This quote from Reel Rock Tour's Facebook page: Wow! Just finished covering one of Alex Honnold's most epic adventures for REEL ROCK 7 - The Solo Triple Crown in about 18 hours. Watkins, El Cap, and Half Dome, 90% free solo with a little bit of aid. Yesterday he started up Watkins at 4PM and topped out in 2:20, a speed record in itself. Next was The Nose, in 6 hours, in the dark. He forgot his chalk bag and had to borrow one from aid climbers half way up. Topped out Half Dome at 10:45 this morning. Here he is looking worked on the summit an hour ago. "OK," he finally admitted, "that was a big deal."
This guy's an animal! I hope he has a long life. The odds aren't particularly promising.
I feel the same about him. He's such an incredible climber, but doing what he's doing is going to get him killed.
ReplyDeleteI really hope you're wrong! I'm worried you may be right.
