Dave And Alex Honnold Go Climbing | Letterman 

That was out of left field, so quick! Hilarious as usual

That is too funny

Pure artistry.

Nah he's hot

Those entry level routes are basically like climbing a ladder.

LOL, at least 3 people I regularly climb with are easily fitter and are in their seventies.

Don't forget Dave's been through heart bypass surgery.

@@williampolfus6975 I mean, ok, but one of the guys I climb with is on the list for a heart transplant. And no, I am not kidding.

@@JeanneNorthcutt That was funny to you?

He's also incredibly humble, and one of the nicest people I've ever met; and his mom is pretty damn awesome as well.

Those dudes in the 80s-90s were insane. Alex shook my hand once, nearly crushed it

Then you'll notice the music they used while David is climbing is from the end of Free Solo when Alex is topping out El Cap.

He is absolutely an anomaly tbh. When it comes to free soloing 'professionally' no one comes close, I dont think most of the routes he did a decade ago have still been solo repeated yet. Usually gym climbers and free solo climbers are completely different groups with very different ethos, so even if gym climbers are technically way stronger, we dont see them soloing, but somehow this guy did 10 years of gym climbing and started soloing big walls because he didnt want to ask someone to belay him lmao. Still cant get over the fact that he solo'd 2000 feet and then did a v7 on el capitan

I am sheepishly raising my hand.

the climbing guy… too good!

Him and Alex Honnold were having some great bits. Hilarious

the "climbing guy" is the Michael Jordan of climbing

Not Miss David...Mister David😂

The guy's a monster at 70+.

You think so? I would've guessed less than 5.6... Most people can't climb 5.6 on their first day, let alone 77-year-olds.

@@dsspiegel hard to tell as we only see a few holds on the route. Mostly solid jugs for hands, foot holds seem smaller than most beginner climbs, and it looks like there is some minor movement required and not just a straight ladder climb. It could definitely be an easier grade. Point of it is I'm still super impressed with Dave for making it to the top on his first climb at his age. He's awesome!

Bet me to it! 👍
