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
