“Difference Between Being Stressed and Falling For Your Death”: While Observing Fellow Climber, Rock Climbing Legend Alex Honnold Identifies ‘Important’ Element in the Sport

The American rock climber Alex Honnold is best known for his free big wall climbing. Honnold became a world champion after climbing the notorious El Capitan in Yosemite National Park without any protective equipment or ropes in 2017. He was also featured in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics for sport climbing.  

Honnold’s dedication pushed him to take a step further in his ambition of climbing, and his fearlessness never ceases to bring out the joy of climbing heights. A few days ago, Alex Honnold also had an interview with the Olympics podcast about his documentary of free soloing the El Capitan. Recently, he was seen free climbing with Norwegian rock climber Magnus Midtbo. The video was shown with a podcast of Alex Honnold and American actor Ryan Patrick Devlin.

In the rock climbing video, Magnus said that he was a little hesitant about going on climbing, but eventually, he made it to the incredible climbing experience. Subsequently, Alex had a podcast with Ryan Devlin where he candidly opened up about the insane experience with Magnus. Alex commends how Magnus did not use any sugar card to customize the actual footage of climbing and shows himself using a rope. 

After figuring that the rock had almost no chalks, Magnus started to stress a bit. “Even though Magnus looked stressed, there’s a huge difference between being stressed and going to fall to your death,” stated Alex explaining that Magnus has a great comfort zone that does not indicate falling off from the rocks.

Alex also revealed that he chose the route, thinking it would be like gym climbing, but it turned out with no chalks on the root to give a grip. By and by, they both had a good time climbing the rock where Alex was seen supporting Magnus after climbing over a couple of hundred feet. 

Alex magnifies Magnus for not picking holes in anything.

Within the period of 12-14 days when Magnus was in the US, he utilized his time shooting videos of insane adventures every day. Alex kept praising Magnus for his prowess in coming to the US and doing various physical tasks every day, including showing on for rock climbing with Alex. Honnold quoted General Patton in WW II “Fatigue makes cowards of us all,” demonstrating Magnus’s determination.
