He's up three stories so far.
A fall now will kill him. The weather looks good. A large crowd watching from the streets.

It's getting hard to watch...he's already as high as most of the other buildings tops.
All he has with him is a bag of dry powder for his fingers. He's like a spider on a wall.

His hands can truly be described as 'meat hooks'
And he looks like he only went up a couple flights of stairs.

He is beautiful to watch; the concentration, the confidence, the fluidity and strength.
I don’t use the word much but the man is truly awesome. |

A recap of the 95 minute climb to less than 10 minutes.

I’ve seen video of Alex doing chin-ups. But not normal chin-ups. He raises his entire torso (not just his chin) over the bar like he is weightless.

It appears effortless. But think about it. 100+ stories each requiring him to lift himself by one leg three times, not including climbing the ‘dragons, rings and towers, in 90 minutes.

Plus, his flexibility is unreal. Nothing for him to lift his foot head high and take a step up..all while keeping his body, foot and leg along the wall.
I just found this.... No Life Insurance: Honnold confirmed he does not have a policy, stating in 2026, "I think insurance in general is kind of a scam". .
