entire wall by himself without any gear so nobody walked up to him to congratulate him. Lmao.
Jocko reads like how i'd tell my teacher "if you don't let me leave class before i can finish this sentence you'll be telling stories about me sh**** all over the hallway walls in the nursing home and how you were responsible so they made you clean it."
It’s funny how people outside of the climbing community think living in a van for 10 years is being homeless when in reality this dude had more than enough to live in a house and tons of climbers literally choose that lifestyle.
Rest assured, Jocko has never faced 'imminent death'😂 If he wasn't killing women, children, and brown people in illegal foreign wars, he would've just been a lying, cheating, abusive cop preying on semi intoxicated housewives.
From a climbers perspective: If you are new to the sport, Honnold flowing over stone slick from thousands of years of glacial polish looks beautiful. From an experienced climbers perspective, it is horrifying. I've soloed plenty and probably more than my partners agreed with at the time. Honnolds climbs were century's ahead.
Exactly. Even though I knew he was successful, watching Free Solo I was scared for him. My hands were sweaty the whole time and I was on edge. We have all just popped off on easy climbs, so we know the fine line he was toeing
I got in trouble bc someone else put a piece of Bologna in the CD port of the computer(when disks in computer was new,right after floppys went away) I actually didnt do it but it was something i would do
Yo I don't think this is the official Jocko Podcast Clips channel one bit, not cool to just repost others content without referencing the actual original post/clip channel to begin with. Not cool one bit.
I don't know, even with war criminals there can be stolen valour. Sure seals a war criminals, that is why the ones who went in to kill that old dude in his slippers and his wife, were under contract with the CIA, because they were acting outside the military context. Though, given that the US doesn't even sign most of those treaties, nobody really cares.
Imagine the look on Alex’s eyes after he made it to the top and that family saw him. They probably thought they were looking at a real life demon after Alex pulled himself out of the depths of hell to make it up there.
