Alex Honnold: The free solo legend on fame, fear and climbing after becoming a dad | The InnerView

Описание: World-renowned rock climber Alex Honnold has pushed our understanding of human limits by conquering some of the world’s most challenging peaks, often without ropes or safety equipment.

Best known for his legendary free solo of Yosemite’s 3,000-foot El Capitan, as seen in the Oscar-winning documentary Free Solo, Alex joins Imran Garda from his van while preparing for a climb with his wife and two young daughters.

On this episode of The InnerView, they discuss his new Nat Geo documentary The Devil's Climb, managing fame, and how becoming a father has reshaped his approach to climbing.
