Of all this,I find the fact we have ropes this long the most amazing.

It's absolutely insane how high and just immense El cap is. Crazy that Alex free soloed that. So scary man. Even decending with gear would be terrifying.

Absolutely amazing how Alex honnold was that high without anything but his finger tips. Absolutely insane π³π³π³π³

Never had nerves climbing, but backing over the edge to rap down always got me. Trusting gear is different than trusting your hands and feet.

I'm more impressed you have a single 2650'+ rope than I am by the rappelling.
Also, if you aren't touching the rock face and you're descending through free space, isn't it abseiling instead of rappelling?

I'm a former climber, and that exposure (to say nothing of the number and difficulty of the pitches) would have wigged me right out. Way, way, way beyond anything I could have managed. I'm also shocked to see a static rope of that length!

Seeing the full size and flatness of this wall makes me appreciate Mr. Honnold's free solo

When you realize that Alex Honnold free solo'd El Cap in less than 4 hours and see this video......that sure puts things into a COMPLETELY different perspective.
Theres no way it wasnt the greatest feat of athletisicm in the history of mankind. The combination of endurance, mental strength, pure strength, technique and preparation is just on a completely different level. If you ever have trouble do your everyday tasks, look at this and think of what Alex did. That will get you going! π

the legend says he is still rappelling down to this day

I'd want to go down too if I saw all those pieces of untouched broccoli.

I can't believe that el captain has been free soloed

I watch videos like this to terrify myself. Every time I hear the rope start to speed up my palms begin to sweat. Braver than me for sure! well done

Imagine they were at the top and like
"John did you bring the rope?"
John: what rope?

I remember hearing about Honnold's free solo climb shortly after he did it and I still can't get over how insane it is, he has pretty much become synonymous with El Cap in a lot of ways.

didn't know you can buy rope this long

Very cool! That's one hell of a rope! Back in the late 70's, myself and friends did vertical caving using this same line with lengths up to 600'. We used shorter 5-6 bar racks and went back up using gibbs ascenders in a chest/knee/ankle arrangement. Even using static 1/2" line there was bounce when climbing or braking. Good times.

I'm not a big fan of heights passed 100', but I love watching stuff like this. I really like watching Alex Honnold climb!
