[VIDEO] A Brief Theory of How Alex Honnold Climbed El Capitan Without Ropes

A brief theory of how Alex Honnold free soloed El Capitan, from the perspective of a climber who has free soloed on big walls well within their comfort zone, on secure styles of climbing. Plus soloed on much smaller cliffs closer to their physical limit, on insecure styles of climbing (the Gritstone).

From Pete – It must be noted that this is only an opinion/theory from applying my own experiences to things I’ve seen and heard on film, I haven’t directly spoken to Alex about this topic, and don’t have the true answer.
