I was just thinking the same thing. He's just standing there sorta awkward in the moment like "Dude, I just climb rocks! What's the big deal?" You're a big deal, sir!
I can't stop watching Alex talking. I've been combing through all the material on UA-cam and rewatching again and again. His presence is the Stillness that humanity could embrace. I like "being around him". Chai and Jimmy as well, are a delight.
@@Jj-gi2uv The most difficult sections were shown in the film and discussed in depth (Freeblast, Monster Offwidth, The Boulder Problem, Enduro Corner, The Traverse etc). They didn't want an overly long film and they didn't want a film just for hard core rock climbers. Also, many sections of the climb are relatively easy and would have lessened the drama of the main hard sections so no need to show those parts. Plus, Alex took breaks to eat and go to the bathroom and take his shoes off etc. They did a great job making a film with jaw dropping climbing footage as well as a film non climbers can enjoy. Can't make everyone totally happy but they came close and as a result got an Oscar, 7 Emmy's, and numerous other awards! I enjoyed seeing the French trailer but there's nothing significantly new. The film is fine as is and the editor won major awards too for a great job. So overall I don't totally agree with you but as a climber myself if they had squeezed in a few more clips I wouldn't have minded. In an interview with Rich Roll Chai and Jimmy mentioned a rockfall incident in Morocco that they kind of wanted to include but couldn't find a smooth way to do it and it wasn't that important overall. Not easy making a movie!
@@davidgoldstein7149 yeah, the dawn wall and free soloing el cap aren't comparable. They both are tied along with ondra's silence for the greatest climbing achievement. There's no way to say which is #1 but I believe none of them deserve to not be in the #1 spot. Judging the movies alone, not influenced by the climbing feat, I also agree the dawn wall was a much better film. I feel free solo focused immensely too much on Alex's girl. I understand it was supposed to be a biopic from the start, but once soloing el cap became a legit option, they should've ditched most of the girlfriend drama and focused on the actual climb. The dawn wall covered Tommy's incredible background story, but at the same time it was fairly brief and straight forward. The majority of the film was pure climbing. Free solo only brushed on Alex's upbringing which I thought was awful. This man has done so much in yosemite alone previous to soloing el cap they could've filled up half of the film. His childhood was covered for 30 seconds. The rest of the film was about the girl. Overall, I left the theater in awe after seeing both films, but after seeing free solo for a 3rd time I really wish they took it in a different route. If it's the "greatest human athletic achivement in history, why is half of the film focused on his girlfriend?
Even though he seems like he would rather be elsewhere climbing than in a suit on the stage, he seems to be the one giving The most accurate and precise answers to the questions than everyone else. Funny too. The guy is super intelligent evidenced by the fact that the climbing seems like a puzzle of the mind and body skills together.
It's pretty crazy how you can clearly see Alex is not doing it for money or fame or any reason other than he just loves climbing. Not a lot of athletes have that pure love for the sport these days, and it's awesome that he hasn't really let fame effect him very much. I mean, he's obviously the best in the world, and he must know it, but I get the sense he's the kind of dude who would just be down to grab a beer with you on a Tuesday evening as if he's just a regular guy.
Well he doesn't drink so you won't be going out with him for a beer, and he's definitely the best free soloist in the world, as well as top 1% of climbers, but he himself has admitted he is not the best in the world.
I don't know what his financial goals are, in relation to climbing, but we can be sure he's making plenty of money on this film and the attendant media opportunities. When Peter Croft soloed Astroman, which relative to the progress of climbing at the time, was a HUGE milestone, only a small handful of climbers understood the significance of this accomplishment, and Peter Croft made no effort to earn a dollar for his effort. I believe Alex is capable of calculating all of the variables associated with climbing and documenting his landmark achievement, and I wish him well and hope he retires before the inevitable occurs.
There's an easy way to get the "Director's cut" version. I mean, it's easy, and impossible at the same time (impossible since you can't forget what you already know...). All you have to do is watch the movie without knowing if he succeeded, or if he fell and die, and it's a commemorative movie. Because that was what they felt back then. And it had to be absolutely horrific for them...
Happy to see the recognition and attention that Alex is getting. He is a rare individual with a great heart, a very good role model for young people. They should try to emulate his humility. He does not realize what he has accomplished because he is in it.
I got to meet him while at work in Fresno while he was practicing this route in Yosemite. I could tell he was brewing something big when I talked to him about what he was projecting up there! I didn't think it would be El Cap though. Crazy.
I soloed El cap in 2014. Alex saw me and was mad, he said he wanted to be first. He pushed me off the wall at 1700 feet. I landed below and broke 126 bones but survived. I sadly broke my back and am a vegatible for life. I have since forgave Alex for this. I am proud of your accomplishment of soloing this and wish you the best!
The Man with No Fear, the real DareDevil. I love this man I have never met, and wish the best for him and his family. He is a true inspiration. Thank you, Alex, for your no nonsense approach to life.
Bravo to all that made this film possible.... Alex thank you for pushing the envelope of life and showing us all how truly incredible the mind and body is.... You have nothing else to prove to us go enjoy the rest of your life with your gorgeous girlfriend. Become an Olympic coach and teach the future climbers that anything is possible!!!
There is so much mental and physical focus and preparation necessary to achieve all the levels from the film crew to Alex. the mindset he shared about getting to the top and not celebrating before hand is life or death reality of what he accomplished, thanks tiff and each of you👍🏾🎥🎨🌍
Watched the movie two days ago. We all enjoyed it immensely even though none of us are climbers. Very well made. Only documentary I enjoyed more was Touching the Void but not by much. Will watch it again with someone else.
God bless u, Alex, what u did is probably the greatest thing ever achieved by a human on Earth. Right behind landing on the Moon. But that's different because it's a team effort.
Alex Honnold is one of the bravest innovators in the world of climbing. He's a purist of the highest order. He does all but a couple of his climbs without any announcement, fanfare, or anyone really knowing about it. The guy is doing this for the pure love of it, and he's in the top 5 guys doing Rock Climbing in the world today. Several of the old climbers from the 60's-80's have declared him the best big wall climber alive today, and in the top 3 all time at what he does. There is one Czech Man who climbs harder stuff, but he does ropes and doesn't free solo (to my knowledge). But he does the hardest stuff ever seen in the history of climbing. The film "silence" is about the guy
@@bellicose2037 -No, we're assholes. The politeness rep is actually just a huge bluff we've been collectively running on the world for decades.- Thank you!
In the first 30 seconds I thought, flip, Jimmy would make a brilliant Indiana Jones! Being old enough to be Alex's father I can't help but feeling extremely protective of him. I think he and his girlfriend make an awesome couple and I wish for them to live a long and beautiful life together. Can't wait to watch the movie when it comes to South Africa .
My guess is she doesn't typically speak in public with a handheld microphone and at that moment the person at the sound board is probably crying a little
I saw this movie last year with some friends and I had no idea what this movie was about and we also sat in the front row ! It was so scary to watch and could not believe that Alex was climbing without any climbing rope ? Good thing that he made it or else this would not have been a happy ending and movie too ! I am glad that there will not be a second climb since most great climbers keep doing it and eventually fall 🙁. But this was a truly amazing movie that they made ! Thanks !
This Qand A is a perfect follow up having finally seen the movie just last night. I was left with the idea that Sanni caused him to fall and injure himself and jeopardize/delay the climb, but at the same time helped Alex grow as a person and gives him more of reason to not die and realize what is most important. Please, rope climb going forward. Relationships trump accomplishments in the end, but what an accomplishment and what a girlfriend!
I consider myself a tough guy lol but I said to myself the first time I watched free solo that Alex is my hero lol. So humble. Yet fearless. Kool as they come. Yep.... hero.
Alex is amazing and it's always fun to see his interviews but I love when it's a project with Jimmy! I love hearing his film making side of the stories! .....That hand/arm clap though, extremely distracting!!! Stop it!!!
I watched the documentary 3 times and she seemed so perfect for him. After watching it the first time, I wondered if they were still a couple and so happy to find out their now happily married with a newborn baby girl
You get the feeling that Alex has worn a suit a total of two other times. I wish he would use the word "thought" instead of "was like" but I'll cut Alex some slack since he completed what is probably the greatest athletic achievement in the history of mankind. Jimmy is so well spoken, but it's way beyond an olympic achievement. If you get silver in the olympics, you don't die.
Maybe the modern Olympics. People used to the die I'm the ancient Olympics all the time. They used to box with leather handwraps and they also fought MMA with kicks and chokes too..they called it pankration. One guy managed to win gold and also die in pankration. His opponent submitted but he died before the match ended.
I would just say something like "the greatest four hours of human mental and physical focus, skill, and courage, in recorded history." Once you get beyond that time frame, you're stepping into territory with some truly unbelievable accomplishments such as Shackletons rescue of the crew of the Endurance. But for four hours, it's probably unparalleled.
Ian Baxley agreed,there are few human beings that will ever have the mental capacity to visualise such feats never mind have the skill to achieve them. here is another such person,sadly no loner with us. ua-cam.com/video/4dga0baANiw/v-deo.html
@@MegzWassup1215 and it’s annoying that you have this victim mentality like nobody is taking away the work she did which was unbelievable she’s a crazy talented director and her being.l female has nothing to do with what this comment was saying😂🤦♂️
umm.. the act of free soloing is you know, solo. very few people would know who Alex is if it weren't for Elizabeth and Jimmy, the crew, the editors, the producers, on and on. Basically, everyone performed at their peak and we all are lucky enough to view the results of their collective effort.
Such a big deal and great presentation of this documentary, couldn’t they at least have chairs a table for the group to sit down. At least make the guest more comfortable. Poor Alex.
I’m thinking, if one is climbing solo and the path up is no longer possible shouldn’t we have something to make it easy to get past a few hurdles. Something like a tube of rapid drying cement that sticks to the face, a gun that shoots an arrow into the face or a parachute that is lighter and smaller than any other yet. It will make the sport easier to watch although I’m not complaining. Thanks
One of the worst documentary film making - Let me finish - They did not show much of his climb which we would have loved to see. Instead they showed his girlfriend and others. you deserve more ALEX. We need one more documentary.
Does Anyone Know Do The Filmmakers Have The Full 4 Hour Climb On Video? Why Not An Uncut Limited Edition Signed Version 199 Boxset...….I want to see the entire think from the first minute...……...……......

I have never seen a person who is so genuine and unpretentious like Alex Honnold.
He is Just a super athlete to look up to.
Wasiem Qutteneh YES!!!!!!! I agree 100%
Yeah like just seeing him will get you to respect him
Yep, it's one trait of being an atheist.
I was just thinking the same thing. He's just standing there sorta awkward in the moment like "Dude, I just climb rocks! What's the big deal?" You're a big deal, sir!
Yep he is the anti Trump for sure, such a great person.
I can't stop watching Alex talking. I've been combing through all the material on UA-cam and rewatching again and again. His presence is the Stillness that humanity could embrace. I like "being around him". Chai and Jimmy as well, are a delight.
Well said...thank you
Agree. He is also very clear on his purpose and being empathetic of those less fortunate. We need leaders with "humanity".
Really man, same here I'm doing the same!!!😂
Doing the same, strangely addictive this guy.
same here man. I watch everything on UA-cam with him in it. He is seriously the best person.
I'd pay extra to get all the unedited footage of his climb.
Yep... becose another 1 hour of film is crap)

This is a nice work of fiction.
Peter Pan it is not fiction
I can give you the footage of me coming yo mamma for 1.99
Alex Honnold is an American treasure. Thanks to Jimmy, Chai, and Tommy for making a terrific film.
This is hands down the best documentary of the year. Oscars are meaningless, if they don't get this one right.
I don’t - I actually believe dawn wall is a way better movie. And I mean movie, not climbing feat.... dawn wall is amazing

Well they won and Chai gave the most embarrassing and gross acceptance speech i ever heard
Alex is more comfortable 3,000 feet in the air without a rope than he is on the stage
Yeah but maybe he's a bit shy but it's so cute and he's so beautiful
Denson Camp jaaaaaaa
Cuando mi jeva !!vio esos dedos ;!!
He has said that is why he started free soloing. It was less scary than asking for a partner he says
He's a sportsman not a actor

Who cares about Alex's suit? This man, his partner and the team accomplished something that I think I will never witness again.
Alex is a brilliant man...so humble wit it all...
Everyone should go see this documentary! Alex is amazing and how the movie was made was a feast to behold.
Alex was going to climb el cap whether they were filming or not
Oh I see you watched the documentary.
If I could give an award for saying something that contributed nothing, I’d give it to u
Alex is utterly amazing and everything a super hero would be. Thanks to Chai and Jimmy for bringing this wonderful talent to our attention.
Such a realistic genuine honest guy how can you find more people like this. Alex is my hero straight up..
Happy to see the recognition and attention that Alex is getting. He is a rare individual with a great heart, a very good role model for young people. They should try to emulate his humility. He does not realize what he has accomplished because he is in it.
Alex deserves way more credit... Kinda feel bad for him in every interview they make him seem smaller
Ummmm That makes no sense, he has 100% of the credit, he’s the only one who did it
Alex is so cool. I love when after he's done answering a question on any interview he kind of tilts his head and says "yeah that's it"
I watch free solo every chance I get. When the filmer on the ground turns away, really puts the life of Alex's in perspective.
I got to meet him while at work in Fresno while he was practicing this route in Yosemite. I could tell he was brewing something big when I talked to him about what he was projecting up there! I didn't think it would be El Cap though. Crazy.
Annalise Rosik did ya give him a peek at least?

He switches between a shy 5 year old and an ultra professional climbing beast in split seconds, what a beautiful character
This is the coolest thing I've seen on UA-cam...totally love these guys
God bless u, Alex, what u did is probably the greatest thing ever achieved by a human on Earth. Right behind landing on the Moon. But that's different because it's a team effort.
Aswin A that’s different because that was filmed in Hollywood and fake.
I am just astonished by Alex Honnold!
Haha, Alex looks super uncomfortable in that suit.
Needs a red north face shirt, shorts and climbing shoes ;)
He's the man tho
He's like a real life Curious George!
Hahahaha the first few seconds on stage he was about to rip it off!!!! He s face was so funny!!!!
Kinda like a Prom dress you can't wait to get out of!!!

His name's Adam Ondra and he's by far the best climber for difficulty along with Migos
Two eloquent and happy couples did a fine job on stage. Keep the future happy....no free solo II👌🏼
His girlfriend is a phony social climber. Alex is a real climber.
Love the documentary, watched it today. Inspiring.
12:03 “...I didn’t want to chit chat with some random dude”. 😂 smh - I love this guy. Wish I could be like him..

They have made climbing mainstream. That could be his contribution to climbing.
Yes and also free soloing Yosemite
FU, what have you ever accomplished. Alex would be doing this if nobody was watching
Which is why he was paid zero for this and donates a third of his salary to his foundation? Research before you post dolt.
discorperted I don’t see how he is a sellout lmao. Hes not in it for money, as he donates a large portion of his income
Amazing always watching and listening to you guys cant wait to see your film I know its going to be amazing. So much respect for you all
In the first 30 seconds I thought, flip, Jimmy would make a brilliant Indiana Jones! Being old enough to be Alex's father I can't help but feeling extremely protective of him. I think he and his girlfriend make an awesome couple and I wish for them to live a long and beautiful life together. Can't wait to watch the movie when it comes to South Africa .
Alex is the man. Full stop.
Cant wait to see this! You guys rocks rocks!
These are magnificent climbers out of their comfort zone.
Hold the micro phone in your armpit and clap like a NORMAL HUMAN
My guess is she doesn't typically speak in public with a handheld microphone and at that moment the person at the sound board is probably crying a little
Hey - She's so cute - she can clap however she wants . . .
I was about to comment how annoying that was I'm glad someone felt the same way!
Who?
She was just warming up her forearm to go free solo El cap afterwards.

Doesn't begin until about 1:50 (ish)
(That's when the guests are introduced, finally.)
(You're welcome 👍😇)
I want the full unedited 4 hour footage damn!!
Alex is just day dreaming about Yosemite the whole time. Totally zoned out lol
Alex is so uncomfortable in the suit and must be thinking why am i here, would rather be in Yosemite...
This Qand A is a perfect follow up having finally seen the movie just last night. I was left with the idea that Sanni caused him to fall and injure himself and jeopardize/delay the climb, but at the same time helped Alex grow as a person and gives him more of reason to not die and realize what is most important. Please, rope climb going forward. Relationships trump accomplishments in the end, but what an accomplishment and what a girlfriend!
Director: "That was the scariest day of my life"
Alex is like "Really? I had the best day of my life."
Seeing Alex and the others look somewhat nervous on stage made me feel good. Even Spiderman has stage fright.
Would like to see about a 45-60 min cut of just the climbing. There wasn't enough in the movie for me.
I consider myself a tough guy lol but I said to myself the first time I watched free solo that Alex is my hero lol. So humble. Yet fearless. Kool as they come. Yep.... hero.
Love the crew he has.
He's a boss with so much integrity.
Cheers sir.
Alex looks like he's heading to prom.
Greatest accomplishment in history too me
Alex is amazing and it's always fun to see his interviews but I love when it's a project with Jimmy! I love hearing his film making side of the stories! .....That hand/arm clap though, extremely distracting!!! Stop it!!!
Dear Alex, we love you dude. With and obviously without the suit. Show up to the next black tie in slippers. Be you, do you, and keep on sir.
Bet his missus' made him wear the suit! I can empathize XD
Can't wait for the film to be released on a DVD. I want to own it :).
why must she clap like that?
caleb john hill wanna slap her for clapping like that.
Like a weird dolphin....
Hahah man i couldnt not feel awkward watching her clap like that
she's clapping? oh, I was like "man the mosquitos in Toronto must be really bad!"
Trying to bring a vein to the surface?
This reminds we of a awkward prom night.
"Oh like we're just gonna stand up there? You guys didn't get chairs...? Yeah no that's fine. Yeah dude no worries..."
Such a cute couple and I'm so happy for them
I watched the documentary 3 times and she seemed so perfect for him. After watching it the first time, I wondered if they were still a couple and so happy to find out their now happily married with a newborn baby girl
Not watching this boring video just wanted to say Alex in a suit has to be the funniest thing I will see all day hahahah

@@MegzWassup1215 and it’s annoying that you have this victim mentality like nobody is taking away the work she did which was unbelievable she’s a crazy talented director and her being.l female has nothing to do with what this comment was saying😂🤦♂️
umm.. the act of free soloing is you know, solo. very few people would know who Alex is if it weren't for Elizabeth and Jimmy, the crew, the editors, the producers, on and on. Basically, everyone performed at their peak and we all are lucky enough to view the results of their collective effort.
6:26 The look on Alex's face lol
xD
Way to go Alex!!!!!!! :)
13:25 he just uses the fingers to hold the mic hahahahah
Alex Honnold in a suit? A tiger in africa?
Brett Sentance Are there not tigers in Africa?
Duncan Boynton Tigers are not indigenous to Africa, hence, 'a tiger in Africa' comment!
Yeah... The analogy is not obvious. Polar bear in the desert works better!
If you think alex is uncomfortable in th that suit you should see him hold a baby in the movie. It is hilarious. It was a great movie.
14:50 Jimmy - " you're just really good at it" .. haha
Skip to about 5:00
his hands are huge
Dan T. Huge hands equal huge, um.
Or was that huge feet? Or a huge nose?
Put it simple huge penis means huge penis
Brilliant Movie
The film would have been vastly improved if they cut out all the Sanni parts
What if there was rain in the middle of his climb??
Such a big deal and great presentation of this documentary, couldn’t they at least have chairs a table for the group to sit down. At least make the guest more comfortable. Poor Alex.
Yeah HKim, more comfortable climbing El Capitan without a rope than standing in a suit.
Alex looks exactly, like a young Mr Spock , That's the explanation, he's a Vulcan.
hoooooooly crap, you cracked the code.
I’m thinking, if one is climbing solo and the path up is no longer possible shouldn’t we have something to make it easy to get past a few hurdles. Something like a tube of rapid drying cement that sticks to the face, a gun that shoots an arrow into the face or a parachute that is lighter and smaller than any other yet. It will make the sport easier to watch although I’m not complaining. Thanks
These kinds of people are badass and amazing! We should all clap in our sleep
Alex is awesome!
18:13 “
What’s the closest exit?”
One of the worst documentary film making - Let me finish - They did not show much of his climb which we would have loved to see. Instead they showed his girlfriend and others. you deserve more ALEX. We need one more documentary.
Does Anyone Know Do The Filmmakers Have The Full 4 Hour Climb On Video? Why Not An Uncut Limited Edition Signed Version 199 Boxset...….I want to see the entire think from the first minute...……...……......
