BIO
Nicknamed Alex “No Big Deal” Honnold for his humble attitude toward extreme risk, his free-solo ascents of America’s biggest cliffs have made him one of the most recognized climbers in the world. His free-solo of El Capitan’s “Freerider” route, has been hailed as one of the greatest sporting achievements of our time. Whether climbing with a rope or without, Alex believes climbing is a fantastic vehicle for adventure, an opportunity to seek out those highest moments with uncertain outcomes in which you’re forced to push through to survive.
