At 00:01:23,507, Character said: Our next guest is a free soloing
phenomenon, please welcome Alex Honnold.

3
At 00:01:31,781, Character said: Here is what I
don't understand.

4
At 00:01:34,718, Character said: One little mistake, one little
slip, and you fall and die.

5
At 00:01:40,090, Character said: Yeah, I mean, uh, you
seem to understand it well...

6
At 00:01:43,727, Character said: - Yeah.
- Yeah.

7
At 00:01:47,197, Character said: And I feel like anybody could
conceivably die on any given day.

8
At 00:01:51,903, Character said: Soloing makes it feel far more
immediate and much more present.

9
At 00:01:58,841, Character said: Does it feel different
to be up there without a rope?

10
At 00:02:03,281, Character said: When you're climbing without
a rope, it's obviously like

11
At 00:02:05,715, Character said: much higher consequence, much,
much higher level of focus.

12
At 00:02:08,419, Character said: You know, it's a whole
different experience.

13
At 00:02:12,823, Character said: So it's not like I'm just
pushing and pushing and pushing

14
At 00:02:15,658, Character said: until something
terrible happens.

15
At 00:02:17,561, Character said: I don't look at it, like,
with that perspective.

16
At 00:02:21,431, Character said: But maybe that's why
it's dangerous for me.

17
At 00:02:24,634, Character said: Maybe I'm too close to it and I can't
tell that I'm speeding towards a cliff.

18
At 00:02:45,521, Character said: Okay.

19
At 00:02:58,701, Character said: I like to differentiate
between risk and consequence.

20
At 00:03:01,104, Character said: You know, when I'm doing these hard free
solos I like to think that the risk,

21
At 00:03:04,140, Character said: you know, the chance
of me falling off is

22
At 00:03:05,908, Character said: quite low even though the
consequence is extremely high.

23
At 00:03:08,145, Character said: And that's kind of like one of the
appeals of free soloing, you know,

24
At 00:03:10,681, Character said: to take something that seems difficult
and dangerous and make it feel safe.

25
At 00:03:14,585, Character said: So, do you think that, uh, being a rock
climber has been a positive or negative

26
At 00:03:18,655, Character said: for your dating life?

27
At 00:03:20,456, Character said: My dating life?

28
At 00:03:21,824, Character said: Yeah.

29
At 00:03:22,960, Character said: I think, uh, I think
overall it's been a negative.

30
At 00:03:25,829, Character said: Um, I just travel too
much and I live in a car.

31
At 00:03:35,438, Character said: Let's talk through some of
the climbing adventures you've had.

32
At 00:03:38,908, Character said: The historic free solo
climb, Moonlight Buttress.

33
At 00:03:41,645, Character said: When I did it, it was like,
"Oh," you know, kind of groundbreaking,

34
At 00:03:44,747, Character said: kind of extreme.

35
At 00:03:46,783, Character said: But for me it always felt
quite easy and pretty secure.

36
At 00:03:50,320, Character said: Well, that wasn't where you
stopped, because that next challenge then

37
At 00:03:53,623, Character said: was free soloing Half Dome.

38
At 00:03:56,593, Character said: Half Dome was a huge step for me
because it was twice as big as anything

39
At 00:04:00,197, Character said: I'd ever soloed.

40
At 00:04:03,332, Character said: Free soloing is so
dangerous that less than 1% of people

41
At 00:04:06,870, Character said: who climb attempt it.

42
At 00:04:09,439, Character said: Alex has done more than 1,000 free solo
climbs, but none were tougher than this one.

43
At 00:04:16,547, Character said: I g***t quite scared in some places,
and then you start to panic a little bit.

44
At 00:04:20,084, Character said: And then you have to,
like, reel it all back in.

45
At 00:04:25,456, Character said: What is next in
free solo climbing?

46
At 00:04:28,759, Character said: Well, I don't know, I mean,
I've thought about El Cap, like,

47
At 00:04:30,994, Character said: for years and every
year I look at it and I'm like,

48
At 00:04:32,995, Character said: "That's really scary."

49
At 00:04:34,598, Character said: Um, well, I've never even wanted to
really, or I've always wanted to but then

50
At 00:04:37,800, Character said: I've always been like,
"That's too scary."

51
At 00:04:44,240, Character said: I'm aiming towards the most
beautiful valley on earth.

52
At 00:04:48,913, Character said: I remember coming to Yosemite as a little
kid and my dad would always have a little

53
At 00:04:52,615, Character said: cooler in the back of the car, and
have our cookies in the cold milk,

54
At 00:04:55,485, Character said: and we'd sit on these slabs above
Tunnel View, which is, like,

55
At 00:04:58,822, Character said: the most epic
view of Yosemite.

56
At 00:05:01,891, Character said: As soon as you see El Cap it's like,
"Oh, there it is, pretty exciting."

57
At 00:05:08,932, Character said: El Cap is the most
impressive wall on earth.

58
At 00:05:55,812, Character said: Yeah, I mean I love,
I love being in the van.

59
At 00:05:58,548, Character said: I probably feel extra comfortable
in the van now because I've lived

60
At 00:06:01,017, Character said: in it for nine years.

61
At 00:06:03,586, Character said: My first van, well, I actually
stole the family minivan.

62
At 00:06:06,923, Character said: My dad died when I was
19 and I, I quit school.

63
At 00:06:10,226, Character said: There was some life insurance.

64
At 00:06:12,728, Character said: I had just enough to dirt bag.

65
At 00:06:15,665, Character said: Six years ago I was living in a Walmart
parking lot and spending eighty-eight cents

66
At 00:06:19,336, Character said: on dinner every night.

67
At 00:06:22,473, Character said: Living in a van is great but, you know,
at a certain point it'd be nice to have a

68
At 00:06:25,608, Character said: bathroom and have,
like, a shower at least.

69
At 00:06:35,952, Character said: So you have a
girlfriend now, I heard.

70
At 00:06:37,687, Character said: - Hmm, trending towards one.
- Trending towards?

71
At 00:06:39,956, Character said: Hmm, I mean, she's very supportive
about, like, you know, you have to do you.

72
At 00:06:45,295, Character said: Yeah we'll, we'll see.

73
At 00:06:46,730, Character said: But yeah, there probably will be
plenty of girlfriends in my life,

74
At 00:06:50,334, Character said: you know, in terms of,
like, big climbing,

75
At 00:06:52,869, Character said: lifetime achievement deals,
where you're just like, well,

76
At 00:06:56,305, Character said: like I will always choose
climbing, over, over a lady.

77
At 00:07:00,110, Character said: At least, you know, so far.

78
At 00:07:04,982, Character said: How many times have
you climbed El Cap?

79
At 00:07:07,317, Character said: Probably like 40
something maybe.

80
At 00:07:08,819, Character said: - You ever free solo? -No and nobody has.
- Why haven't you done it yet?

81
At 00:07:13,956, Character said: Um, look at it, like, I mean, you know,
think about it, it's freaking scary.

82
At 00:07:18,228, Character said: I don't know, so I mean I've thought about
this since 2009, like, each year since 2009,

83
At 00:07:22,331, Character said: I've been like, "This is the year,"
and each year I climb it and I'm like,

84
At 00:07:24,901, Character said: "This isn't the year, like,
this is f***d," you know.

85
At 00:07:27,670, Character said: So I'm like, "Uh." But the
thing is I'll never be content,

86
At 00:07:30,173, Character said: unless I at least
put in the effort.

87
At 00:07:31,740, Character said: Because, like, if I do all the work and
I'm still like, "This is messed up,"

88
At 00:07:34,377, Character said: then maybe it's just not for me,
maybe its future generation, you know.

89
At 00:07:37,980, Character said: Or maybe just somebody who
has nothing to live for.

90
At 00:07:51,327, Character said: When I thought about El Cap years ago, there
were question marks all over the walls.

91
At 00:07:55,932, Character said: It's like I don't know about this
pitch, I don't know about that pitch,

92
At 00:07:58,267, Character said: like I don't know about this particular
slab, there are all these things that

93
At 00:08:00,903, Character said: seem pretty crazy to me.

94
At 00:08:04,107, Character said: If the ultimate dream is to solo El Cap,
then I need a good map of what that will

95
At 00:08:10,047, Character said: take, you know, like a, a mental image of
what the hard parts are, where they are,

96
At 00:08:15,151, Character said: what they will entail.

97
At 00:08:18,555, Character said: If I'm going to do it, Free
Rider seems like the best route.

98
At 00:08:27,129, Character said: Oh, hi.

99
At 00:08:28,365, Character said: What's up, dude?

100
At 00:08:30,233, Character said: Oh, hey.

101
At 00:08:32,201, Character said: Oh, actually, I might as well just
rack it straight onto my harness.

102
At 00:08:35,706, Character said: So, do you wanna lead
the Freeblast or do I?

103
At 00:08:37,341, Character said: I feel like we should do what we did
before which would be you lead the, yeah,

104
At 00:08:41,477, Character said: you lead the Freeblast.

105
At 00:08:43,779, Character said: So, basically I'll just try
to take it, like, as far as I can.

106
At 00:08:45,881, Character said: Yeah.

107
At 00:08:52,456, Character said: So Tommy just g***t here
and they're going up Freerider.

108
At 00:08:55,258, Character said: Okay.

109
At 00:08:56,659, Character said: I'm just gonna try to shoot this
pitch and the traverse pitch and then

110
At 00:08:59,895, Character said: I'm gonna jug out
like a maniac.

111
At 00:09:02,365, Character said: Okay.

112
At 00:09:03,365, Character said: Do we...
