Alone on the Wall: Alex Honnold and the Ultimate Limits of Adventure

Product Information

There was something very Zen monk-ish about his description toward the end of every move, the hand-holds, each step, the tension in however many digits of his fingers -- like the way a monk spends an afternoon walking across the stones of a garden, focused on every single movement as though life and death hung in the balance. FREE SOLO is less about climbing than it is about living. An extraordinary gift to everyone who believes that the limit of human achievement is far from being reached."

Alone On the Wall — Alex Honnold

According to Honnold, one of the reasons of Alex’s climbing free solo was his shyness. “As a teenager, my parents, who also drove me to climbing, were mostly the ones belaying me.” When he was out and about alone, he didn’t have the confidence to ask famous free solo climbers if they would climb with him.I was always expecting to go through the full range of adulthood at some point,” Honnold says. “I always wanted to have a family eventually. I always wanted a stable relationship. It’s all according to plan.” In 2012, Honnold began giving away one-third of his income to solar projects that increased energy access worldwide. Soon, this idea expanded to form the Honnold Foundation. The Honnold Foundation's mission is "promoting solar energy for a more equitable world".
