    My everything shoe is the Scarpa instinct VS, its not the absolute best at any one thing but does everything quite well, it is also durable mine are on their 3rd year climbing 2-3x/week with a 3 resoles. Also not the cheapest either. Biggest thing though is get shoes that fit YOU!

    ❤️🌟 In recent years,disasters have occurred frequently and anomalies have appeared one after another,You must confess your sins and repent,I hope that those who have not yet trusted in Jesus and God can trust in Jesus and God as soon as possible,Confess your sins and repent as soon as possible.2000 years ago, light came to the world,Jesus Christ came to the world.The Word became flesh and appeared before people’s eyes.He was crucified for the sins of people.He was resurrected on the third day, and then He ascended to heaven and sat at the right hand of God. If you sincerely trust Jesus Christ and accept Him as the Savior of your life, you will receive the Holy Spirit.Then, you must obey the Holy Spirit, rely on the guidance of the Holy Spirit to act and behave, and be a person who pleases God.

    But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. —Galatians 5 : 22 – 23
    Don’t delay, you should immediately trust Jesus Christ and God!

    Alex says climbing is ‘low impact on your body’……… I agree. Until you fall. I’d venture to guess that that final impact is pretty high. 🙂

    For anyone looking to get in to Rock climbing, Alex Honnolds comment on shoes wasn’t very helpful. While his statement was true, I still recommend you start with entry level (or at least flat) shoes. The aggressively arched and hooked shoes that he showed are very difficult to get used to, and you want to have developed a lot of strength in the right areas before you start using something like that. Otherwise, it can cause injury, especially on your big toe joints.

  60. Cristian D

    April 2, 2022 at 6:11 pm

    For the guy asking being 30 years old, no matter how many questions you ask to Honnold or experts, your outlook is dumb and theres no quick fix for that

    April 3, 2022 at 8:54 pm

    I really enjoy these videos and I’ve watched several and other items with him. His knowledge base is amazing. With the climbing ruining mountains I think over Everest. The trash left behind and how dirty people say it is. I’m not a climber in anyway. Just came to mind.

    • Samuel Prescott

      April 4, 2022 at 1:25 pm

      Alpinism and rock climbing are two different kinds of climbing. The climbing that rock climbers do is generally on rock only, not ice and snow.

  69. AmaraJordan

    April 3, 2022 at 9:38 pm

    I’d have liked a little more info about the different rocks. Some textures must be harder on the fingers, at least, and the likelihood of a hold snapping may be different with different rock types. Or maybe not, but we don’t know, because he sort of glossed over it. Otherwise, really loved this follow up!

    • Will Binette

      April 4, 2022 at 7:27 am

      It’s really region dependent. Limestone in El Potrero Chico in Mexico tends to have extremely sharp thin holds and just generally jagged while still being super insecure on your feet. You just constantly feel like you’re going to slip off. It’s also rather brittle so you can definitely pull holds off. Granite on the other hand tends to be really smooth or rather rough which provides great smearing capabilities. It also tends to have massive splitter cracks that are fun to crack climb. Super durable. Sandstone is the in between. It’s soft like limestone but splits like granite often giving amazing stellar crack climbs.

      Examples:
      Limestone
      -El Potrero Chico, Mexico
      -Ceuse, France
      -Oliana, Spain
      Granite
      -Yosemite, California
      -Squamish, Canada
      Sandstone
      -Zion National Park, Utah
      -Indian Creek, Utah

      Hope that helps a little bit! 🙂

    I am truly amazed by how this guy can climb and the nerves of steel he has, but in general I have no idea why someone would want to put themselves in that sort of danger. Climbing thousands of feet without a rope is absolutely insane.

  77. Sean G

    April 4, 2022 at 9:39 pm

    I can’t believe nobody asked Alex about the rumor he invented a move called the Bat Wang which is where he pleasures himself while doing a bat hang.

    Started indoor climbing about 3 weeks ago. The foot/toe thing makes sense but I’m just not used to putting in it in practice.

    • Jonas

      April 7, 2022 at 6:34 pm

      It feels a bit sketchy at the beginning, but the freedom it gives you to move around and reposition is a game changer. Just not in rental shoes, those are terrible. If you have a good pair of shoes, trust them, you’ll be amazed at what holds they’ll hold on to just on the big toe.

    Wondering if Alex will ever try to do another free solo at the level (or higher) of El Cap. Would love to see him do this. But he’s married with a kid now so I’m guessing he’s gonna take down the risk factor…

    How does Alex make money? You’ll never see him without a North Face logo on. They even made his tux when he went to the Oscars.

    My friends were recently talking about sports and someone asked the question what was the greatest ever sporting achievement, there were many suggestions, my reply was Alex Honnold’s free soloing of El Capitan. They laughed at me UNTIL they watched the documentary! I won the beers…

    In my town the bouldering gym is actually the cheapest option to climb by a huge mark and theres also an outdoor bouldering wall at a uni that is maintained by the students and completely free, whenever I look at the cost of ropes and quickdraws tho I’m like yeaaaa I’ll just keep bouldering at least I avoid tendinitis that way

    9:00 There is no perfect season for climbing. It all depends on location, orientation, specific route, specific climber. Autumn can be a balance among all combinations, but not the best.

    So Interesting to hear that about the toe position – makes so much sense how I was really good at climbing when my ex took me to this outdoor climbing wall thing. Lol. I was a dancer growing up – so everything we do is on our toes, and I’m flexible, so when they put me on the wall – I was straight up that thing in less than 60 seconds. Lol. Every level/route they put me on – I was straight up to the top easy. They kept saying I had to have been climbing before but I hadn’t. They just kept putting me on harder and harder ones and I did them all in Less than 2 minutes…. Until they put me on some where I just physically couldn’t reach the holds anymore (I’m 5’3”)…. But hearing how he explains some of that stuff it makes complete sense a dancer would be really good at it. Lol
