Alex Honnold at Brooklyn Boulders

My rock gym recently hosted an all day workshop featuring Alex Honnold.  Alex was the subject of this year's Oscar award winning documentary Free Solo

I've seen Alex speak twice and each time I leave with such a sense of inspiration.  He has such a genuine way of speaking.  I happen to think the free soloing that Alex does is absolutely crazy but when you hear him speak you realize that he wouldn't attempt a free solo climb without feeling 100% confident in his ability to accomplish it.  His perspective on fear and challenge is really inspiring.  We even had the chance to do a meet and a greet after his keynote presentation. 


Fan girl moment- Alex Honnold wished me luck on my Yosemite hiking projects this summer!
