Did the women's final Boulders break Alex Honnold? || Salt Lake City 2024 

“It’s kind of high“ (6ft off the ground) - Alex Honnold😂

9:40 Alex Honnold 4ft off the ground: this is scary. You're just kinda high Alex Honnold 7000ft off the ground: meh

hearing alex call competition climbing dangerous (although it is) when he free climbs El Cap its hilarious haha! love him in the commentator's box!

Alex is a fantastic commentator. He's funny and brilliant, he's also extremely competent and he has such a deep and soothing voice. Too bad is also a super pro and he has a busy schedule...

As a lead climber who is terrified of bouldering falls, hearing Alex Honnold say that the boulder move looks dangerous was extremely validating!

Matt's commentary during Alex's climb was so funny xD

Matt I really hope you and Alex can commentate together at the Olympics. That would be legendary! Y'all have good chemistry and humor! Do you think that's in the cards? Also it might be more appropriate to call Alex the most prolific climber in the world. I suspect that title would sit better with him but I could be wrong.

I laughed when Alex turned around and Matt immediately went into commentary mode.

"Yeah... that's my shin" 😂

Finally a climber who says he doesn't like people watching him climb. Thanks Alex, you made my day. Same for me! Greetings from Germany :)

Thanks for all the coverage! Tons of hard work. Alex is hilarious 😂

*Loved* hearing Alex in the commentary booth! 🙌🏻

Alex pointing out the "total waste of time" for Orianne to go trad climbing 🤣 man's honesty cuts on a different level haha

9:30 NASTY omg his poor shin 😂😂

That announcer's voice is so great. And combined with Alex's commentary, quite good show

Watching the girls climb is always such a treat as their boulders are often super techy and really force them to rack their brains and stretch their capabilities. Really shows off their incredible capabilities as climbers. :D

"It's kind of high" -Guy who free solos 3000 ft big wall

When the free solo guy says “this looks dangerous”, you know you have issues

9:42 Alex trolled everybody with that comment

The womens finals last night was great. Super close until the end. Huge win for grossman on a tweaked knee, though I was scared for her trying to get the zone on the slab problem, having to land on the hurt leg

We want more Alex on comp boulders ! Love those behind the scene ! And btw Matt, it's Na-ee-ley May-nee-yan (like croissant...)

Alex Honnold : Free solos El Cap also Alex Honnold : says that a move on a boulder problem about 2 metres off the ground looks dangerous 😅

This behind the scenes insight is insanely cool

Alex was amazing on commentary, you two made a great duo!

I thought this wall was very dangerous. A controlled slip on to a small foot hold. Is the goal to eventually have them climb with helmets on?

When can we see Janja doing men’s boulders?

The fourth boulder climbed much better once that volume was removed.

Great commentary and camera work the whole WC. Really liking Alex and Alanna on the mic and having the split screens is also great for not missing any action. Personally I'd prefer if highlights and behind the scenes were separate videos and then each a bit longer to get more insights.

I’d love to see women climbers doing men’s boulders as well. 🙏🏻 and vice versa

Definitely need to see more Alex (or Matt!) trying these boulders!!

Please make the stream watchable from germany next time 🥺

Alex did great in the commentary box! The comment about athlete's pay was on point. Plus he was very funny.

love these kind of vids

I wanted Alex Honnold to try also other boulders

Alex literally turned El Cap into a boulder problem and he’s all like, “This is scary.” 😂💪🏾🙏🏾

Alex saying "this looks dangerous" got to be one of the most ironic things I've ever heard.

IFSC can clone an Alex with that hair and skin now.

That final slab boulder the pros climbed looks absolutely terrifying

Grande Vale!!!! 🇦🇷

Enjoyed his humor & "all-around" climber's commentary - LOLs & insights. Would cheer on more from - maybe a trio in the comp announcing booth, Matt & AH and a non=finalist guy for the M's and gal for the W's." Added production costa prolly prohibitive tho ...

Technical appeal re the mic...denied!

So Alex was the reason w4 became even more insane 😂 to be at the level of climbing that a couple of minutes on the wall forced an olympic level team of setters to tweak the route...wow

dynos scare me more than static climbing. atleast you have control on static climbing

@3:24 Nice Yü-Gung Tattoo 🙂

« It seems dangerous » 😂😂

A "mike" dab?? He needed to get closer to the wall 😂😂. Yeah, the mike gives him a bit more grip?? 😂😂

W4 was really scary, even after upgrade.

"so this is not what I normally do during the worldcup" :D

8:22 this looks f*ckin dangerous :D

"This looks fucking dangerous" - Alex Honnold

Alex Honnold: *falls off slab and scrapes shin on volume* Me: "OMG he's human!"

Please take him to lead climb ❤

Stuff like this is exactly why I'm wary of slabs. Hearing Alex Honnold calling them dangerous is kinda validating 😅

Careful Alex, some of these climbs go up to 15ft high and with no rope!

Honnold is the absolute best.

He didnt ask what chalk she was using. :(

This is F'ing dangerous - Alex Honnold.

Hey, you killed Alex!!! 😬

Just noticed Alex has a hole in his shorts in perhaps the most awkward place possible

Matt showing off his guns during the bag check...

Alex shin'd himself for nothing. They strapped the volume!

I know these problems are highly technical and need to be super challenging for the best handful of climbers in the world, but man I hate this jump-and-hope approach to some of them, and the dual texture stuff is properly sketchy. As Alex shows, your foot can just slip and it isn't really because you're bad.

Not particular in this problem, but: I've seen the transparent hold a few times now in mens competitions, but never at the girls comps? I really do not like the transparent hold, but it seems unfair to only use it for men

Completely strange to see Matt. I've always assumed he was just some ethereal voice, only manifesting in this world to commentate world cups

When you work 40hrs a week Stretching is what you do between sets

Alex with humanity: 6 feet is scary ; otherwise: free solo El Cap

The aspect of climbing Alex Honnold has THE LEAST amount of experience with? - Falling.

😂😂

I wonder why none of girls try to do it statically.

HELL YEAH

I reckon that volume with real hair and skin of Alex honnold could fetch a fair price at an auction... my mind wanders to weird places sometimes.

is no one else noticing the unfortunately placed hole in his pants

Why did Alex need to try the women's problem instead of the men's?

Without Janja it’s best of the rest. We’ll see in Paris

honestly i don't think female athletes are tall enough to break the beta like alex did.

I wish I could get my hands on that shin skin and hair. I would put it in a locket and make a necklace and never take it off. I'm your biggest fan Alex. 😜

Dual texture is utter crap...

I love hearing Matt call these competitions. I love his old videos as well. He seemed to be a nice guy, but I was taken back yesterday with his comments about Kyra‘s USA tape. She had her shoulder taped with tape that said USA on it and he made some strange comments. I listen to it three or four times to make sure that I wasn’t imagining things but yeah, his comments were a little bit weird. No one should feel shame for wearing their countries and name on them when they are representing their country in a huge sporting event.if I’m wrong, please tell me, but it just sounded weird to me.

It's funny I don't really watch women's bouldering competitions but when a man (Alex) is climbing their competition routes i'm somehow watching it 🤣 sad but true

Skin and hair scraping off on volumes as you try to hop around.. This is why I don’t like comp style setting at gyms. We, the general population of rock climber who climb rock don’t need it! I love watching climbing comps and their insane moves. But I’m not training for that, so please don’t set that in gyms I pay to go train in.
