60 minutes has run a fantastically shot piece on rock climbing free-soloist, Alex Honnold. Free-soloing is climbing without ropes, using only the hands and feet. I haven't yet met him, and I hope he lives long enough so that I have the pleasure. But seeing this video and reading about his exploits, I wonder if I will really have the chance. In the picture above, he is standing on the "Thank God Ledge" 2000 feet up the first free-solo of the Regular Northwest Face of Half Dome.
Slow down Alex! You seem very cool and life has so much to offer.
