Someone posted this picture on FB, and I thought it was photoshopped:
"Would you stand on the 'Thank God Ledge' in Yosemite National Park?"
Though the pic might be photoshopped, the "Thank God Ledge" is a real thing:

That’s Alex honnold. Not photoshopped. He’s done crazier stuff than that.
Did you see the movie "Free Solo"? My palms were sweating watching it!!!!

@George-K I have such a physical reaction watching those videos. My palms sweat, my calves tinge, and my heart rate increases. The sound of the "wind" in the video doesn't help.
@taiwan_girl That documentary is on my list to watch!

YOu should. I am not sure if it was in the movie or the article, but one of the training exercises he does it to hang from the molding that goes on the outside of a door frame for 90 minutes at a time to strengthen his fingers. After reading that, I tried it and could not last even 9.0 seconds!!!

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

@jon-nyc Pretty sure that is the guy from "Free Solo"
@taiwan_girl yes.
