Crillz Posted June 23, 2010 Posted June 23, 2010 Superhuman. I'd be wrecked from just the approaches and walk-off from 1/2 dome. Quote
genepires Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 I soloed half dome once in 15 minutes. Would have been faster but there was too many tourists on the cables. That boy is friggin good. crazy good. Quote
John Frieh Posted June 24, 2010 Author Posted June 24, 2010 I'm going to have start using that "I totally 3rd classed it" :laf: Quote
billcoe Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 Amazing is an understatement. It make me wonder what his life expectancy is. This stuff is just so far out there, just like his freesolo of 1/2 Dome, or his freesolo day of Rainbow wall, hike down then freesolo up Triasic Sands and freesolo downclimbing Dream of Wild Turkeys to get down - all in the same day, as to make you speechless.

spiderman Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 I was just wondering the same thing Billcoe? I've had perfect looking cams blow out on me while aiding. I wouldn't want to be soloing something and have to pull on one piece of gear like he was. Quote

Funny that this sounds more impressive to me because they are climbs I can actually do and appreciate the difficulty. Quote

billcoe Posted June 24, 2010 Posted June 24, 2010 You guys catch this yet? Chris Falkenstiens short video of Uli Steck and Alex Honnold's attempt at the speed record on the Nose? It's worth a click, although it's time lapsed. BTW, There is a pic and a note of the Honnold 12b free solo of the Crucifix in Yosemite. http://verticalventures.com/blog/2010/06/breaking-news-update-honnold-solos-the-crucifix-in-yosemite/ Quote
