Every single move on that climb was memorized and perfectly placed. He was 100% in the zone. He spent months memorizing and visualizing every single move. Dude is a genius.
All in all, Alex climbed it 40-50 times with ropes, seriously considering/preparing for 2 years prior to his climb. He wanted to do it for 10 years prior
@@NullfireEQG No, he just first thought about it 8 years ago. He only truly prepared for it for 2 years. But there have been a lot of free solo where he did it without much training. In interviews, he mentionned quite a few free solo where he did it without having rehearsed the route before. He even mentionned some ascents where at the top, he found out that he couldn't easily get down (usually people rappel down), so he had to devise a completely new downclimbing route he had not planned beforehand.
@Alexander Supertramp part of it them not wanting to show anything has to do with just how much of a pain in the ass it is to even fight for fair use if someone flags the podcast as infringing. Sure, they may be able to appeal, but RUclips's strict policy can make the risk not worth it.
That but they also have something different in their DNA. They would do it without the internet or for the gram. Think of all those people before television or cameras that were into extreme shit
It's pretty common with people that can't process emotion (like psychopaths) to need some kind of stimulation like this, cause it's the only thing that they 'feel'. The one thing you notice about people like this is they always have this bored feeling. They need extreme stimulation
Fuckin annoying...... everything he says has to be a dam joke. Trying so hard to be funny. This guy has to be the most annoying guy on JRE. I’d rather listen to schaub and eddie and that’s saying alot for those guys.🤦🏽♂️ Geeeeez......
the thing is.... even the difficulty alone of the routes honnold is soloing thousands of feet up the wall is so high, that an advanced climber would struggle to finish it on a regular sports climbing wall thats only 25ft high. its just insane what he is doing! i believe the route he takes in free solo is something between 7B and 7C - im climbing for quite some time now and the best i could ever do was 7a+ and i did this with a rope of course, on a 40ft wall with alot of practice and some resting on the wall - and still afterwards i was completely exhausted and my arms were pumped af and i couldnt even think of doing this a second time in a row.
Joe "the mathematician" Rogan : "If everyone has to work 24 hours-a-day, what do you get, like an hour's sleep a day?" That's some Brendan Schaub logic right there.
Honnold had two rest areas in flat spots during his El Capitan climb where they stashed food and water somewhere around the 1000ft and 2000ft mark. Not taking anything away from the accomplishment, it only makes the strategy of climbing that mountain greater.
As seen in Free Solo, Alex Honnold keeps a climbing journal where he records the intricate moves for certain climbs, especially on El Cap - there are glimpses of it in the movie. He literally maps where to put each digit, how to pivot your body, how to shift your weight. Many climbers do this. Here's Alex describing/working on The Boulder Problem on El Cap [ruclips.net/video/nfLSdhj6aCY/видео.html] He's also free solo'd Half Dome but there was no movie about it. Contrast that with how Alex has is also known for on-sight free soloing - in other words, free soloing a climb without prior knowledge of the route. Dude's a legend.
Love it how Josh is just a guy (like me) who has these 20 year old shirts with a shit ton of holes in them and still wears them because they're cool and still fit fine.
I'm not nearly at the level of that climber, but I love climbing because it just feels right to me. And I keep climbing and challenging myself to overcome walls and boulders because it brings me joy. I imagine for someone like him it's not about the spectators, it's totally about him and just doing it because he wants to.
Alex climbed the path he was going on take everyday for 2 years. He left food and water at point where he knew it was safe to rest. That’s how Kew what rocks would not come loose and how he was able to eat and drink and have small rests.
The thing is, most of the routes he’s free soloed aren’t even particularly difficult if you were actually belayed. The difference is that you *aren’t* and you know that, and what that difference means. I’ll bet you he easily did 1000+ Routes up El Cap before he even thought about attempting it solo for the first time. Because he was, at that point, absolutely, 100% sure he could do it without breaking a sweat. Still, there’s always gotta be that nagging feeling in the back of your head telling you your fingers are too damp, you’re a little too tired, etc. I feel like the mental obstacle would be the biggest. Dude is world class, without a doubt.
I have many times considered walking from where I live (Norway), through Europe, Africa and Asia all the way to the tip of Malaysia and vlogging the entire route. I am in very good shape and have done very long walks before lasting multiple days. If this is possible is it something you would watch and is it even to possible to pass through borders such as Libya, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan on foot?
@@mikkahashim31 Hehe, would probably be very nice indeed. The hard part is probably just getting out there and 100% decide to do it. If I can find a way to ensure that the border crossings will work just fine I might very well actually do it.
@@Mr.Josh. The Go Pro way is a possibility but then any chance of bringing in profits during the actual trip (which will last at for at least a year) is gone. I don't think it will be particularily expensive, but because it's such a long journey it obviously adds up.
Joe you need to get Alastair Humphreys on the show, he was National Geographic's Adventurer of the year in 2012 and when he came to Texas for the first time i met him out on a creek and we talked for hours!
For all y’all talking abt how he said 24 hours one our of sleep. He is talking abt if the group rows 24 hours then there is only an hour of sleep per individual while the others work.
The climbing route shown with Alex is called, Heaven. Starting from the ground it can be climbed in under 5 minutes, but if you fall without a rope, you are going over the edge....
im one of the people their talking about lmao . that state of mind is called "the zone" or "the flow" where you cant think of anything but what you are doing at that moment in time . like time stands still and its just you and task at hand . you escape mentally
If you drop the drive for money. You gain the drive for life. Once you gain a good some of money. You think youve found reason to live. When you have no money. You reason with jumping out of a plane.

He didn't memorise the whole route, only the hardest parts
I seriously thought he just winged the climb, and that his only experience was every other climb that hes done lol
I wish they'd show the images whenever they're talking about them.

How many holes can one guy have in his shirt, before he says it's too much for a joe rogan podcast?
chris duncan 😂😂

5:20 joe always asks his guests to feel his sweaty palms when he talks about this stuff lol
The people who do that kind of mountain climbing with no harness is one of the most amazing things to me
The ones that fall I wonder what their thinking as they plummeted. Like, "Oh fuuuuuuuuck!"
Betty White LMAO
@BEtty White I would pray and clean myself from my sins so I can go right back up. Respect to the squirrel suitors and free rock climbers.
Me: "Wow, those rowers are crazy!"
Also me: "How do they poop?"
I’m guessing they hang the cheeks over the side 🤣
Over the boat or in a bag
Honnold doesn’t climb for anyone’s amusement.
That's why he's so amazing.
Hes an inspiration. Also I know Joe wont discuss that hes vegan.
P Master found the vegan. Alex is vegetarian btw not vegan
Cool
@P Master ..... AH has shared that he’l eat meat when that’s all there is. Maud Island is an example
I plan on crawling the length of the Sierra desert, no sleep, no water and no food...
I was planning on microwaving food but fuck that lol too much work u win lol
I plan on reading comments and laughing
I procrastinate alot, i plan on not doing that
Ive never heard Josh speak only sing. He almost has his own unique accent
Get a few tweakers together im sure they could row 24 hours straight
Aidan Selvidge yeah downfall they will steal and kill whenever they run out. But aye to each it’s own

Look up kyuss instead, his band before queens, much better too.
I’d argue the action creates the mindset
Of course Joe summarizes the insane feat by focusing on asthetics "bet you'll get ripped"
Alex climbed the path he was going on take everyday for 2 years. He left food and water at point where he knew it was safe to rest. That’s how Kew what rocks would not come loose and how he was able to eat and drink and have small rests.
