Alex Honnold is the most accomplished free climber in the world. Angola is a southwest African country that recently emerged from 27 years of bloody civil war. What brings together these strange bedfellows you ask? Some of the most epic unclimbed rocks in the world, and a community needing help to diffuse the hidden land mines leftover from the conflict. (Plus a shadowy local hotel magnate, but we'll get into that later). This is Alex Honnold in Angola, for one of the most unique adventures of his storied climbing career this far.

@Gregorypeckory 5 лет назад

I'm a big fan too, but to be fair, Alex is as likely as any climber to make the sport more lucrative for both himself and others. I am certain money hasn't, and never will become a primary motivation for him, but I also think the sport isn't exactly a gold mine that would make a great climber shift focus toward "chasing millions"; where are these millions? Even pretending for a second, that he did decide to focus on making as much money as possible, most likely, what he's doing would be the best way to continue to attract the kind of attention that can be parlayed into endorsement deals, movie deals and cash and he is doing that, which is great, because it allows him to climb constantly.

That's what's so refreshing about him. Most people, when they're that good at something, they waste no opportunity to show it off. And in today's society, where we all get pushed into promoting our own 'brand', most people feel pressured to always present the most polished, most successful version of themselves. Alex genuinely doesn't seem to care. As long as he gets to climb, he's a happy dude. And I think that in a world full of insta-famous rolemodels we could use some more people like him, who know what's really important and don't try to change themselves to fit some kind of mold.

@John Dunbar if you drop letters, it isn't an anagram.

I am really glad to see this incredibly skilled young man doing service for others in need. In the end he will rewarded much more for this than his climbing achievements. Personal achievement is often a selfish ambition which is fine and propels people to the top of their field but doesn't make one truly happy. selfless service for others does.

1:41 _Alex_ "I'm gonna be like those Russian dudes. I'm gonna like press out a hand stand on the edge here. Take a bunch of selfies and then like be a you know viral internet sensation. That'd be rad." There are levels in all walks of life. The dudes taking selfies is on one level. Alex Honnold......a whooooooooole different universe of levels.

@dustinbalthis8773 4 года назад

@mariebaby4723 4 года назад

Dustin Balthis actually I don’t think so. I’m an African who grew up in Canada. It was humbling going back to my homeland and seeing people really appreciate things that we take for granted in developed countries. Seeing that you can be so happy with so little (even though if they could have more they would)

@cjacobsen99 5 лет назад

It’s so easy to think of these people as “those people in Africa”. That’s why videos and experiences like this are so important, because every smile and laugh remind us that these are real people, and they deserve our respect and our love.

The solar projects are awesome. I find solar power to be magical, amazing, common sense etc. My family used it for hot water for the last 35 years and we saved a lot of money and never ran out of hot water. You feel like it should become law for all new homes.

@psychman3028 6 лет назад

Yeah, really! I did one rock climb and going up was hard enough, but you had your eyes at the top of your body to see where you were going up. But when you're going down, how can you see where to put your feet? I wound up "skiing" down a gravel canyon to get down.
