Alex Honnold Climbs Angola
Рет қаралды 5,072,201
8 жыл бұрынAlex Honnold is the most accomplished free climber in the world. Angola is a southwest African country that recently emerged from 27 years of bloody civil war. What brings together these strange bedfellows you ask? Some of the most epic unclimbed rocks in the world, and a community needing help to diffuse the hidden land mines leftover from the conflict. (Plus a shadowy local hotel magnate, but we'll get into that later). This is Alex Honnold in Angola, for one of the most unique adventures of his storied climbing career this far.

I'm a big fan too, but to be fair, Alex is as likely as any climber to make the sport more lucrative for both himself and others. I am certain money hasn't, and never will become a primary motivation for him, but I also think the sport isn't exactly a gold mine that would make a great climber shift focus toward "chasing millions"; where are these millions? Even pretending for a second, that he did decide to focus on making as much money as possible, most likely, what he's doing would be the best way to continue to attract the kind of attention that can be parlayed into endorsement deals, movie deals and cash and he is doing that, which is great, because it allows him to climb constantly.

This is a real story told very sensitive. Alex is a quite special and an inspiring person - the foundation work is so adorable and his respectful attitude is an example for us all traveling over the globe with climbing as our guiding compass. Thank you for sharing so generously!

That's what's so refreshing about him. Most people, when they're that good at something, they waste no opportunity to show it off. And in today's society, where we all get pushed into promoting our own 'brand', most people feel pressured to always present the most polished, most successful version of themselves. Alex genuinely doesn't seem to care. As long as he gets to climb, he's a happy dude. And I think that in a world full of insta-famous rolemodels we could use some more people like him, who know what's really important and don't try to change themselves to fit some kind of mold.

This dude is a once-in-EVER type of person. Not athlete...PERSON. To think in the way he does and to remain calm under EXTREME duress is an ability possessed by few people. And to couple that with an unbelievable level of skill at something so difficult is not something we are likely to see again any time soon.

Yeah, really! I did one rock climb and going up was hard enough, but you had your eyes at the top of your body to see where you were going up. But when you're going down, how can you see where to put your feet? I wound up "skiing" down a gravel canyon to get down.

I am really glad to see this incredibly skilled young man doing service for others in need. In the end he will rewarded much more for this than his climbing achievements. Personal achievement is often a selfish ambition which is fine and propels people to the top of their field but doesn't make one truly happy. selfless service for others does.
