Alex Honnold | Fatherhood, Legacy, & Giving Back

Alex Honnold is among the most accomplished climbers in history. Bursting into the mainstream consciousness in 2008, Alex has personally changed what people have viewed to be possible in the vertical world. In 2017, Alex did the first ever free solo of El Capitan in Yosemite Valley, a feat that many consider to be the greatest athletic accomplishment in history, and that was documented in the Oscar winning film, Free Solo. We're honored to host him on the podcast.
