tributes to Alex Honnold
Dad -
Alex Honnold is one of my idols and as far as my hobbies and passions go, last week he accomplished one of the greatest feats I think I will observe in my lifetime. I wanted you to read this article because I think it does a good job of articulating the accomplishment to a "non-climber", and it's just really great writing you will enjoy. Plus, I like to share things I am interested in with you and I've been feeling recently like I haven't done it enough lately.

According to the old adage “a picture is worth a thousand words,” the phrase refers to insights and detail communicated with images where otherwise lengthy prose would be required. Fear of falling is about as primal a fear as we humans have, and that fear is present to some degree whether you are 10 feet off the ground or 3,000. In this sense, Honnold’s specialty — free-soloing — is a distillation of the entire climbing world’s collective fantasy life.
