Alex Honnold's feats are truly remarkable and almost beyold comprehension for the 'man on the street' (with or without Mr Long's 'expert' commentary).

I just hope he has a quick stella solo career where he sets benchmarks for others to aspire too (he probably has already), then quietly rope up and fade into oblivion.

I don't want to read about his premature demise, I fear it is almost inevitable if he continues down his current path........

I would say Alex Honnold's feats are considered even more remarkable and beyond comprehension by the climbing community. Experienced climbers have a much better idea of the difficulty of what he is climbing in comparison to the 'man on the street'.

I wonder if Alex scored a big box of Viagra to go along with his big parcel of North Face equipment?

I took that as read, Simey. Chockstone being a climbers forum and all that.

You got a viagra ad? I must have got the post viagra ad - some credit program the woman used to fund baby shopping. Maybe they have a sensor for the sex of the viewer????

Sorry, thought you meant that non-climbers would be more wowed by Alex's feats than climbers. I do think that 60 Minutes did a very good job overall, but it would have been even better if there was some random footage of someone dressed in a rabbit suit.

A great documentary on Australian Climbing featuring HB, Louise Shepard
and a classic cast of australian climbers. Defo work a check out, especially if you know or have met the personalities. A little window into the goldern era of Australian Climbing. I just wish it went longer and there were more routes...

I enjoyed it anyways....

Click the share button, then embed. You need to use the old embed code option.

BD athletes Adam Pustelnik and Nico Favresse make first repeat of Orbayu (8b+/8c) in Naranjo de Bulnes, Spain from Black Diamond Equipment on Vimeo.

Would you trust the nut placement at 10:20? (also is that the first piece of kit that is noticeably not BD?)

That nut is terrifying. A tricam would have done much better in a little pod like that I would have thought.

Every time I see or hear a climber referred to as an 'athlete', it makes me want to vomit. Climbing is not athletics, is probably not even a sport. Grrr

Everytime I see rock in rocklands it reminds me of the gramps:

Only Prime Conditions from Odense Boulderklub on Vimeo.

Candidate for biggest tick mark ever at 13:00?

This I would consider an athletic acheivement!

But I agree, rock climbing - not so much.

A different kind of climbing, athletic no doubt!

Now, I'll give you this guy is fit, and that running all those stairs is outrageously hard work, but claiming it's the most intense sport in the world? Perhaps he should watch that Ueli vid above. He's basically running on a technical mixed route, at 4000 odd metres, over a km of actual climbing and no nice floor landings to collapse on the way up. Or the Huber bros speed ascents of the Nose.
