      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!!!!

            Link to video

            National Geographic also had a good article about his climbing of 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!

                I've seen it, it's entertaining. I google Alex Honnold occasionally, to see what fantastic things he's done lately and if he's died yet.

                  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!!!

                                          Reminds me of this one time I told some guy I owed money to, that I’d give him his 40 dollars there on that ledge, just meet me there tomorrow. Then the next day I totally didn’t go. I just stayed home lol. He must have felt so stupid when he got up there and I wasn’t even there lol. I mean I went up the night before and left the 40 dollars there but lol I didn’t even hand it to him lol.

                                          Education is extremely important.
