Our next guest is a free soloing
phenomenon, please welcome Alex Honnold. |
00:01:23.507 - 00:01:27.912 |
Here is what I
don't understand. |
00:01:31.781 - 00:01:34.716 |
One little mistake, one little
slip, and you fall and die. |
00:01:34.718 - 00:01:38.923 |
Yeah, I mean, uh, you
seem to understand it well... |
00:01:40.090 - 00:01:43.725 |
- Yeah.
- Yeah. |
00:01:43.727 - 00:01:46.364 |
And I feel like anybody could
conceivably die on any given day. |
00:01:47.197 - 00:01:50.901 |
Soloing makes it feel far more
immediate and much more present. |
00:01:51.903 - 00:01:56.507 |
Does it feel different
to be up there without a rope? |
00:01:58.841 - 00:02:02.614 |
When you're climbing without
a rope, it's obviously like |
00:02:03.281 - 00:02:05.713 |
much higher consequence, much,
much higher level of focus. |
00:02:05.715 - 00:02:08.417 |
You know, it's a whole
different experience. |
00:02:08.419 - 00:02:11.656 |
So it's not like I'm just
pushing and pushing and pushing |
00:02:12.823 - 00:02:15.656 |
until something
terrible happens. |
00:02:15.658 - 00:02:17.559 |
I don't look at it, like,
with that perspective. |
00:02:17.561 - 00:02:20.465 |
But maybe that's why
it's dangerous for me. |
00:02:21.431 - 00:02:24.632 |
Maybe I'm too close to it and I can't
tell that I'm speeding towards a cliff. |
00:02:24.634 - 00:02:28.772 |
Okay. |
00:02:45.521 - 00:02:47.724 |
I like to differentiate
between risk and consequence. |
00:02:58.701 - 00:03:01.102 |
You know, when I'm doing these hard free
solos I like to think that the risk, |
00:03:01.104 - 00:03:04.138 |
you know, the chance
of me falling off is |
00:03:04.140 - 00:03:05.906 |
