The Incredible Hulk: Emily Harrington & Alex Honnold Free Climb "Solar Flare" | The North Face 

I was more like a spider man.

I free soloed my bunk beds after an accident with ropes. my mom had to cut me down. Turns out you dont just tie them around your waist. You can hyrt yourself like that.

I tried free soloing onto the table to get a hot dog and fell and got 10 stitches in my brow

😁🤣🤣

I free solved grandmas tree when I was 5 years old. It is about 60 feet tall. I wasn't to swing sticks around I might poke out an eye. Nobody ever told me I could break my fool neck falling out of the tree.

@Lino Andrade "pitch" here actually has nothing to do with angles. A long climb is broken up into multiple sections called "pitches", which are usually about the length of the rope. Each person has their turn climbing the pitch while their partner sits still and belays. Then reset and do the next pitch. Alex, notorious for his love of fast and risky climbing, suggests "simul-climbing" or simultaneous climbing with a "running belay". In "simul-climbing", the belayer is also climbing while the lead climbing is climbing the next pitch. The team can move much faster up the route, but there are many more moments in which a fall could lead to serious disaster.

@@nickmartin123456 thank you for this info I have been climbing for a few months and still learning the terminology. Always great to know there are others out there willing to teach and help others grow. Much respect and positive vibes toward you

HappinessFactory Totally agree. Which is why I'm applying to their marketing squad!

I'm switching my major to computer science and hope to join any available positions they have for software engineering or IT. I WILL DO ANYTHING TO JOIN THIS COMPANY.

Agree, i just bump into their youtube channel and i was like wtf? So little suscribers oO

As long as Alex remembers to not tie his shoes while he’s belaying her, they’ll continue to make a great team after Emily recovers.

@@YogSoth what happened? Did she get injured?

Well alex is married now haha

Lame. This comment is on so many climbing videos.

I know I heard that too .... How can you not be a team ... on North Face ...

He certainly has a very dry and sarcastic sense of humor. Though, I almost felt like he was serious there lol.

@@fredsmith2299 I thought he was meaning like you cant be a team climbing, you kinda gotta do that yourself.

@@Imaweatherman A team or individual .... What guy takes is gal on a trek like that hanging on cliffs by finger tips and taking chances ... unless he didn't care .... it's so weird .... and what personality ....

Check out Alex Honnold Climbs Angola and the other capitan doc called The Dawn Wall, you’ll love both

you're

Yes, and she said Alex wanted to Simul Climb it. To me that's partly the reason Free Solo is such a wonderful film - that they let it be up to Alex what he did. I hope she makes her own choices as well.

Peter Croft is amazing. (Be careful shaking his hand.) He did the Palisade traverse from car to Temple Craig, Gayley, Sill, Polemonium, N. Palisade, Starlight, Thunderbolt, Winchell, Agassiz, and back to the car in 24 hours. I consider that to be one of the greatest mountaineering feats in US history. For the article: www.alpinist.com/doc/web14f/wfeature-palisades-mountain-profile-peter-croft. Other good articles about the Palisades: www.alpinist.com/doc/ALP48/44-mountain-profile-palisades-robinson.

It’s called product placement! And it’s required of North Face sponsored athletes! Not a bad trade off I’d say! 😁

Only if you hadn't heard of him until Free Solo was released. Free soloing is about 0.001% of his climbing (and that's from Alex's mouth)

Free solo is an execution... a 100% no error performance. You don’t solo unless you know 100% you won’t fall, rope climb allows you to adventure new routes. Which is obviously going to make up most of his climbing

Damn near everything he climbs he uses gear and ropes

When he was putting on that helmet, he looked as uncomfortable as somebody getting naked in the middle of work meeting.

@Patricia A. Badea yeah of course, free soloing without prior practice is suicide as well it was more a play on how good he is rather than expecting him to climb everything without safety, that would be simply crazy

lol

Lunatic... dial it down a notch.

Careful crossing the road!

Dude, sometimes just getting through the day is a challenge! I commend you on your Subway Expedition!

Just eating Subway is crazy as hell

45 isnt old

mate im 20 and could not physically wake up at 5 in the morning, let alone the rest of it!

im 39 and did a 17 mile hike involving 3 mountain summits, and 3mile of running with a 24lb pack, last year... age isnt an excuse *shrug*

1234 there’s a very low risk of dying here. If you know what you are doing rock climbing is relatively safe. Not SAFE, it’s still an extreme sport, but relatively so.

I'm 60 and this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Rtulnwuew2c.html is what I did two days ago. Wasn't difficult, but I did have to break trail in fresh powder for several miles. Last October, my son and I ice climbed V-Notch and Polemonium Peak in the Palisades in a day from Sam Mack Meadow. One of my day hikes last summer was 25.5 miles and 8'300' vertical. Getting old isn't the problem, getting lazy is. On the way back from The Incredible Hulk, they could hit two natural hot springs if they wanted to.

Once you climb a lot you build up calluses on your hands which helps with the pain :)

hand crack climbing is hard but finger crack climbing blows my mind. It has got to be the hardest type of climbing. How can a person carry their entire weight on the fingertips ?!!!

Liam Gallagher practice! And being able to ignore pain for a while

finger cracks are definitely not the hardest type of climbing, go watch alex megos or daniel woods do a v16. Or ondra sending la dura dura. Cracks just require a special skill set and technique, and they're very painful ;)

River Woodruff they're hard but none of those guys would attempt or have the endurance to free solo the climbs he has done regardless of holds.
