A guy tried online to say that scoring 50 points in an NBA playoff game is more impressive than Alex's feat. Might be the dumbest thing I've ever heard. What an idiot.
That's defenitely arguable, especially when you factor in the life and death outcome. If you go to Olympics and win 8or 10 gold medals, had you didnt quite win you go home with Silvers. If Alex doesn't win he doesnt go home
This guy is the biggest SCAM artist ever. He never free solo'd El Cap. It's a bullshit documentary to make money. Ever wonder why he declined news cameras and never climbed anything free solo since then??... because he's a faker
He literally achieved something that nobody can, and nobody will try. Perhaps one of the greatest human physical feats ever, and he lives in a van lol.
I can’t tell if Alex is getting better at dealing w, and steering media surrounding climbing questions or RE is just that much of a badass that he just gets it. Good Interview
He's not scared of heights- like at all, They scanned his brain and he doesnt have that fear so if you dont have this fear then what he does comes easily. Don't get me wrong he's amzing and what he does is hard but not really thst brave.
@@mikekoz68 that’s not the case, it’s not that he doesn’t have fear, the film explains that after years of practice his amygdala has been desensitized to fears like heights, and requires a higher level of stimulation than the average person to be activated. He has a fear of falling just like anyone, but the film shows he approaches the climb in a precise, practiced, intentional way with lots of visualization and reputation.
@@The08linkin Not one person in a million could physically do it either. He not only did the first free solo, he also set the speed record for that route.
Jordan, Phelps, Bolt yes...Brady is not a freakish athlete, he is a very average athlete, but his preparation and dedication and work ethic is what makes him elite. Im sure Alex has those qualities too
Actually, none of them come even close. The closest will be in the MMA world but even then, yeah, not really. What he is doing is far and beyond the mere athletics of its technicality. The closest will be historical fighters who fought their entire lives without ever losing. To a degree you could argue comandos should be compared but there's no real comparison. Not a good one anyway. The simple truth is, there is one Alex - the rest of us are all pathetic losers.
This is the world's greatest athlete with no equal, or peer. The strength, the endurance, and psychological focus required to climb El Capitan is not equaled in any sport. Unless you can grasp the free solo climb of El Capitan we cannot have an intelligent conversation.
Alex (Greatest rock climber in the world X 1000): No, actually you want smaller hands. Interviewer who can hardly climb out of bed: Well I would have thought that is not the case
What disturbs me a bit, is that Alex isn't really honest about himself and explain it more that he doesn't feel fear the same way like average person. His behaviour doesn't change if he goes high elevation like most people would be terryfying and have symptoms of fear and lead to a disaster. In his mind he is still in low non lethal altitude. Surely he knows what happens if he fails but explaining this would be very useful.
It would be nice if the interviewer could do some basic homework and research his invitees... Every single questions asked had already been asked to Alex previously. Do your job man...please. That was aweful.
0/10 subject research 0/10 wit / charm / humor 0/10 improvisational skills Good thing you had Alex - an introvert - to carry the entire weight of this social exchange. 😒
