Of course, It would be way more fun to climb (and talk) with Alex Honnold (on) some sick big wall, but for now, we have to be satisfied with this awesome talk we had!
Alex is an unbelievably relaxed guy and this also applies to his cool climbing style. It was quite surprising to find out that, for Alex, free soloing El Cap was a bigger chill than climbing on our Czech sandstone.
We covered so many great topics. Alex shared inspiring experiences and thoughts and besides the funny story of how we have met, we talked about our climbing efforts, tried to figure out if climbing harder routes makes us noticeably stronger, chatted about sport climbing, speed climbing, how do we cope with so much attention and if there are any responsibilities connected to being a public figure. And much more. Enjoy!
Together with Alex, we partner up with Black Diamond and we support the production of quality climbing, skiing and other outdoor equipment.

@michaeltheclimber9228 3 года назад

Adam seems starstruck by Honnold, which is truly high praise. Alex is clearly impressed by Adam, and is fascinated by his very different relationship to climbing. While Adam is driven in the way many legendary athletes have been, Alex's motivations are more subtle and hidden...its perhaps the reason people are fascinated by Alex. Both are legends and have made great contributions to climbing.

@dmr11235 2 года назад

It may actually be the case that Alex holds Adam in higher esteem than vice versa. Alex has been quoted as saying “Adam Ondra is the best climber in the world by far. Like, he’s a LOT better than everyone else.” I think it’s in this video, in which Adam flashes a 9a+: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b6OvrRbGU68.html

@lluhu 2 года назад

Adam’s strength is his body. Alex’s strength is his mind. When Adam climbs he asks to his body “Can you do it?”. When Alex climbs he asks to his mind “Can you do it?” Based on this, they developed very different climbing philosophies.

@peanutsraisins Год назад

Great observation! Spot on👌

@Eflodur Год назад

Well when it comes to free soloing it is more a mind challenge but climbing silent the hardest rout on the world which nobody thought it would be possible it is a mind thing to think that way as it is to dream about soloing el cap.

@User36282 Год назад

I would say BOTH are more mind over strength. Adam climbs the HARDEST routes in the world which requires an incredibly resilient and determined mindset. Anyone can be as strong and as technically brilliant as Adam, but wouldn't be able to achieve what he has. He trains for months and months on a route, moving and living at the location, creating replica walls to train on every day and completely dedicates his mind and body to conquering that goal. His will to succeed and to to push himself every day harder and harder is crazy.

@gopr3117 Год назад

@farishakim6759 Год назад

@@User36282 well, we can't really say both have the same strength. I mean, yes Adam climbed the hardest route in the world which is waay exceptional, but if in some ways he accidentally slip, his mind knows there's something to back him up. But when you have to free solo for almost 3000 ft with nothing to save you + people recording your story live to turn it into movie, thats total diff level in mind game. Even if you got tired, you can't downclimb it.

I love how climbing is so different for each of these athletes and they each have so much to say. I’d love more of these videos, and I’d love to see them climbing together. It would be interesting to see how their styles mesh: Zen and Laser Focus.

Alex is a legend. Rarest of the rare species. What he has achieved free soloing El Cap has brought forward a new dimension of human mentality.

He isnt doing anything. Everyone has a choice to free solo or to climb regularly. If they take the risk of free soloing that is their responsibility, not Honnolds.

@AJo-wd2ni 2 года назад

I feel like alex is similar to a distance runner, where he prioritizes endurance and he enjoys being outdoors and the sport itself, & Adam is more like a sprinter. He prioritizes strength and power and constantly pushing the PR and seeing self-improvement. (But he can also climb the Dawn Wall??) Having been to a climbing gym only a handful of times, & having arms of jelly after sending a v1 route, I cant comprehend either of them, lmao.

@Andrew-vw5vb Год назад

A good thing to do before is read about Alex's ascents with a rope. He's done insane things and multiple first ascents. It gives you a very good idea that he's probably even more humble about his climbing than most think that he is. Any pro calls him one of the best big wall climbers in the world for reasons besides soloing.

@amp4105 Год назад

i swear people act like hes not good for some reason, a very strange divide between loving him and somewhat hating him. In my opinion, freesoloing el cap is way more impressive than 9c

@morningstarx5340 3 года назад

The dichotomy of their climbing styles is interesting. They both do the same thing but their approaches are so different its like 2 aliens from different universes talking to each other. Alex climbs relaxed and loves it because he loves it, Adam climbs more aggressively and just seems to want to push his technical limits. Its like the difference between a guy that takes 2 week adventures on his harley compared to the guy that always podiums in moto gp. I actually think I appreciate Alex's philosophy a bit more these days, being a person that raced motocross and hare scrambles but now literally takes 2 week adventures on my motorcycle.

@AveSicarius 2 года назад

Well, look at what paparazzi do, the media platforms surrounding sports, even fringe sports, isn't any better for the most part, they simply have a different focus than the private lives of celebrities, and fumbles therein. Climbers generally get a choice in the footage taken of them, because they aren't unilaterally famous enough to be totally observed wherever they go. But that doesn't mean ambitious photographers won't invade their privacy if they get a chance
