Alex Honnold is considered one of the most fearless (and consistently solid)
climbers on the planet.—in a "60 Minutes" segment (air date
10/2/11), he free-soloed the face of Sentinel in Yosemite while the
cameras rolled—but when asked why, or to explain this
difficult-to-understand activity he loves, he's a bit mystified. Sure,
he likes the adrenaline, but that admission comes only after some
prodding. The sense is that behind his big, deep brown eyes and humble
personality ("Most people know me for my free soloing," he says, "but I
actually solo pretty infrequently. I spend most of my time traveling
around and climbing things with a rope on. I didn't start really
climbing outdoors till six years ago.") is a fire he'd rather enjoy than
analyze.
