EWolfe Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 Frickin' Badass! James on Supertopo reports: "Yeah, I'm in Zion right now. Honnold soloed the route in an hour and twenty minutes on April 1, Tuesday. He walked up to it barefoot and then came down without shoes too." Quote

bwrts Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 Now this is amazing. I would like to see mr Hannold come to Index and put his skills to the test on the vertical granite of Washington. Quote
denalidave Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 Barefoot none the less... shoes are aid.. Very impressive, if true. Quote
bigwallben Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 Now this is amazing. I would like to see mr Hannold come to Index and put his skills to the test on the vertical granite of Washington. He has climbed at Index. Quote
bwrts Posted April 6, 2008 Posted April 6, 2008 oh yeah, solo? what are his exploits at the mothaship? Quote
bigwallben Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 oh yeah, solo? what are his exploits at the mothaship? I've never seen the mothaship at windex, but, skills were mentioned, not style; perhaps it was implied... He didn't solo anything while visiting Index. Quote
bwrts Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 yeah I guess I was vague and really was implying solo. the mothaship was my bad attempt at a new term for grouping index crags- just ignore it. thanks for the info. Quote
EWolfe Posted April 7, 2008 Author Posted April 7, 2008 He did NOT solo it barefoot. He aproached and descended barefoot. Didin't want to carry shoes. Makes sense. Quote
kevbone Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 He did NOT solo it barefoot. He aproached and descended barefoot. Didin't want to carry shoes. Makes sense. That makes no sense......who hiked his shoes up and down? The camera crew? That is aid! Quote

Cairns Posted April 7, 2008 Posted April 7, 2008 april fools joke probability currently estimated around 75% Oh it is an April Fools joke either way, but seems more likely that it is a joke on April Fools jokes. Quote
