      Honnold was an engineering major for a year before his dad died. It derailed him for a bit and he quit to climb and get his head space together. Never went back because it turned out he was awesome at something else. He has periodically mentioned the possibility of finishing a civil engineering degree.

    Great job guys, Pat the way your able to relate to Alex allowing him to open up was brilliant. Pumped after this interview.

    I have always loved the way honnold talks about his success. He just says it in the middle of his sentences in the same way he says everything else. He knows it's a fact that he's the only guy that has climbed a wall and he gets that information out, then just moves on to the rest of it with no acting humble or cocky. He just wants the information out

    Any interview close to 30 minutes is always golden. Gives enough time to actually learn about the guest
