    Great job guys, Pat the way your able to relate to Alex allowing him to open up was brilliant. Pumped after this interview.

    Pat is an amazing interviewer. This is one of the most engaged conversations I've ever seen on any platform. I hope you win some sort of award or recognition for your work Pat, but if not...consider me wildly impressed and a huge fan.

    This dude has quickly become one of my favorite athletes of all time. Even after the movie and all the interviews you always just get Alex he’s never trying to put on an act.

      Honnold was an engineering major for a year before his dad died. It derailed him for a bit and he quit to climb and get his head space together. Never went back because it turned out he was awesome at something else. He has periodically mentioned the possibility of finishing a civil engineering degree.
